Thread: Autumn and Winter Walking Trousers 👖

  1. #1

    Autumn and Winter Walking Trousers 👖

    It's leathering it down

    I need a pair of outdoor trousers to keep the rain out

    Obviously the ultimate rain proof trouser is those plastic pvc type elasticated ones that go over a normal trouser . But I can't walk in them .

    Are there any walkers out there who can suggest an almost waterproof trouser in one which means you dont have to walk around like arnie ?

    I am not talking about going up everest

    I've got Regatta over trousers, a Berghaus coat and walking boots. I'll be dry and warm but looking more suited to a walk up Pen Y Fan

    If you want to keep the rain out you need the overtrousers.

    No walking trousers are waterproof. Some are a bit showerproof. The main benefit of them is that they will dry fairly quickly - jeans won't.

    It's the over trousers

    They cramp my style

    Nothing worse than soggy jeans and an itchy crotch

    You can get powder for your crabs from the chemist Sludgey. That'll stop the itching

    Come on. It's 2021 and you're on a computer. You don't know there's such a thing as breathable waterproof outerwear? Do the words GORE-TEX mean nothing to you?

    I got a long waterproof/fleece lined jacket top and trousers from Mountain Warehouse a few years back which I've used when out walking and fishing. I've stood fishing in a near monsoon and was dry in this combo and warm.
