Our Verdict
These are solid work horse GORE-TEX over trousers. Built with a 75 denier face fabric they feel tough to the touch and with a GORE-TEX membrane they'll keep the worst of the weather off throughout the year. The 3/4 length, 2 way, laminated zips means they can be slipped on without removing boots. The tougher face fabric means they're not the lightest but you gain a more durable trouser which most over trousers need to be.
The strip back design means they're no pockets however the part elasticated waist means you can easily access a trouser pocket if necessary and aids with a quick application if the weather suddenly turns.
