3/10

My best water and windproof trousers and the best value are Delta Plus Typhoon.
When I bought two pairs (Green and Blue) they were £7.99 a pair plus postage.

They are fully lined have proper pockets and heavy in weight.

Second pair are a bib and brace waterproof trousers by Helly Hansen
Potsdam they are called.
Again padded lined and heavy duty with pockets not slits.
These were a bargain to!
I paid £30 from e bay when they should have been £120!

annabell-cagoule , yes , a cagoule or overtrousers do a dual function , keep the cold wind out and keep your body-heat in
