That's why you need to go to a shop I'd say It does suggest they are overtrosuers, but not sure what else would be waterproof?

 

[jim55]

iv seen some that say they are ,craghoppers i think ,kinda stretchy and say theyr waterproff (im not expecting them to be as good as they say but a wee but of shower resistance would b good

You need an outdoor shop, look for hiking trousers.
Or TkMax if you are on a budged

I use the Craghoppers Kiwi stretch pro for occasional short rides when I don't want to look like a cyclist.
Light, comfortable, quick drying.
Shop around for better prices though.

I dont know if its just me but i can see how anyone can wear trousers when riding let alone waterproof ones.

Debenhams quite often have deals on Craghoppers (or my local one does)

Maybe people wear trousers as they find them comfortable and don't feel the need to be a lycra clad blur. I wear cropped trousers over padded shorts when going to work in the summer, saves me carrying the trousers
