Top trousers, these.

Re: OMM KAMLEIKA trousers
I've got a pair of the KIMM model and the material is awesome. I have only worn them for the long winter races though - OMM, HPM. But they are the only trousers I would ever try to run in.
Re: OMM KAMLEIKA trousers
I have the 2008 pants. I've not been out in conditions bad enough to require them running, but I've found them great for cycling in. I can certainly imagine running in them, unlike the waterproof overtrousers I used to have for kit check/safety purposes.
£65 looks a bargain, and if you want the smock/jacket as well the deal on those looks great. Don't know what improvements have been made for this year's version, but can't see it being worth 25 quid :) Too bad they only seem to come in black :(

The newer versions not yet in are supposed to feel a bit nicer next to the skin, but then they said the same thing last year and I've not heard anyone say that the 08 ones feel uncomfortable. The design for the 09 jackets is a bit 'snazzier' as you might expect, but in terms of function not quite sure how they could be much better- the tape on the seams is stretchy as well as the fabric where as the old tape on the seams wasn't - makes sense though in practise not sure if it will be noticable. I've got the Kamlaeika Vail - which doesn't have a hood so doesn't always meet the minimum kit requirements like the OMM for example - but I use it quite a bit for biking hence the no hood option. Mates have got the trousers and reckon that they perform well though the close cut at the legs does make one look like a 'sex pest' again I don't think this compromises their performance though. :)

The Smock does come up quite small, but it's designed to be fairly tight fitting. I find the small fits me okay, and I'd usually pick small size for normal clothing. I think I was wearing it at last years Xmas on the Fells if that's any help DT.
Re: OMM KAMLEIKA trousers
Yeah I'm medium in everything and in the smock...
Re: OMM KAMLEIKA trousers
Cheers Moth & Steve! I've ordered medium smock from Likeys :)
Re: OMM KAMLEIKA trousers
Mine's XL DT, so not sure what size you'll need :D
