EDC pants / trousers
Any particular favourites out there, I hear names like 5:11 being bandied about the forums but most folks I know dont bother with propriety brands.
I for example wear Cragghopper Kiwi cargos with their concealed extra pockets, but I only buy em when they are on offer.
Do you folks have a favourite??

I'm wearing my 5.11s now actually. I've tried loads of different ones, and for me it's either these, or my Ridge Point combat trousers (winter lined or summer zip offs)
5.11s can be got for around the £40ish mark, the Ridge Points? £18 from CostCo 
I don't know what it is with the craghoppers, but they seem to be the wrong shape for me - and they don't have anywhere near enough pockets for my gear, which is a shame cause the 4 pairs that I have are superb 
Oh yeah, craghoppers are £23 from CostCo too.

ThatchReed black police style (Cargo)
Pre-shrunk Heavy duty 100% Cotton, 6 pockets, Zip fly, Waist side adjusters, Good wide belt loops, Tie bottoms.
Most PROPER army surplus and better workwear outlets.
Definitely not found in the Gucci camo / yellow wellie shops.
I've got 4 pairs 5 years ago for £15 each.
Indestructable! (so far)

RE: EDC pants / trousers
Don't you find when jeans get wet they never seem to dry out and lose all insulation?
Wind and wet denim is definitely a health hazard.
