I've been looking for a pair of decent (read: not bin-bag, preferably full-zip, suitable for mountaineering, and not black) hardshell trousers for a while.
Obvious choices from good brands seem to be the ME Tupilak, Rab Sharp Edge, Jottnar, etc. however it's proving difficult to find anywhere that's stocking these online (Cotswold, Needle Sports, AlpineTrek, Joe Browns, etc.) and where they are to be found, they're usually at full RRP (£300+) which I'm hesitant to fork out for!
Am I just being optimistic wanting to find anything that cuts below the £250 mark (and preferably lower), and if so where are good places to look?
