These are top notch. I've had the Berghaus Paclite Goretex Jacket for about 5 years now and it's been superb so when I saw these trousers on offer recently I decided to get the matching set. I'm glad I did as, once again, the build quality is great and I know that the material and waterproofness will last for years, which only happens with the high level, more expensive waterproof clothing. Cheap waterproof overtrousers have always proved a waste of money in the long run for me; they only last for a few months at best and then even if you retreat them they wear out quickly and become soggy and unusable. So I've learned not to scrimp when it comes to waterproof clothing - buy once and buy the good ones.The sizing was fine for me.They have quite a generous waist - designed to go comfortably over your other trousers - and the elastic stretches very well so you shouldn't need too big a waist size. On the other hand, if they do come up slightly too big around the waist then the elastic compensates for that and they end up snug. The leg zips run 3/4 of the way up which is great when putting the trousers on without taking your boots off, which you are highly likely to need to do at some point. I only wish these had pockets, which is quite important to me, but I've decided not to deduct a star because I can make do and the most important thing is the quality and the price. Probably pockets would complicate the waterproofing and push the price up too much that it wouldn't be worth it.One tip that I feel I should share; with thin, lightweight Goretex products like this (and this probably applies to eVent and other waterproof/breathable membrane fabrics too), when you fold them for storage try not to always fold them in the same way, along the same crease lines, as this will wear out the membrane over time in those certain places and then it won't be waterproof anymore. This is especially important when storing and transporting them in a small stuff sac, like the one provided with these trousers - we fold them up nice and small to fit them in the stuff sac and in doing so we tend to always fold it the same way, remembering how we squeezed them in there before. Try to vary the folds slightly, that's all... and then they'll last much longer. Buy once, buy the best, and then look after 'em for the rest of your life!

I got this to do the "Southern Upland Way" in March 2020. They did great.Pros:- They truly are waterproof ('Scottish mountains in March waterproof').- They breath alright if used alone (with no other trousers) or if it's cold-ish.- Zipper is 75% of leg length, of best quality (great waterproof sealing). Perfect to put trousers on and off and to allow air in/out.- Trousers can be used with zippers 'open' all the way thanks to a button on the middle, near the knees.- They weight 231g (size L) including the carrying 'net' pouch. You'll find lighter pants out there, but not sure how durable/waterproof in comparison. These are a great compromise performance/weight ratio.- They pack to a quite small size and it's quite easy to do so (and store them in their carrying pouch)once you know how to do it.- They are easy to put on and off wearing large Lowa Camino GTX boots.- Elastic waist band: great when you lose weight on your thru-hike.Cons:- At this price? None. At any price? l'd like to see them on a diet getting to 120g total weight (including net).I strongly recommend them. Just keep in mind the weight if you're a thru-hiker (or trail runner?).

These waterproof trousers were ordered for my father and recommend by myself as I've owned a pair for a number of years.Most if not all waterproof trousers make you sweat, therefore the trousers you have on underneath your waterproofing are usually wetter than they would be if you weren't wearing any waterproofs. Not with these, they are highly breathable. They can be zipped open all the way on both legs but I haven't found a need for this. I've been mountaineering in them many times and even worn them over my thick textile motorbike trousers when on a tour of Scotland. I comfortably rode and stayed dry all day long. I have used them on the bike in heavy rain for long periods and haven't come across any leaks apart from where the berghaus logo is on the knee.There was a slight leak there but nothing major at all. I don't think this would be an issue with general use but on the bike my knees are bent and driving into the rain for long periods of time. I would highly recommend these to anyone, they can be expensive but I believe in the fact that you get what you pay for.

Nicely designed, top quality materials and 100% waterproof, due to the goretex membrane. I purchased the 31-33" waist and short length, being 5'7 approximately in height, and slim to medium build, they are a perfect fit, and have an elasticated waist, as well as zips at the thigh, and zips at the lower leg, for ventilation and to allow one to put them on easily, however I do try when possible to take off my footwear, when slipping these on, as they're very light, and I don't want to risk damaging them with my shoes. Awesome waterproof trousers, glad I purchased, they make a world of difference during the wetter days and months in the UK's ever changing climate! No more dripping rain soaking my trousers!!I'm really delighted with these, due to the comfort factor alone, I think they're pretty stylish, but not keen on the "Berghaus" logo on right leg, maybe a little overkill, as one logo on left leg says "Goretex", and I would prefer just the one logo but it's a minor gripe, due to their practicality for outdoor use in whatever the weather can throw at you!

Cool, comfortable, extremely lightweight, totally waterproof. No excuse for not carrying these in your backpack. Coupled with a Berghaus Paclite jacket (bought 2 years ago) an ideal set of lightweight waterproofs. You will need warm clothing underneath in the winter as Paclite is just a breathable, waterproof shell. My perspective is that Paclite is not meant to be heavy duty I.e. It's not a 3 layer Goretex. So not really for rock climbing and scrambling in my opinion. No pockets in these trousers, so not ideal for golf. Watch the size. I bought medium length but these were short at 31inch inside leg. The leg length in inches was not shown on the product details. I exchanged them (having to pay postage)for a long pair (34.5 inches inside leg when measured). Better buy long then short so they remain in contact with your shoe when the knee is bent whilst walking up a steep hill. The bottoms can be made narrower with a press stud to make sure they don't catch under the heel. Really nice product.

As mentioned by other reviewers, these seem to be a good product. I am 5'10" with a 36 inch waist and a 30/31 inside leg. I ordered the "Large Regular" size. After unwrapping and holding them up, I thought they would not fit - however after putting them on over jeans, the fit was "snug" - I would have liked another inch or so as the waist elastic was stretched about 70%, definitely will not need the draw-cord. However, a quick test walk around, sitting, standing etc. and found them to be very comfortable. I think they could have been a little more generous but I am happy with the fit.The legs have press fasteners about knee level and ankle. The zip opens from the ankle all the way up to the vent (pocket level)which is very useful if you have bulky clothes underneath and certainly assists getting them on over boots. Not the cheapest you can buy from Amazon, but the quality, look and feel makes paying the extra worthwhile (I hope). Time will tell . . . .

Paclite is super light. These just weigh a couple of hundred grams. As a hill walker they don't add much weight to my pack.This is the second pair I've bought, the first I have been using for a few years now and they are still OK. The second pair is so I don't have to borrow the pair from my hill walking pack (as I might forget one day to stick em back and subsequently just when I really need em....).If I am just out for a wee walk or down the town and I think it might rain, well they pack down easily into the tiny wee bag that comes with them which fits easily into a standard jacket pocket.I've seen various size guides for Berghaus trousers and they all different. I ordered large/regular.That translates into a 34 inch waist and 31 inch leg - just what I was looking for.Bear in mind they are light weight, they certainly not industrial. Plenty tough enougth for general lesuire use.In short excellant lightweight waterproof lesuire overtrousers.

I bought these due to frustration caused by getting soaked trousers when going out for lunch! I have Gortex jackets and umbrellas but there is nothing worse than spending the afternoon sitting in an office with soaking wet woolen trousers. An all too common occurence with our current weather!These trousers serve their intended purpose admirably. Lightweight, waterproof, even in howling gales. I have already had to use them a number of times and am so glad I decided to buy them.I did look in the one remaining highstreet retailer but their trousers (same brand, model etc) were 33% more expensive. Their website says they will price match but.......Who can be bothered negotiating when they are directly available from Amazon for a better price.They pack away sufficiently small to be carried in a bag or glovebox so can be always available.Great product, worth the extra cost compared to cheaper 'shower-proof' products. Would happily recommend

I've waited a while to review these to give them a proper test. In short they've stood up to the recent UK weather extremely well. I was expecting the paclite material to be solid and unspectacular, and to stand up to general showers but not persistent downpours. However, they've taken everything that has been thrown at them recently and I have been impressed with their waterproofness. They're a simple design so minimal openings (which also means minimal ways for water to ingress) but they do have 3/4 zips for easy on/off. The sizing is a bit odd - I went for the M as I was concerned the S would be too small (I'm generally a 31" waist), and they are a little baggy. I'd have probably been better off with the S,but at least the M go on over other layers very easily. In short, for the price that I paid they are an excellent lightweight, packable overtrouser

Having had many pairs of over trousers for work and leisure over the years I was especially pleased with the design, quality and price of this product. The long boot zip and venting zips are spot on for functionality and the fit I chose for my waist size of 34" leaves enough room for comfort without acting like a windsock. The material is way lighter than I have used in the past so it may show signs of wear eventually but they are not something you normally put on every time you head for the lonely places so I do not anticipate them falling to bits anytime soon. Replacement is usually because of rips on barbed wire and sharp stones which all my previous waterproofs have suffered from but thats my fault.The stow bag is a nice little addition and is surprisingly useful. These are great waterproof over trousers and especially for the price.

I've taken these out for its first extended test today - 7 hours of unremitting heavy rain walking and on a bike, and they've worked a treat, without much clamminess like you get with cheaper waterproofs. The fit was good for me - 1m89, with a 34 inch waist and a 34 inch inside leg. I'd been worried about this, as another review said they were a bit short for wear on a bike, but fine for me. They are a wee tad noisy, but from experience with other Gore-Tex stuff that diminishes after the first few wears. They're pretty light and almost fold down into the little pouch you get for carrying them round in...well, almost! All in all I'm very happy. A zip pocket would have been nice though.Expensive?Yes, but Gore-tex stuff always is, and there's a reason for that - it's bloody good.

nice trousers but beware when sizing!! i wanted 32 waist 31 inside leg so ordered medium regular, they arrived and are tight on the waist (just acceptable, put it this way i will never have to use the adjusting cord). The attached label for the size is also confusing since when did 68 cm equate to 32 inches(waist) or 31 inches equate to 106 cm (inside leg). it would be useful if the sizing drop list gave some indication as to the actual size of the trousers in inches or centimeters( if they could cross reference accurately it would be less confusing) rather than just stating, medium regular, medium large etc etc..I had to rely on customer reviews to enable me to stand half a chance of getting an accurate fit,well almost!!!

Good one. Haven't tested it yet under rain. Still. I usually wear Columbia and Marmot pants with waist size of 36''. These overpants in XL fitted allright with some extra space. Just a bit bulkier than I expected. For instance, I tried Marmot Essence. They fitted more tightly, yet comfy in size L. But I preferred Berghaus as it has full-length zippers unlike Marmot. As for the length, I selected a longer version for my height of 187 cm. It is perfect lengthwise. Marmot Essence pants pack down into their own pocket. Berghaus add small mesh bag which is not connected to the pants and is easier to loose. It would be nice if Berghaus could add at least one side or back pocket for this purpose.

I bought a medium and large 33" to try to get the waist right, and I sent back the large. I'm 6'2" and 14st (90kg) for reference. I was replacing my last pair of berghaus gore-tex trousers which I left on the train, so I generally knew what I wanted. The pack lite is a new material for me, and at first I was skeptical given how thin it was compared to my last pair, but I'm very impressed. One of the key things for me was that the trousers shouldn't be too baggy/flappy and can maintain shape while getting battered on a mountain. So far so good, they wear like a pair of trousers and while they're less insulated than my last they've proved brilliant in all conditions and I can't fault them.

I ride a motorbike as part of my job and I have worn a variety of wet weather gear over the years. I was impressed with the price first as I did a lot of searching for gortex trousers. When I received the trousers I was impressed with the quality and fit. I try not to wear wet weather gear all day as it makes you sweat like mad. On the odd occasion I have had to the gortex has lived up to its name by letting me breath without finishing up wet with sweat like from heap plastic rain pants. The zips on the legs I found to be waterproov and are handy to get to my leg pockets of my pants underneath. Most impressed and have recommended it to my work mates.Ed Robinson West Australia.
