With the amount of walking that my family does out with the dogs, I decided to buy everyone in the family a pair of these Berghaus waterproof over trousers. We do have a few Berghaus products already, and have readily experienced the quality and performance of their outdoor clothing ranges - see my separate Dooyoo reviews for their Cornice IA Jacket, Activity IA Fleece, Neck Gaiter and Spectrum Gloves. Having had excellent service from all of these items, it sort of made sense to stick with the brand for proven reliability. So what do we get that makes these Berghaus Deluge Over Trousers so special? Well, where do you start? The fabric is Berghaus's own AQ ...  Read the complete review

I used to hate the rain. Simple as that. I would avoid getting wet at all costs, even if it meant running through it to get out of it. Doesn't make sense does it- surely, you getter wetter that way? If I was one, I'd have been a Peter Kay dinner lady. You know "It's spitting, get em in!" type of person. Well, not any more. "Bring it on!" is my new catch phrase, since buying my Berghaus Deluge waterproof overtrousers. I now hope that it rains so that I can laugh in the face of the torrent! And I deliberately choose places where it's going to rain - a lot! Borrowdale, the wettest place in Britain, is my favourite spot on ...  Read the complete review

With the absolutely horrible summer we are having a pair of over trousers are a real must for anybody who is considering on doing some walking or hiking at the minute. I only recently bought some as I had not originally planned on getting some until winter but due to the constant rain I decided it would be prudent to invest in a pair a little earlier than originally planned. I bought myself a pair of Berghaus Deluge trousers because as far as I am concerned Berghaus is the crème de la crème of outdoor walking clothing. I got them from an outdoor clothing store and they cost me £40 which I consider money well spent. A bit of rain doesn't bother me in the ...  Read the complete review

I have most outdoor gear but realised on one climb that a poncho gets in the way and is not great at keeping the rain out when you are needing to use your arms and lift the poncho. Rain inevitably gets in down the sides, neither foolishly did I have any waterproof trousers, just a pair of solar dry craghoppers, which as good as they are are great for climbs on sunny days, slight shower and the sun comes back out and you get warm, however if your start a summit climb at midnight as I do then you wont see any sun for around 6 hrs which is a long time to wait to get dry if it starts snowing/ raingin which it did 18000 ft up kilamanjaro ! when looking at ...  Read the complete review

I bought these from Go Outdoors at a reduced price of £19.99, however even if I had paid the full price these trousers would have been worth it. I used these for a winter walking course in Scotland, in February last year when there had been severe snowstorms, and for a significant part of each day I was up to at least my thighs in snow! I never once got my undertrousers wet or damp, even though I was near constantly in contact with the snow. They also helped to keep me warm and were extremely flexible, so even when clambering over particularly challenging ground I never felt uncomfortable. The real test of these trousers was during our ice axe ...  Read the complete review
