The Bear Grylls Clothing Line - Review

The Bear Grylls Clothing line is brought to us by, none other than, the host of "Man vs Wild", a survival show on the Discovery channel. Bear is a survivalist who, week after week, finds himself the worst of situations and expertly makes his way out alive.

For a survivalist like him - or any one else who enjoys an extreme lifestyle, for that matter - clothing and gear are vitally important. If you are going climbing, hiking, kayaking or anything else, you will need something light enough to keep you cool and that will stretch enough to allow for movement.

Even though the Bear Grylls Clothing line is fairly expensive, you will always get what you pay for. The clothing is extremely well constructed and durable. So far, I've washed my pants countless times and I haven't noticed any fading, discolorations or seam distress.

For a moment, I'd like to continue to talk about the durability of the Bear Gyrlls clothing line. I enjoy long hiking trips and I'm pleased to say that my pants showed no signs of wear or tear after a 10 day excursion to battle the presidential range in the Whites of New Hampshire. Other than the obvious mud and dirt here or there, my pants looked and felt about as good as (if not better than) the day I bought them.

Speaking of comfort, that's another benefit that offsets the pricing of Bear Gylls clothing. I often find myself lounging in a pair of trousers while tackling a bowl of popcorn on movie night or exploring the old dusty attic during spring cleaning. They are just that comfortable - I can wear them almost anywhere.

  1. I'd love to pick up a pair of the survivor trousers... BUT... apparently they don't expect tall people to be adventurous. At 6'7", they don't offer a waist/inseam combo that even comes close to my 38w/36i.

    They could be $50 or $200 for all I care, but they get $0 from me.

  2. May have used to be worth the money but no longer. DO NOT BUY THESE ITEMS THIS YEAR! They are not only more expensive but also are inferior in quality and atttributes. Below is some of the comments I sent Craghoppers.

    The Nosilife was the most important feature I wanted in these clothing items. As you know there are lots of choices out there for outdoor clothing and this brand is perhaps the hardest to find and get. Your shipping to the US is not cheap and since no retailers even carry this line I have to guess on fit. However that was all worth it when it had the Nosilife feature because I could also not find that anywhere. I was waiting on pins and needles for the new line to update thinking I could get the Trek shirt and the survivor pants, that was a $155 order! However now I will have to wait another year just to see if you update your products with the technology that should have been there anyways. Also you are charging $5 more now, the shirt was listed for $65 previously. So you are charging more now for what is an inferior product, that does not have the Nosilife, or the stretch feature, than you offered last year
