Excellent
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"The best thing about these over trousers is the ease of getting them on..No more balancing and hopping on one leg, trying to get one booted foot through a narrow elasticated trouser bottom. These zip all the way up, or down, making them very easy to get on and off.
So far they seem to perform well in the wet, my only small complaint is that they could have been made a little longer in the leg, so that, when cycling, ones socks don't get wet the the gap between over trouser and shoe/boot.

Fine if your not actually going to use them!!
Cons: Low Quality, Wears Out Easily
"Yes the fit and look is fine but the quality of the item is pretty poor. Me and my friend have just completed LEJOG and both put out faith in DHB for waterproof trousers..... what a mistake.Mine lasted a couple of hours before the seam stitching was starting to open up and eventually ended up tearing up completely. The material and stitching used on the trousers really isn't up to anything but very very gentle usage. My friend had a similar problem with his but the stitching lasted a little longer, that said due to the extra wear his received all of the waterproof taping inside of the trousers on the seams and zips had time to peel off rendering the trousers un-waterproof and therefore also useless after no more than 20hrs of ride time. All in all pretty disappointed in this product!!"

Good value
"These are the first pair of waterproof trousers I've bought. And so far have worked well. They haven't been tested in a real downpour, but in light showers they've been great.
Very easy to get into (zips down both sides) and the shin ankle section folds back via velcro to prevent the trousers getting snagged.
Ideal for my commute.

Are these really suitable for cycling?
Pros: Great Value
Cons: Poor Fit
"I bought these to replace a pair of quite heavyweight waterproof cycling trousers which were wearing out after 5 years of a 6-mile daily commute.
The first thing to say is that the new trousers are much lighter and thinner. Not necessarily a problem (time will tell!) but unlike my previous pair they don't have any flaps to cover my shoes, so the first time I used them they delivered a good deal of the rain directly into my waterproof shoes.
My solution has been to get some waterproof gaiters, which work very well. From my experiences so far I would question whether these are really suitable for wet weather cycling. Having said that, they do seem to be good value. The only oustatnding question is how long they last."

Boil in a bag
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: boil in a bag
"A good value pair of waterproof trousers, relatively comfortable and good at keeping the water at bay. It must be noted however that your legs will probably be just as wet as if you had exposed them to the elements as they are not at all breathable, being lined in some sort of rubbery material. 10 miles in these bad boys and it's like being boiled in a bag.
Otherwise, very happy, good fit, watertight. Would recommend."

Nice Waterproofs
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: Unadjustable, Poor Fit
"I ordered these dhb overtrousers as I have found their clothing to be long in both body and sleeves. I am 6' with a 35.5" inside leg. I was gutted that they were about 31" in the leg and therefore 4.5" too short when standing and would have been even shorter when sitting on the bike. I liked the zip side openings on the legs making getting them on and off very easy. The styling was great with adjustable fitting at the ankle. Although the sizing chart says that the clothing for someone of my height is XL I only have a 32" waist and therefore L I thought would be big enough, it was. Could clothing manufacturers who make trousers please state inside leg length it would be very helpful. Also when cycling when your knee is bent the leg shortens so if your trousers are a bit on the short side this is exacerbated. I also liked these because they weren't bulky. Sad that they had to go back."

Not for anyone with curves!
Cons: Unadjustable, Poor Fit
"The shape of these was definitely not designed with women in mind! I bought based on waist size and got a pair for me and a pair for my husband in the next size up to account for his height. They are cut so straight that any curves you have will make them impossible to pull on - even the larger size which is well above my waist measurement. The elaticated waist isnt very stretchy - not much extra fabric, so hard to pull over hips - infact the only way I could get them on was to unzip sides from the top and rezip once in place. An i didnt dar try and actually so down! Also, for a pair of over trousers these are a very narrow cut. Not much space for much more than lycra underneath. These will be returned :-("

Nicely designed product.
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"Purchase these as a replacement for old waterproof leggings for use on wet commutes.
The leggings are well designed with double ended full length zips that allow you ample room to put them on and take them off over work boots. The zip also allows access to trouser pockets aswell.
They have two lower leg velcro fasteners so you don't get them caught up in the chain as well as reflective trim. They are lightweight and pack down very small.
Wore them yesterday in very fine rain and stayed dry. When I put them on again four hours later they were completely dry.

Several velcro and zip adjustments which makes them easy to get on and more suited to cycling than walking alternatives.
Slightly pricey but beats getting wet!"

use for walking & jogging
Pros: Great Value, Good Fit
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"① There no stress to walk & jog. So this is useful for another sports like hiking & golfing・・・.
② Windstopping is perfect.
③When I sweat, the feel of humidity is not so high.
④ So, the costperformance is high.
④ I want small pockets at side of pants , if it is possible.
⑤ I can reccomend this pants to another person who look for pants ,stopping the wind & rain.

Good value
Pros: Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
"Had for nearly a year.
Easy to get on or off by velcro compared to other trousers.
Keep me warm and dry.
Main improvements would be to reduce sweat inside of fabric - tho' still acceptable bearing in mind the price and the quality of the zips.
