OK ideally what I'm looking for is a pair that are:
1. Suitable for spring to autumn use -zip offs for summer would be good, no need for fleece lining;
2. Tough enough to withstand scrapes against rocks, getting caught on brambles etc without ripping;
3. Water resistant enough so that when my four legged walking companion (that's her in the Avatar!) decides to shake after her water adverntures I don't end up soggy;
4. Pockets to stuff things in for easy access (although I do carry a rucksack, so not an absolute deal breaker);
5. Reasonably loose fitting;
6. Preferrably without seams on the inside leg (but that's really pushing it); and
7. Preferrably in black / neutral colours
I don't really give a stuff about logos, in fact I'm of the "why pay more for a logo?" persuasion.
Last summer I used a pair of M&S' value range cargo trousers but they gave up the ghost at the seams fairly quickly and the pockets always seemed to catch on anything at that height (e.g. door handles) leading to "Oh my god have I just ripped them" moments hence my search for something else this year.
