5-Reasons - Martina

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

1. The trousers are protective and comfortable in all weather, I wear them all year round to protect against the cold, sun and biting insects. 

2. The trousers don’t gape (no builders bum) when I’m leaning over, instead sitting neatly around my waist.
3. Very hard wearing, dry quickly and no ironing needed, I’ve had mine for 7 years and they still look as good as new.
4, Plenty of useful safe pockets, some are large enough for a mobile as well strong enough for secateurs.
5. They just look professional, doesn’t really show the dirt so smart enough to wear to the shops on the way home from work or to wear just out walking.
Bought for me by husband at Hampton Court 2016.
