ilovemyheckler Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I am after a new pair of waterproof overtrousers (pref Gortex) suitable for walking, beating, shooting etc. They need to be 100% waterproof, breathable and hard wearing Durability and performance are more inportant than price any suggestions please?

Cranfield Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Every pair of waterproof over trousers I have owned (incl the "breathing" variety ), have caused sweating or condensation when strenous exercise is involved, like beating. When I need leg protection incl waterproofing, I wear leggings (both long and short), either ordinary, or the stud on version. I have a couple of pairs of Barbour and also Dickies (half the price and much the same). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggest Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 I got a pair of Dickies over-trousers for my birthday which are like waxed hard cotton. They look pretty tough and I reckon they will be good, when I eventually get out to try them. The problem with pretty much all waterproof trousers, even Gortex, is that by being waterproof they will keep some heat and moisture in and make you sweat.
