I'm in the market for new trousers.
I commute all year so need something that is going to handle daily use.
I've got a pair of Goretex over trousers for heavy rain / winter time, which means that I'm looking for something that is shower proof - water proof, but if they can't stand the heavy stuff it's not too important.
My current Frank Tomas trousers are 8+ years old, and although stay dry with the over trousers soak up water like a sponge without them (they've had bi-annual Tech Wash & TX Direct applications, but are just too old now.
I ride trousers over boots so they need to have a sensible zip/velcro affair at the bottom of the legs for easy on/off.
I'm on a budget, so can't afford the Rukka price band - although I do have a Rukka jacket (but that was a stock clearance steal)
Can anyone make suggestions on experience...
