It's all pants!

What does the discerning, modern, natural historian wear in the field for the 2015 season?

Pants.

And workman's pants at that.

I recently found THE best trousers for doing fieldwork and the odd bit of natural history, which also double up as immense gardening trousers.

May I introduce to you the Dickies Redhawk Pro Work Trousers (in Black)!

They are well made from hardwearing material and have a plethora of pockets. Notebooks, pens, tubes, pooter and even your lunch can all be accommodated.

And most importantly there is the option of the addition of kneepads. These make the work of getting down on your hands and knees for hours on end, to root out those difficult beetles, a veritable joy.

I can't believe I haven't seen more biologists/ecologists in similar attire. I love mine and will be ordering more (with ever increasing waistlines as the years progress).

Get them while you can!
