Waterproof chaps

[chaps89]

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?

Ann Rees made to measure, great quality, good price, absolutely recommend them.

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.

I've changed from chaps to decathalon waterproof breeches and find them much before riding in

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.

I live in mine in the winter. I have Rambo ones.
I’ve just ordered a second pair for riding in as my main ones are a bit mucky at the bottom and I don’t do muddy stuff for riding.

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
