Bear Grylls Men's Survivor Trousers

I have purchased 3 of these pants (two from Amazon and one directly from Craghoppers) and thus I am assured they were not merely "lemons."I am not sure whether Bear Grylls either replaces these pants each episode or they were simply made better during his stint on Man vs. Wild but these pants are a COMPLETE DISASTER.On my first weekend outing (two simple overnights backpacking on designated trails only) the first pair began to fall apart. The stitching along the crotch came undone and traveled the entire gusset of the pant. The interior button (the second-securing-one) came right off (it's not a reinforced button like the main outer one). Upon further inspection (on day ONE) I noticed that literally EVERYWHERE the stitching was coming undone. I was forced to make multiple repairs with textile glue and sewing. I then switched to my backup pair for the next day. And guess what. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AFTER MERE HOURS OF EASY, TRAIL-ONLY WEAR. No scrambling, no climbing, nothing. Mere walking. That's all.I have also used the 4-way stretch version of these pants. SAME RESULT. So either they are currently made to fail immediately or Bear Grylls doesn't wear anything made after 2011 for these WILL NOT protect you at all in any setting, let alone a SURVIVAL setting.Thankfully I ordered the first two pair from Amazon and was able to return them within the 30 day window. Amazon was utterly amazing at assisting me, refunding my ENTIRE purchase including shipping. So in essence, DO NOT BUY THESE PANTS. Many Craghopper products are top-notch (such as the Bear Trek Long-sleeved Shirt--literally the best outdoor shirt on the market)I have many products from Bear Grylls and normally would trust his choices for outerwear but I cannot condone that any individual buys these. They will fail you. And sadly, that might happen when you need them most.

I love these pants , I have 2 pairs and wear them regularly twice a week climbing indoors and outdoors and have had absolutely no problems they are very comfortable and I've even skinned off the rocks and very little from the impacts , I recommend these pants and am looking to order more for myself
