My aged overtrousers are dying. After about 15 years, that's reasonable. They've spent most their time strapped on top of a saddlebag, but have remained waterproof enough for touring and long commutes where wet trousers are not an option.
Replacement is proving very difficult. The old ones were not expensive. Nevertheless they weigh 175g, pack into small space, are reasonably breathable, and, until recently, have been waterproof without help from Nikwax. They have elasticated ankle cuffs which fit without any extra straps. That's my basic spec.
I've tried several bike shops in the area, which has been frustrating. It's hard to find anything other than Altura/Endura. Gore Bike paclite comes closer to my spec., but I don't see why I should pay 75% more than I did for my Rohan paclite walking overtrousers with full-length side zips (heavy, but not cheaper) for something inferior to my antiquated kit.
Any suggestions? I have, and use, various alternatives already, e.g. get wet, rainlegs & waterproof shorts.
First choice would be a bike shop within reasonable cycling range - say 20 miles. I'm between medium & large sizes, and would choose a ride to a bike shop rather than the hassle of sending internet purchase back, with no guarantee that the alternative fitted any better. But I'll buy from Internet if it suits.
