I bough these over trousers quite a few months back when we had the heatwave / long summer. They have been in the cupboard with there labels on ready for the winter. Well over the last few weeks it has virtually never stopped raining here in County Durham. I have some Goretex Berghaus trousers and are spot on but wanted some new over trousers as my last pair were 20+ years old and too small. These were pricey but have not let me down in the last couple of weeks. Last Saturday I had my goretex trousers and goretex over trousers on and I was out from 9am to 2.15pm in the lashing rain and my legs were bone dry. They have long zips up the sides of the legs so you don't have to remove your shoes / boots before putting them on or taking them off. You can pull them in at the ankle as well and have extra protection on the inside for rubbing. So far I cannot fault them and will hopefully last as long as my old pair and will be more than happy.
RRP £100 and I paid £60
