On the Road Again!

After trying several unlined overtrousers, I decided that maybe a proper pair that would replace the jeans and over trousers might be better in the cooler months. I still have unlined over trousers and carry them with me in the top box. They have a zip out lining and that is out. They were too tight in the leg with it in. 

I'm on my third pair of these. It's taken over four years to get through them though. I've been happy with them over all. The price has crept up over the years and so has P&P from the suppliers. I have bought them all from M&P. The first pair gradually met their maker when they started to leak around the crotch, leaving me a little damp. The second pair were better, didn't leak at all, but a moments attention deficit and I ripped the leg on the rear footrest of the bike. After that they leaked rain even with a large elastic band to help stop them flapping. So three weeks ago I bought another pair. Sadly this pair hasn't lasted very long at all. The zip went on the left leg! No problems when I put them on at work. Both zips are what I call "small teeth" rather than the chunky zips and are very easy to jam with the backing getting caught in them. So I take extra care, so was even more pissed off when I got home and the zip had split ...
