Waterproof overtrousers

We say…

I wore them to ride in the pouring rain and the silicone seat and knee gave me good grip. They’d suit a taller rider due to the long leg length and the fit was snug, but not too tight. The foot straps and silicone grips were handy when riding, as the trousers then didn’t ride up my legs. The poppers and zips were secure and the Velcro straps on the waistband were useful. I’d have appreciated pockets.

I wore these for yard chores and to ride, and gave them a good test in an extremely heavy downpour out on a two-hour ride. They kept me warm and dry, although a little water got through the zips on the legs. I found them a nice fit and the zips made them easy to put on over wellies or riding boots. I also liked the reflective piping.

We say…

The trousers were very comfortable, warm, waterproof and great for wearing all day even in cold, wet, windy conditions. I loved the zip and Velcro combination on the lower leg. They rode up a little, but not much. The zip phone pocket on the thigh is a good size and I found it very useful. Overall I’d say these are the best waterproof trousers I’ve ever worn. 

We say…

Very sleek and professional looking. They fitted well over my jodhpurs and didn’t feel tight. A good length that allowed me to fit them over my long riding boots, they were truly waterproof and kept me well protected, but they’re not very warm. It’s worth noting that, although there were gaps where your undertrousers would have pockets, the trousers themselves don’t have pockets.

I was initially apprehensive about the colour, however the black colourway would be practical. They were useful for slipping over breeches to keep them clean at shows, and kept me dry during moderate rain. The full-length zip on each side made them easy to pull on and take off. They’re quite expensive for a product that’s not for everyday use, but seem well made and are smart.

They were a good fit over breeches and boots, and came up true to size. They were completely waterproof and I was pleased to find they were breathable, too. The elasticated foot straps stopped them riding up and the reflective strips were handy in low light. The silicone seat was great, but I’d have liked grip on the inside lower leg too.

I liked the look and fit of these trousers, and they kept me dry even in heavy rain. I wore them for riding and yard chores and they were comfortable all day. I particularly liked the fact the material didn’t rustle. The leg zips made them easy to put on and take off, and the popper fastenings at the ankles offered a snug fit. The zipped pockets were a generous size, too.

We say…

My first impressions were that the material was quite thin and the leg rather wide. However, they kept me dry while riding and working on the yard. The reflective panels on the legs were great for hacking, and the two side pockets were deep, so things didn’t fall out. Ideal for warmer wet days, they’re quite long in the leg, so are well suited to taller riders.

We say…

The elasticated waistband made them comfortable to wear and leg zips meant they were easy to put on and take off. The sizing in the leg is fairly slim, so they’d be best suited to a slight frame. The seat offered great grip in the saddle, and overall the trousers kept me warm and dry. I was pleased to find the pockets easily held my phone, too.
