Waterproof Trousers

[IanDarkpeak]

I have these paramo pants too. best 100 quid ever i spent, warm in cold weather, cool in warm weather, i wear them out walking, wear them to and from races, the side zips leave them very easy to get on and off over shoes or boots, evan wear them around the house, Just make sure the pockets are zipped closed if you are out in heavy rain as that is the only place where water can get in.

I have had a pair of these for a couple of years. Useless for running in, bit to heavy, but great for walking in, especially during the winter, water repellancy is not of course as good as say eVent or Gortex but you can get them for less than £100, you pay for what you get. Comfortable for skiing in as well.

agreed Paramo is brilliant hill kit but is not for runners, I use to test the stuff about 19 years ago, then the face fabric was pertex.

Many in my MR team have Paramo pants

Ian what walking waterproofs do you have?

The Lowe Alpine triplepoint ones that went with the Adrenilene jackets (sp ) were decent for about 40 quid

I've got a pair of these; extremely good, used for KIMM etc. You can even run in them as long as it's really cold and pissing it down!

I went with my Mountain Equipment fetish and bought the Ogre's.....they have literally just been delivered and i might so and stand in the shower to test them out..............im joking by the way.g

Sorry Al only just read this

I have some MacPac gortex salopettes for ML/winter walking and work.

and a few different jackets depending on conditions from a Karrimor XCR winter mountaineering jckt to a light weight NF jacket. The piece of kit I use the most when walking/teaching/MR is my Montane Extreme Smock. Good piece of kit very versatile but too warm/heavy for running (although I did use it on a night section of a BG once)
Basically it's a copy of a Buffalow mountain shirt which I've had in the past.

Although the Montane one is very good and alot cheaper my Buffalow took much more punishment before looking tatty.

I really like the Montane DT Atomic leggings which to me feel lighter than the OMM's. but probably much of a muchness
