Costumer Evaluations
The mistake I made was buying spending budget outdoor gear. I've accomplished it just before with poor results, but for some reason I was tempted by these "waterproof" trousers - never ever again. So what's wrong with them? 3 points:
1) They're not waterproof. They slowly leak in especially heavy rain, and you get a wet bum on a bike in light rain.
2) They don't let moisture escape. I've scoffed at so-called 'breathable' fabrics in the past, but you get almost as wet wearing these trousers as you would if you were wearing denim. It gives me a rash on my legs soon after many hours' use considering that of the damp.
3) The (boot) ends are fixed and by that I mean they are not zip/buttoned. Ever tried taking off your boots whilst outside in the pouring rain to attempt and get your waterproof trousers on? If you cant fit them More than your boots whilst wearing them, what's the point? I'm not going to go about all damn day in waterproofs.
So, in conclusion, I advise going to an outdoor store (Millets, Blacks, Tiso and so on) amd talking with a member of staff. Get some good quality trousers that fit and make confident you can get them on whilst wearing your footwear of selection. If you purchase low cost, you get twice!
My wife uses these routinely and they have proved
to be incredibly wonderful too , generous size , good delivery
