My OH is whipping in this year (so has to go out hail wind or snow practically). He decided he wants some waterproof breeches. After a trip up to Old Mill Saddlery this afternoon he has decided he doesn't like the racing style waterproof breeches as they are very thin and very very slippery, and also made for midgets (an XL size just about fitted :smirk:).

Did a google search tonight and found these.......

which look fab, but are very expensive at about £110.

Can anyone recommend them, or alternatively tell me where to get them at the best price???

Many thanks

Fiona

White overtrousers - Google BOWLING suppliers. I got mine, breathable too, from a bowling company for £18, super quality.

Can you suggest any stockists - as ri dry do not seem to have their own website (bizarre in this day and age) so I can't find out any more about them.

Thanks
