I use hien gerrick. Two year guarantee of some waterproofs and 5 years on the voyager range. I've currently got the maxwell trouser and so far they are waterproof and breathable. So much better than my frank tomas ones.

i have a pair of alpinestars drystar pants. wore them touring in monsoon type rain, snow etc and was dry and warm always.

It is useful to get trousers that can be washed and tumble dried.
Rukka ones can - in fact it keeps them in good condition. I have some and they are great.

I also have some Ducati/Dainese ones that are lovely and warm and waterproof but cannot be put in washing machine or tumble drier - USELESS!

Get RUKKA! They also cater for "ample" waists and shorter leg lengths.

It absolutely hosed it down this morning. My Rukka gear laughed and said "Is that all you've got! I am impervious in watery ingress and will not soil my rider with ugly damp patches..."

Massively expensive, massively worth it.

Whats wrong with a nice pair of Farrahs?

I've got a Rukka jacket, but found the strides to be a bit baggy.

Instead, i bought some IXS goretex/cordura/thermal removable linings/waterproof/windproof(!) etc etc.

'does the same job for about half the price ( about £150 from one of the shows, from memory) and they are a good fit.

Somehow, with a 42 inch waist and a 31 inch inside leg, I don't think YMFB will have thesame problem

Also, RACER products, which can be washed, they're waterproof and have all sizes and different leg lengths, go onto www.racer.at for your nearest stockist. the type in question are called Adventure Trousers..

very comfy
