andybrock Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Anyone got any suggestions for good waterproof trousers? I don’t mean over trousers just a pair that can be worn for shooting, walking or working in and preferably uninsulated (I like to be overly warm) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I think there’s always a balance. Too waterproof and they don’t breathe, making ones balls clammy 😭 You don’t say which season you have a preference to wear them in, but I’d have a look at the Sasta ‘Anton’ trousers for cooler weather or their ‘Kaarna’ for warmer months. Not owned a pair but their ‘Wolf thermo’ Trousers have a Gore-tex mid-liner which supposedly makes them pretty waterproof and breathable all in one. Anton and Kaarna made from mix of recycled polyester and wool with Kevlar around knees, crotch etc. Breathable (for Sir’s knackers) but also water repellant enough for most outings. Wolf thermo are polyester and Gortex. Bit spendy though. https://www.sasta.com/en/products/hunting/product/anton-housut#product=anton-housut https://www.sasta.com/en/products/hunting/product/kaarna-housut#product=kaarna-housut https://www.sasta.com/en/products/hunting/product/wolf-wolf-thermo-housut#product=wolf-wolf-thermo-housut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet flint Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Fjallraven make some excellent trousers. The model name eludes me but have not let me down in 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm after a pair too and the main requirement is that I can adopt the sitting position on a pissing wet day and not get my backside soaked. The old Regatta cheapies have done OK for a few seasons but I will need something for the new shooting season. Will the above recommendations remain waterproof under 'pressure' ? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet flint Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Pressure wise, a mid range up sailing salopette cannot be beaten. It depends how much walking action they are going to get or if you need to be a bit less obvious. Musto offer some good country waterproofs based on their sailing ranges.
