Berghaus Paclite Gortex, lightweight, pack down to the size of an orange (size dependant obvs) and waterproof. Not sure on price vs carp equivalent tho.

Army goretex MTP waterproofs, lightweight and100% fully waterproof and windproof and breathable. Great as an outer layer in winter as they make a massive difference blocking the wind chill.

I like the look at them but are they sure with regards the inside leg measurements?

Medium: Waist 34"-36, Inside Leg 30"??

XXXL @ 50"-52" Inside Leg 32"?

I'm a 33" inside leg at the best of times but I don't want to wear a belt for waterproofs lol

I have a pair of the airflex version in medium which do measure 30" inside leg but because they are over trousers they done fit the same as jeans etc.

Im tall and slim and usually buy jeans with inside leg of 33-34" inside leg and the above over trousers fit me

Thanks Dave, good to know.
Just didn't make any sense to me.

So you think the medium would be the one for me as I am usually around those sizes waist wise. (pre xmas anyway )

Korda Drykore are actually rather good IMO. . .v light / stretchy / comfy . . . . no pockets but have access zips to allow you to access your inner garment pockets / scratch your nuts at leisure

The waist is very elasticated on them If you are around a 34" waist i would go for the large i have a skinny waist of 30" and the medium fit me very well over my jeans
