I've never seen these before. They look like (American) football pants. I wonder if he made these or had them made for himself.
 
All of GBR (including horse riding, canoeing etc.) had to have the main sponsors clothing. I think it was nike, but I do know it was one of the major sports clothing companies. They had to make special hikers for him.
 
The hikers are made by Adidas.

The entire GBR olympic team (all sports, not just sailing) were sponsored by Adidas and were required to wear their kit. Adidas therefore had to make sailing kit for all the GBR sailors too.

They are Queensport 3/4 pants. I believe he would have worn the ultra light pair which is 3mm. in 2008 the grey was made with white stitching tape. Queensport were one of the hikers on the market and in my opinion still the best made with the highest ride. Ben, Robert and Blackburn all wore queensport....They just don't have the marketing $ behind them.
