Do you wear these over thermals or pants already or are they a pants in themselves? 

Asked by: Northland28
We would recommend wearing thermals/pants underneath these - much like you could technically wear a rain jacket with nothing underneath, you could wear these without thermals/pants it just wouldn't be very comfy!

Would these be good whilst raining when taking part in a 200 mile event

Asked by: Bigs
These pants would be great in long distance events and are on the recommended gear list for the Kathmandu Coast to Coast. The GORE-TEX PacLite Plus fabric is strong, waterproof, breathable, very light & pack-able.

Are the pants durable enough to withstand scrapes and grazes from fallen trees and branches and prickly bushes whilst keeping me dry and warm?

Asked by: Don365
The outer material is lightweight yet strong, and the GORE-TEX® PacLite® Plus membrane means they're waterproof and windproof. We'd definitely suggest avoiding abrasion though, as this could ultimately lead to the pants becoming damaged.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tested in blustery rain I walked a 12km trail this afternoon wearing these rain pants over LoweApline Stormweave. BOM Radar gave me a heads-up that it was going to be wet and windy - it was. Arrived home 3hrs later with no seeping or moisture at all - unlike the Arc'teryx Beta SL Hybrid jacket. Well done Katmandu -

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Aysen Mens wet weather pants I recently bought these pants to replace an old pair of wet weather pants which were old). I ride a motorbike and these pants have been brilliant at keeping me dry. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top quality wet weather pair of trousers. (and the zips work great).
