Gardening trousers are more than a one trick peony

Genus - the Men's Waterproof Gardening Trousers - are a bit like DIY trousers with lots of handy built-in pockets and, crucially, knee pads to make those long sessions pulling up weeds more comfortable. 

Genus says the £169 product is “the first-ever totally waterproof trousers specially designed for gardening and cut specially for men”, adding “using the same showerproof fabric on the outside, these pants have a full-length waterproof lining so you stay totally dry. 

Features include:

- Zipped thigh pockets for seed packets, labels, or bits and bobs - Zipped pocket for mobile phone - Rear patch pockets - Deep zipped hand pockets - Stylish two-tone belt - Raised waistband for back protection - D-ring for keys - Ankle press studs for easy access to boots 

They’ve also received praise from buyers, with one saying: “This is the second pair of waterproof trousers I have purchased from Genus. As with the previous pair, they are a great fit with many useful features. Perfect for me as a keen amateur gardener. I have purchased various products from Genus over a few years, and they provide consistently good customer service, so highly recommended.” 

Another added: “You get what you pay for, they are just the best trousers in every way possible.”
