The gardening trousers are quite expensive but felt it was worth it, pre purchase. The waterproofing goes within a month, after only 1 wash. The belt buckle is inferior plastic. Trousers were €200 so quite expensive for the quality. I wouldn’t recommend at all. Customer service suggested I had tightened the belt too much, which I hadn’t. Sure, a belt is meant to hold the trousers up! Knee pads need to be thicker also. They also tear quite easily if brush off thorns. All in all, disappointing. I’m going to buy Fjallraven now. My wife also bought a pair, non waterproof, and she had same issues, including a double break in the belt buckle. They sell replacement belts on their site, at €20, same quality by look of things.
