5-Reasons - Christine

We ran a competition in the May 2023 issue of the Genus Potpourri magazine.  5 reasons to love Genus trousers.  Christine won a Genus voucher for £50.

My 5 reasons:

1. such a good fit. The best fitting trousers in my wardrobe and I didn't need to shorten them! 
2. integral knee pads- always knowing where they are and the dog can't run off with them! 
3. lots of pockets - including a zip one for anything valuable
4. secateur pocket - so useful knowing where they are - so long as I remember to put them back!
5. so comfortable and easy to move in
