MT500, Durable Backpacking Pants, Men’s

Excellent

I am going to buy a couple more pairs they are that good and comfortable.

They are great but since it's still new, hope it last for long time

Really like them.

Very comfortable and pretty warm. I used these for the Test Way, where I got soaked. They stayed pretty dry under waterproof trousers and, although they got a bit damp, dried quickly. Useful pockets to store maps and phone. They worked very well for me!

My main worry was what size to choose, after some post lock-down over-indulgences. For once these are perfect. I am 1m80 (5'11), a bit chubbier than I would like (90kg) at the moment. If I'd followed the sizing advice based on Waist dimensions, I should have gone for the size above, I thought this was way too big, so I decided to go for UK 39" / FR 48 and it is just perfect. They are comfortable, have a good stretch which would allow you to "grow" (in the wrong places), but also allow you to keep them with a smaller waist due to the elasticity (and the belt) ... So perfect ! Well made, comfy, light which is good, and look great for casual use, but also sturdy. A great product ! Little velcro with the button-clip to close the trousers, which I am not necessarily a fan of, but great overall ! Decent price for the quality at (£34.99).

I originally bought these as an additional layer when riding in winter / spring forests. I found that cycling tights didn't keep me particularly warm, dry or comfortable. I took a bit of a risk with these but honestly love them. They're tight on the quads and ass, but seems as i'm built like a dump truck with a 32 waist this is expected. Saying that, because of the stitched panels and elastane inclusion, they passed the "squat test" with flying colours. They don't ride down your butt when riding (or squatting), have enough space for bib shorts underneath and are water repellent. The pockets are a little tight, but again I think this is a personal issue, not a product one. My only qualm is the lower leg is a smidge loose, and no, i don't have small calves. but this is to accommodate hiking boots rather than cycling cleats. I solved with this an elastic band to keep the trouser leg out of the chain. In these warmer months, i still find myself wearing them as they're particularly thick and add a layer of protection against stinging nettles, bushes and the odd cow. If you're not a fan of cycling leggings / tights and are looking for a lightweight, all purpose trouser, these are for you. Especially when a set of "gravel cycling specific" trousers will see you back £50+ and look like tarpaulin.

Work trousers with plenty of room and pockets

The product itself is great - good design and made from seemingly quality materials. However, it came up very tight around my quads and glutes! The waist measurement for me was perfect so I'm disappointed there isn't more give around the seat area.

Just received my Forclaz MT 500. Trousers . And what a joy to wear them . Lightweight.soft fabric . These are quality hiking trousers . You'd pay double the price for the well known hiking trousers . Save your money buy these you won't be disappointed.

I am very pleased with these trousers. Lightweight yet durable materials. Very comfortable and warm. Plenty of pockets for keeping things handy. Finally, good value for money.

I would say i am of average size, 6ft1 32 waist and 32 inseam. I got these trousers and they are well made. The only draw back to them is that they are a bit snug around my quads. I am unsure with how to rectify this issue but jusy so people are aware, if you are an average person these may come uo tight in certain areas.
