The Downpours are heavy and don’t pack down small, so they’re best- suited for bad weather days when you won’t need to take them off. The leg length is limited to one per size so won’t fit everybody. They’ve got a near full-length leg-zip covered by a storm flap with press studs so you can unzip the legs but keep the storm flap closed, allowing a welcome flow of air when conditions get warm, and this also makes them easy to put on or take off over boots if you need to. A good buy for only £50.
