Any recommendations?
Just replaced my overtrousers after ruining the last pair by riding in them, I’d like to avoid doing that to the new pit!
I already have a fleece lined pair for proper winter, are there any lightweight ones about?

I have some neoprene ones, which I paid £5 in Robinsons sale many years ago. They've kept me dry and warm every winter since, and still look as good as new. I chuck them in the washing machine periodically

I have had Musto and Rambo, both good, the Rambo were cheaper. I bought them many years ago, still waterproof. They are the fleece lined ones though.

I have also had some neoprene ones, they are hot, but mine weren't waterproof.

For lightweight ones, I have some Rainlegs. They are chaps, but only cover the fronts of your legs. They roll up into a belt, so no cover, then, if it rains, you roll them down to your knees. Excellent for summer showers.

Do you have any guidance on size for these please? I dont seem to be able to find a size chart. They look to be just what I need.

I think I just got a large, as they were in the sale LOL. I haven't used them since I lost all my weight, but can't think that size is crucial, as the webbing is just to keep the material in place.

Ooh, I like the look of those rain legs ones @Red-1
Thanks everyone, there’s a few options here to look at.
@Auslander do neoprene ones not just soak up the water and get heavy?!

I’m not organised enough for waterproof breeches tbh! But it’s a nice idea
