I ordered a pair of Bear Grylls Craghopper survival pants about a month ago, and have put them to the test. I have to say, I really like the looks of these pants, and wearing them, I just get the urge to go run and jump around and do Bearsy things. These pants are very comfortable and the stretch panels are awesome, however, there are some downsides to these pants. First, these are survival pants, yet if you get anything too hot around them, they melt. If you are around say, a campfire, embers that pop will melt right through them. The other issue I have is the quality of craftsmanship. These things feel like the cheapest pair of pants ever. The pockets feel like they could tear if you put anything remotely sharp in there (keys), and the hip zipper pocket’s zipper broke the first time I used it.
Bottom line
If you want a pair of comfortable, light-weight pants, or even just want to be like Bear….get these. If you want a pair of long-lasting “survival” pants….look elsewhere.
By the way, I guess they are closing out the line, because they have most of the line on sale for 50-70% off.
I just picked up one of these at cheaper than dirt the other day and installed it on my 10/22 in about 20 minutes. I had none of the issues that people spoke of in their reviews. I then went out to the range and sighted in my red dot scope. So far, I have had no complaints other than a little play in the adjustable stock portion, but that’s not that big of an issue. It seems to be made of good quality, heavy plastic, and is very rigid. I will try to get some pics and video up the next time I go to the range.
