  • We often ask What are the best bushcraft trousers? To a lot of people outdoor gear can often be out of range when it comes to pricing and we often opt for cargo trousers rather than branded outdoor gear. Trousers that are designed for the outdoors can often be pricey and we question if they worth it. As winter approaches I was looking for water proof trousers, winter trousers. I could have chosen a base layer and waterproof layer to go with the normal cargo trousers but this means carrying more gear. Bushcraft takes a toll on our gear so I decided that I wanted a good outdoor all round trouser and came across the Decathlon hunting range by Solognac. They waterproof robust and warm and they look good too. So taking my experience and doing a review on them was a no brainier. I often turn to CZcams for recommendations and feel it’s only fair to offer the same advice I often come to look for. Not everything is perfect but these come close, I found one annoying issue but it’s something easily overcome.

      Did notice it was a bit quiet, but if my knackered old ears can hear it (I blame it on Motorhead) I am sure everyone else can hear it just fine.

    Solognac is a region in France known for hunting. Decathlon hunting range is called Solognac, the hiking range is Forclaz. None the less great kit for the price

    Solognac do some really great stuff, considering how well priced it is....
    I bought their 50L rucksack as a backup, but quickly became my go to overnight pack and the more expensive one is the backup. I even have the 30L version is my day pack.... And of course, the external pouches can be moved back and forth, they're great....

    Really cool how they zip open at the bottom to convert into Lionel Blairs (just in case they come back into fashion)😂. I have been wearing a pair of Solognac hunting trousers for the last 2 winters. Been on a couple of multi day husky safaris with them with no long Johns under them. Worn them in some pretty harsh weather. Never found better value for money than in Decathlon. Plenty of cheap outdoor clothing around but solognac and quechua gear lasts.
    Nice review Alex, great to see you on here again. Snowy and cold up here. Hopefully be back in the UK soon to work on my sun tan.

    Great Review and impressive pair of trousers. I’ve previously done a reviews on their winter 500 trousers which are fab for this time of year out and about wildcamping. Have had my eye on these for a couple of years - got me thinking 🤔 about my next purchase 👍 thanks for posting. Great job 👍 just done a comparison video on my channel of Revolution Race vs Fjallraven you may enjoy watching. ATB Mark. Liked and subbed.ps that zip feature at the end of the leg is a winner for me.

    Had a pair of these for a few years, there not bad for money hard wearing, however poor fly zip, the press studs rust after prolonged wet use Down side stay away from open fires, a good spark melts the fabric.
