water proofs??

I like kit made from Flexothane, it's reliably waterproof and lasts surprisingly well considering it feels so thin. The previous pair of overtrousers I bought lasted for about 50,000 miles-worth of riding and cost less than £20.

Agreed, i've had my Flexothane over trousers for years now, it's a brilliant material widely used by police and ambulance crews because of it's toughness.
They're ultra lightweight, breathable, they can even stretch a bit, yet the material is very strong and won't tear on you.
I used to use a Flexothane hi-vis jacket years back as well, and apart from being totally wind and waterpoof it would regulate your body heat as well, so whether it was winter or summer you would always be comfortable, and not hot or cold.
