A big thumbs up for army goretex trousers especially if you can get them unissued i.e brand new.Started using them in the late 90's for serious trail riding.Back then the Dutch army issue were the ones to have as the legs were a decent length so with some gaffa tape round the ankles to seal the bottoms you were good for river crossings and whatever else the forests had to throw at you.I'm using German goretex at present, with as has been said the long side zips so you can easily and quickly get them over the biggest boots.Don't care what I look like as long as I'm dry.
