WHISPER OVERPANTS

First impressions are good. Went out in really wet weather and my lower levels remained perfectly dry (which is less than can be said for the upper levels which were being "protected" by another brand of waterproof jacket which leaked like a sieve from brand new. Went out the next day and got a Tahr anorak.). These pants are lightweight and easy to put on/take off, helped by the low zips and poppers. Scuff guard at the bottom is a good touch too. They work as intended and you cannot ask for much more than that. In contrast, I bought another pair of waterproof pants a while ago from another company and they were absolute shite even though they cost more. That company is probably spending more on flashy photoshoots with their pretty boy models and their designer stubble and rufty tufty good looks instead of making quality goods. Anyway, I would recommend these pants. Lightweight, well designed, packable and functional. And no pretty boys in sight. Could possibly be a bit leaner on the price but buy once cry once (instead of buy twice cry twice which is what happened with the jacket).

These have been great, especially as we have just been through the wettest July since - well since forever really.

Good for all applications although I have had to stop wearing them around town due to untoward attention from the ladies.

You can feel the quality immediately. The Kevlar is a good touch.

only have a day on them so far, easy on/off over boots which is nice, seemed very roomy at first through the leg but that helps to not restrict the legs whilst climbing. Would've loved a couple of pockets or at least one to throw a phone in, and they don't tend to stay down over a boot so a lace hook or eyes for an under boot strap would be awesome so you didn't have to wear a gaiter over top would be bloody good.

These are a great over pant. So easy to get on. I had them tucked down my gumboots when I went fishing. They provide that extra protection your after in our freezing cold river beds.
