Berghaus Men's Waterproof Maitland Gore-TEX Overtrousers, Waterproof Walking Trousers, Part of The DofE Recommended Kit List, Outdoors Clothing

Product Information

I found the trousers to be just right in the baggy/slim fit stakes, and the material seemed to offer a respectable amount of durability. Waterproof trousers might not be the most fashionable pieces of kit, but you’ll be thankful you have them when the heavens open. I have worn them past 5 out of 7 mornings though heavy rain approximately for 5 miles each time always with 100% waterproof results.

They are almost a third of the cost of Paramo trousers, on average, yet received an overall score of 80%. Knee length zips on the legs help mitigate this, but it would have been more helpful if they came up further. Breathability is job number 2 on the requirement list of waterproof trousers and helps to prevent moisture building inside the trousers. From lightweight men’s hiking shorts to stylish cargo shorts fit for the summer, our range of shorts will keep you feeling cool whatever you’ve got planned.Easily packed up, they have an articulated fit and zip adjustable ankles, which makes getting them on over your boots a much simpler task.

The trousers are available in men’s sizes XS-XXXL with 3 different leg lengths and women’s sizes 8-20, again with 3 different leg lengths.We also like to see pockets, vents (or two way zips on the leg) and a slim cut so they don’t act as sails in the wind. As a general rule, the general style of the trouser isn’t something that matters enormously in terms of performance, it’s the quality of the waterproof trousers that we really care about. At their core, waterproof trousers have two main jobs – to keep and to be breathable to prevent any build-up of moisture inside the trouser.
