I miss the old Canterbury whites with coloured trouser pockets and the logo on the back of the ankle area.

Split this from the Eng kit discussion as it is separate but still useful.

Agree best trousers ever and still have a pair. My club uses GN club shop and very good although I prefer the matrix style over the pro performance whites just more comfy in my mind

I’ve used them for the past few years.
As with all the pro performance range they are much more of a modern tapered slim fit, material is good and more like a trackie bottom.

I've got a couple pairs of somerset players trousers picked them up from the shop at the end of the season. Made by shrey comfiest trousers I've ever owned. Even managed to get a black pair over the winter. Not sure if they are available to everyday punters or what model they are

Anybody had or seen these look a bit excessive at the price

https://mettlecricket.co.uk/products/cricket-mettle-trouser?variant=40380620603549&currency=GBP&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAjwov6hBhBsEiwAvrvN6DmIM31yr9y0HhwZ9_9kJOoVB4yE6z5ENRPTuxbBJpZtKjRqvvdoSxoCJ2wQAvD_BwE

Still amazes me this even got launched, let alone that they haven't given up on it yet - when was the last time you saw someone buy a cricket shirt that wasn't through a club shop? (especially at 60 quid!!).

It's going that well they're trying to flog it as Golf/Tennis kit too...

An older clubmate uses them for training and says they are decent, very light.

For me the black trim is horrid

Few big names ‘endorsing’ them. I wonder how much that cost them. Like mentioned above the vast majority now wear club whites. How much of a market is there for a whites only start-up?

Agreed!
The coloured ones were great, very comfortable and even the fielding ones with the shiny sides we good too.

Bit of an odd request, but any suggestions on trousers with decent knee reinforcement

Been using Adidas Elite for last few years and currently got 3 pairs with ripped knees that have been repaired numerous times, but continue to rip pretty much every time I wear them.

Partly due to poor fielding technique, but just want to see if there are options?

I have a pair of adidas whites which are also ripped. Try the phantom whites - tech with air mesh but a slightly heavier material than the adidas ones. I’ve just bought a new pair and have high hopes..
