Picked up a pair of thermally lined craghoppers from Amazon and I'm a bit disappointed in them really. Thin outer and inner, don't feel like quality at all. Certainly not hard wearing. In terms of keeping me warm, a pair of jeans would probably be better. They are meant to be water resistant, but they felt far from it.
Can you guys recommend any decent and warm combats/ trousers?

I found the Craghopper winter lined trousers to be excellent. Everyone raves about them on here. They've outlasted the North Face equivalent that I had already.
If you want proper thermal you're better off going for salopettes mate. When it gets cold I'll ditch the Craghoppers for the Snugpak salopettes - but they're not waterpoof.
I believe ESP do a decent waterproof set.

Hmm, maybe I should give them a go then. They just don't feel hard wearing at all and very thin.

I got some lined work trouser from lidl last year and it needs to be nearly freezing before you can wear them otherwise you just sweat like nothing on earth.
Warm is not the word !!!

I'd agree with that. I've had two pairs, lovely and warm as stated but they aren't a particularly good fit and the material is very cheap, pockets and a zip have broken on both my pairs and they don't get worn all that often.
They are not expensive and you are getting what they are worth, nothing more.

Doesn't cover wear and tear though.
How have you found them in the rain?

mine are definitely not any good for rain at all ! I have waterproof over trousers for wet weather that go over the top
but no need for long johns to keep warm
I bought my first pair around 10 years ago and I have never had any problems with zips or pockets or anything
in really extreme cold and wet I wear the Prologic Comfort Thermo Suit over the top and have been in France in minus 16c without being cold
