BerghausMen's Hillwalker Gore-Tex Waterproof Trousers, Durable, Comfortable Rain Pants

So these are not cheap trousers and you would expect them to be good, I did, however manage to get them at a significant discount by way of Amazon warehouse. They were supposedly without tags but seemed totally new to me. Anyway, I have worn them in the rain in a very soggy field and my trousers were still absolutely fine. I haven’t tried walking through brambles, but I will try not to unless I have to! They are a nice weight - not too thin, not too heavy - and the medium fits me perfectly. The only thing I don’t really like are the zips - they are quite small and I find they aren’t the easiest to operate with big wet fingers. I have a Berghaus Gore tex jacket which I bought about 10 years ago. it’s still kind of waterproof, but the hood does leak a bit and whatever I do to it does not seem to reactivate the coating. These trousers though seem to repel water. One thing I would like is a way to get into my trouser pockets or at least have something to put keys, dog poo bags, whatever in, but I guess that’s what the jacket is for. All in all I’m really happy with them I just wish I now had a new jacket to go with them!

Wore these on a very, very wet full day at a music festival. Kept me perfectly dry with excellent breathable properties.

Chose these because Berghaus are a reliable make and they were the only company offering my size. Large waist and short leg. Am delighted with these and have used them regularly.

Good fit and very waterproof.

Light and comfy, the sides have a zip that goes right up. So easy to put on with boots

These are really waterproof trousers, but I reckon at least half the times I use them the zip snags on the lining which is really difficult to sort out. I have had to use them a few times with just the velcro holding them together as its been raining too hard to stop and try sort it. I reckon its only a matter of time before the zip will fail

I found that my old waterproof trousers, while keeping out water, made me hot and sweaty and I still ended up with damp jeans or trousers! So my wife bought me these Berghaus ones for Christmas. They are expensive but we could return then if they were no better. Well, it's now February: I have worn them in a variety of situations and have to say that they are excellent! They are warm (night time astronomy when the sky is clear but the temperature drops to around freezing), waterproof (when walking the dog in a downpour), windproof (dog walking in a howling storm) and breathable. No more sweaty trousers underneath! They have zips and poppers to allow them to be put on or taken off while wearing boots and to enable access to a trouser pocket. All in all they are exceptional performers - I guess you get what you pay for.

Very sturdy and completely waterproof. Compact and easy enough to carry just in case. Nice being able to walk home without getting soaked. No pocket access steals a star from comfort
