So whether you're looking for a Berghaus jacket on sale, cheap boots, discount fleeces, reduced rucksacks, or more; you'll be ready for your next big adventure for a whole lot less! They have performed very well, and I’ve been impressed with the ability of the inner liner to block cold wind – these should not be considered simply for their waterproof performance. The colour range is limited to black with some low-key Berghaus branding and Gore-Tex labelling at different positions on the trouser. Without breathability (measured by the MVPR number or water vapour flux) then you will end up sweating underneath and get just as wet as if your legs were rained on directly!There are zips on the legs too, so you can throw them on or off quickly without having to remove your boots. A scuff patch on the inner ankle area (as shown in the photograph) is particularly useful to avoid wear and tear. Most waterproof trousers employ a membrane to block precipitation, from driving rain to snow, sleet and hail. They’re intended for high-tempo, fast-moving outdoor disciplines and offer excellent weather protection for minimal weight.

They make weatherproof products that don’t require membranes, instead trusting in the Nikwax Analogy system, a fabric construction that repels water and moves moisture fast. There are two pockets in the upper thigh area, two angled zipped pockets at the front of the waist, and then a further pocket on the rear right. Waterproof performance is excellent (5000mm HH) but because of the thickness of the material, these are not fully breathable trousers in the Gore-Tex sense of the word – instead the R900s incoporate side zips which can be opened to allow cool air to circulate in around your legs and nether regions.The interior is a brushed tricot backer which not only adds warmth but also helps to disperse moisture vapours, adding to its breathability, whilst there’s also the smart implementation of waterproof flexi-tape throughout, YKK AquaGuard-zippered hand and rear pockets, articulated knees, and a zipper-fly and snap waistband. The zips can also descend from the top and this means that you can make large, adjustable air vents in the side of them to let air in and cool yourself down if required.

Berghaus Men’s Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers - Millets

Overall, the Rohan Ventus waterproof overtrousers are an excellent outdoor garment and perfect for packing into the rucksack for a potentially wet day’s walking. The waist band is fully elasticated but also includes a toggle cord to draw them extra tightly if you so desire.I hear you cry – well Marmot are using recycled nylon in their construction which helps cut down on land-fill and is a gesture towards sustainability. Unusually for Rab gear, the Downpour waterproof overtrousers are not excessively expensive, even though they use Rab’s excellent Pertex Shield 2. We're knocking off half a point because the side zips don't fully undo - you still need to 'step through' them.

Best Waterproof Trousers - Wet Weather Overtrousers for 2023 Best Waterproof Trousers - Wet Weather Overtrousers for 2023

If you’re after some super durable waterproof trousers to see you through the gnarliest of conditions – we’re talking full blown Scottish winter weather – then these are well worth considering. Crucially, Paclite garments do not use the netting layer which significantly aids putting the trousers over your boots and existing trouser layer. Just bear in mind that at 960g in weight, these salopettes aren’t light and you’ll want to look elsewhere if you’re after a pair of waterproof trousers to stash away in your backpack. Couple this with your standard walking trousers underneath and you have fantastic heat insulation – this combination of clothing can work very well when it’s cold as well as wet.For many years, Marmot gear passed us by and it wasn’t until a friend of ours rocked up to a hike wearing a Marmot down jacket that we decided to do a bit of sleuthing around the brand – fatal mistake! In such scenarios, you’re going to want something lightweight and durable, but also a little comfier and more breathable than your bog-standard throw-on shell pant. The material feels almost bullet proof and these are perfect for all kinds of more strenuous outdoor activities. For this round up of the best waterproof trousers we’ve picked out everything from great value 2-layer overtrousers to durable, high spec, 3-layer options with brilliant breathability – and a few interesting alternative options in-between.
