Birding Tips #13 birding trousers

Birding Trousers;

In the 70s we all wore jeans to go birding because

1- they were cheap

2- they were hard wearing

3- there wasnt much else!

4- maybe we thought  the smell of four  guys in soaking wet jeans   in a car was rugged!

Nowadays there are alternatives - craghoppers seem to be a fave alongside rohan north face  regatta etc, they also have more pockets . Personally I can't think of anything worse than wet jeans to bird in  :))
