cheap waterproof over trousers

[Ted]

I tried cheap Screwfix/eBay water proof ones years ago, utter rubbish, usually the seam in the crotch goes, so you get off the other end looking like you've pee'd yourself!

I bought some waterproof bike trousers, oversized so I could get them over work clothes. They were great, but a bit hot in the summer.

I've just bought a pair of non-waterproof ones, as I'm old now and going to be a sunny biker.

my army Gortex trousers arrived yesterday.
them seem to be well made and all the seams look to have been sealed properly.

the front dosnt have a button or zip for a fly.
instead it is velcro.

the pockets are just holes to get to your trousers inside.
i will be interested to see how they pan out when it next rains.

got a HG 1 piece overall thing... bone dry in that at all times and I can wear whatever gear underneath easily then.

found when I had waterproof jacket and trousers, the water was getting in from my lap and working its way up to make a wet belly patch...

Hmm. Maybe they do issue those too. They are different to the ones I have.

See how you get on, they'll probably still take a long time to leak. They're very similar to the old Dutch army ones. From the pictures, the material looks a lot more heavy duty than mine. I have a thin, ripstop type fabric.
