The verdict: Excellent value, with some great features to keep you warm and dry.
“These breeches were really warm and the high-rise back kept out draughts. At first I was a bit dubious about the shiny fabric, but they looked better on and were surprisingly stretchy. I think they offer really good value and I’d buy them again.”
