Textile trouser reccomendations

Hi,

After about 2 1/2 years of life my Spada Flage trousers are finally coming to their end, holes in the knees (oddly) kill the waterproofing and they are bloody hot at the moment.

So, can anyone recommend a suitable replacement?
Primarily used for commuting and any wet weather riding, all year round so so a removable thermal lining is MUCH preferred.
£100 maximum but would prefer lower.

Thanks anyone!

I recently bought a pair of "100% waterproof cordura trousers" from https://www.bikegeardirect.co.uk/ they seem good quality and come with CE armour, well within your price range at about £50.

Haven't had chance to test them out yet, although it is raining outside so I guess I could pop out for a bit!

Someone (maybe on here?) wore them in the shower to test the waterproof properties and they stayed dry (apparently!).

The thermal lining isn't as thick as my rev'it ones and I imagine they would be cold in winter but they seem good for summer riding.

My rev'it ones were circa £150 but bloody fantastic if you can stretch to spending that much.

Edit. OP, iooi means have a look here:
