Top Rated: Keela Scuffer Trousers (7.5 / 10)
Category: Heavy Duty Cold Weather Softshell Trousers
There's enough right about Keela's Scuffer trousers: the fit, the material, the ankle adjustments (once customised) and welt panels, the zips, hip pockets and belt. But there's also enough wrong with them to keep us in the market for a better option. If you've got this far into our review and know of a pair of softshell trousers that will satisfy our wants as well as our needs (see wish list in our full review), then please contact us via our main site's footer and let us know.
Keela's Scuffers do all the main things well; they're tough, stretchy and very durable. They'll protect you from harsh wind, biting cold, scree and bog alike. Now if they could add a thigh pocket, knee reinforcements, and beef up the velcro ankle tab we could start raving about them. In the meantime, Keela's Scuffers, in spite of their failings, are still Scramble's top pick in our Cold Weather Softshell Trouser category.
