onesea Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) I am looking for a affordable set of trousers with knee hip & armour that are vaguely waterproof... However I want s set you can put on quickly & easily, without removing your boots... Strange request I know but it's for practical commuter reasons. Any suggestions?

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Walked through a waterfall in Knox waterproofs and didn’t get wet! Mind you they weren’t armoured trousers, they were just waterproofs so not a lot of use here. Good stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onesea Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 These are not as work trousers.. they are to go over trousers to keep me dry and give protection incase of an off on way to work... Presently I wear work uniform trousers which don't offer much protection. I don't ride to work in rain and cannot take long way home. Used a "suitably" deliberately a grey expression as it depends upon how useable they are.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Sounds like the sort of thing I do . You have designed something in your head only to discover that it doesn't exist . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I've not seen overtrousers with armour. All mine are just waterproofs I put on over my usual kit to keep the worst of the wet and mud off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yes the ones in the link posted by @Bender do look very interesting, hopefully I can find someone with some in stock as they probably bear looking at in the flesh so to speak.

You have designed something in your head only to discover that it doesn't exist . I have found something that would do (no hip or knee armour), its a matter of finding the right search term...

geofferz Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Eh? I used to have armoured buffalo waterproof trousers that you can wear as is or over jeans. Jacket too, no problem. £100 for each item I think. The crotch got a bit damp but they were deffo vaguely waterproof, especially with a top up of nikwax spray.

Can you do this easily without removing your boots? I have trousers as you describe what I would like to be able to do is leave my boots on. I am not so fussed about water proof, if its that wet I will use the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
