About this deal

It’s a brutal event where runners are expected to cover the entire length of the Pennine Way, non-stop and right in the dead of winter.

One thing to mention is that there are three integrated pockets on the Marmots – one at each side, and one on the rear. In fact, we took it out to the Accursed Mountains of Albania where its protection, breathability and overall functionality were all noted. You know, those ones that made you wetter than the rain itself from the condensation build up; the ones that were shaped so poorly your stride could only reach about a foot; the ones that had a gaping hole on the thigh after they were once slightly nicked by a bramble bush.

If you just want a pair of waterproof walking trousers without the faff of putting on overtrousers then there are a range of options available. The trousers are very generous with pockets, having five in total, and all are protected by storm flaps.

The 35cm side zips are covered by a storm flap on each side and there is no cinching at the bottom of each leg – when they’re on you can barely tell that you’re not just wearing a pair of black walking trousers. This is not generally our preference for walking as these trousers are often thicker material which can get hot if you’re wearing them all day and it doesn’t rain.It should be said that the waterproofing is achieved via a waxed outer coating, and you will need to take care of that layer over time to keep it fresh. We also really liked the long zips down the legs as they make getting these off and on over a pair of boots a breeze and they double as vents as well. You may expect that because the fabric is only a singleTeflon-coated waterproof layer that the trousers would compact down well.

Bear in mind that the fit of the Ventus is quite slim in terms of waist size although there is elastic which allows some expansion and adjustability. Apart from the disappointment of not seeing them strolling along by themselves, the Sprayway Walking Rainpants are an excellent budget offering even without the full 3 layer membrane technology. For mountain/alpine hiking etc in snow or rain though they can be invaluable, especially with ruggedized knee and seat areas for kneeling/sitting.Another nice design touch is a small hook included at the lower end of each leg which can attach to the laces of your walking boots in a similar way to gaiters. The fit is good and there are a range of large pockets which are all zipped and taped to be fully waterproof – you feel like a commando putting these on! The overtrousers got caught on a bramble and I heard that awful scrape noise that puts the fear into anyone who hears it. The trousers are also bluesign approved, employing organic dyes and a PFC-free DWR Teflon EcoElite treatment derived from renewable resources. For this round up of the best waterproof trousers we’ve picked out everything from great value 2-layer overtrousers to durable, high spec, 3-layer options with brilliant breathability – and a few interesting alternative options in-between.
