		<description>I got myself a Velez light smock a few months back which has been brilliant in the crap weather we had in Scotland  over much of the summer. It almost makes my Aspira redundant (almost!) So I decided to get a pair of the velez light trousers. The large were a great fit roomy everywhere apart from the thighs , now I take a lot of exercise and my thighs are muscled but I am hardly Chris Hoy. They would be fine for walking, but just far too restrictive for anything else. I am sure I wont be alone in finding that Paramo have just slimmed the shape down a wee bit too much in the wrong area.</description>

		<description>Anyone know if they have loops on the waist band for a pair of braces? They look pretty good for ski touring to me. Very interesting...</description>

		<description>V. interesting! 

Though the question Phil raises about durability is a good one. My Cascadas have frayed near the bottoms of the legs, and I think there&#039;s even a small hole. One side zip has broken too, though of course that&#039;s a separate issue, and I&#039;ve no doubt they&#039;ll replace it for me, free of charge. Still, though. I&#039;d be a little wary of buying something even less durable than Cascadas as a main walking trouser, especially if they&#039;re very expensive.

		<description>I&#039;ve heard some negative reports regarding the durability of the Velez Adventure Smock face fabric - the guy in the outdoors shop in Braemar inparticular stated that it was &quot;less durable than Pertex&quot;. Assuming the same fabric is used, is this the most appropriate fabric for a pair of trousers? I notice there&#039;s a couple of different shades of fabric used - is this reinforcement?</description>
