Found this in my email this morning, I really wanted it for the jacket as I have excellent over trousers. Lists as 19.99 but when you click through it's 14.99 and even with postage it's only 18.98

Generally I'm ok, but when it's heavy I have a pair of 'bin men' trousers at home and at work. However these are black with Hi-Viz rather than Yellow/Green so not too nasty. The biggest problem with regular over trousers is the breathable area around the crotch it just lets water in, particularly as it runs down the tank when you stop.

Fuck that. Mind you I tend to just sit about in wet bike trousers, they're wet but I'm dry and toasty Thumbs Up

I just wear my textile jacket in the rain, save the leather for good days, it's waterproof enough, nothing gets through after my 30 min ride in heavy rain (my boots are a different story)

lowers I tend to wear armoured waterproof over trousers, also do the job very well.

This looks decent for the price though for anyone not already waterproofed up Thumbs Up

I'd highly recommend the British Army Goretex lined waterproofs which work out at around the same price. Water and windproof with ripstop material. They work out roughly the same price and the quality, I would imagine is a lot higher.

British or German Army boots also work out a hell of a lot cheaper than bike boots and are a lot more comfortable to walk in too.

British Army boots, waterproof and lined with Goretex:

German Army para boots, waterproof, lined with Goretex and highly recommended by bikers:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B006ZZ7P5C

I wear both and like them both equally. If you're a bit short in the leg and ride a larger bike, then the British Army ones are great as their heel is slightly higher and gives you a little bit of height.

The German boots are perfect for cruisers and smaller bikes. 18 5* Reviews too.

Both prices will leave you enough to buy yourself a waterproof pair of gloves.
