Great value trousers made to a high standard with many of the features of more expensive products

AQ2 fabric is durable, waterproof and ( in my experience ) quite breathable.
Long zips are incredibly useful for slipping on over boots and for a bit of ventilation.
Good price
Fit well and not baggy
Could get more durable and breathable trousers if you paid a bit more.
No way to access pockets of trousers underneath.
Fairly heavy and bulky.
These have served me well even in torrential rain in the Lakes and were good value. Don't know how I'd cope without the leg zips!
I found these suitable for walking all year round but don't know how they'd cope with tougher mountain conditions.

GREAT for the price.

Waterproof.

Windproof.

Durable.

Cheap.
A bit on the heavy side.

A bit on the sweaty side.
Personally i love my deluge over trousers BUT if you are a weight conscious minimalist then they may be a bit on the heavy side. I also found them to be a bit on the sweaty crotch side BUT i zipped the ventilation zip right to the top which sorted it out by letting a breeze in.

For the price you can't really grumble.

!!! RECOMMENDED !!!

Ok for the price

Reasonably cheap
Quite waterproof
Versatile zip down the side for venting
No fly at the front - it's no point keeping dry if you have to get soaked having a pee
Fragile - ripped holes in mine on first use
Not as waterproof as I would like
Best you can get for the price, but I'd save for better

EXCELLENT!

Ease of use for someone with injuries that effect ease and extent of movement when putting on/taking off. Fully waterproof and light in weight.
None found.
I rate these trousers very highly and have found that they exceed my expectations. The design and quality of materials and manufacture is excellent. As is the price.
