So I've added a 3/4 pant to the team line for next spring. It hooks up to a warm-up and is made with a lighter fabrication so it's perfect for training in cooler conditions without over heating. Right now it's made with a knit material but would it be good to bring a woven version as well?
I would say no, i have a number of pairs of 3/4 pants and i dont really like my woven pair, my woven pair tends to hold water and get a little heavy
when you say hooks up, do you mean there's a jersey that attaches to it?
Warm-up
There's a Jacket and Pant that are made of the same material and has similar design lines. We decided to go with solid colors for this so I can hook with more styles.
I hope the material of the pants is of good quality. I've seen Nike pants wear quickly.
What Bonafide Zulu said. I've had two pairs of Nike long trousers and will never touch a pair again. One pair survived less than one training session on 2G astro. The others lasted about half-a-dozen uses on natural surfaces. A real shame, because for fit, comfort and cushioning they were excellent.
You've got to bear in mind that most keepers on here (and most keepers, full stop) will be buying long trousers to use on astro or very ropey grass pitches. For 30 quid (or whatever you'll be charging) these have to have some durability.
These will retail at $40.00 USD and I've been wearing them for training and occasional indoor games and they are still in excellent shape. Mind you these are a US style so the ones you have used in the past were not part of the US line so i can't comment on them.
I think the knit material is good enough. I will definitely be buying myself a pair.

As a Californian with our weather, keep the knit skip the woven. IMPO.
