Ordered in Black with 1.5" belt loops and logo relocated to rear plus velcroed rear pockets.
What really surprised me when I first got these is that, unlike most water proof trousers, these are actually smart! So much so that they are even OK to wear to the office!
Whether they will stay looking that way after a while is another matter - but so far they have definitely kept me dry in some goodly rainings and even after that (i.e. not washed yet, but creased from use) are as wearable about town as jeans in that they aren't baggy like most waterproofs, but then these are not listed as over-trousers so it's no indictment of other types/brands.
Going to be too warm in the summer due to the double layer I suspect so I may have to get a single layer pair for the warmer months
Would I change anything? I would extend the fly down by an inch, it is an inch too high for easy access;-)
All in all very pleased with these trous..
