Sandiline Freeride Extreme Dry Trousers...

...because  there's  nothing  sexier  than  suspenders

I had never before seen the point in dry trousers until my famously leaky brand of dry suit decided to become very very leaky. I bought the Sandiline Freeride Extreme Dry Trousers as a temporary solution before I plucked up the courage to invest in a new drysuit. I am now contemplating sticking with this cag, trouser combo for good! Here are ten reasons why:

1.

The four-layered fabric keeps your legs dry but remains breathable so that you don’t get a sweaty bum.

2.

    

3.

The knees and bum are reinforced with cordura so that you can sit and kneel on spiky things. 

They have enough room around the knees and bum for ease of movement, without being too baggy.

4.

The waist band feels super secure, with its strong elastic and sticky Velcro. This does a great job of keeping the water out and I’d imagine it would also help to prevent hernias, although I haven’t done sufficient research in this area to make a guarantee. 

5.

Suspenders are sexy as hell.

6.

If you have a  willy, I hear that pee zips are helpful. If not, they are quite useful for letting the air out of your legs. Yes, that’s right, these trousers seal so well that you have to let the air out before paddling!

7.

The zip seems to be more flexible than metal zips and most other plastic zips so feels really comfortable and shouldn’t interfere with your privates.

8.

Built-in socks mean that you avoid latex seals and therefore maintain circulation in your feet.

9.

The cag and trouser combo is a versatile solution if done properly. For the same price as buying a relatively poor quality dry suit, you can have a high quality cag and trousers to suit all seasons.

10.

If you want your legs to look as sexy as this, then the Sandiline Freeride Extreme Dry Trousers are clearly to way to go! ;-)
