Wateproof trousers do they exist, recommendations

[powerstans]

I have a pair of Revit over trousers which are supposed to be water resistant and a pair of Oxford rain over trousers. Yesterday in heavy rain but on a 10 minute run to the office I ended up with a damp arse and crotch.
This has happened virtually every time it rains!

What trousers do I need to be at least partially dry on a 10 to 15 minute commute?

I know £1000+.Rukka Gortex would probably fit the bill but I am not looking at touring just the commute.

I am Bristol based so Fowlers have their Weise range and some Alpine Star on offer but am I going to end up with the same issue.

Commute bike is a 2008 DL V Strom 1000, so some weather protection!

I've been caught in a couple of downpours and remained dry.

If you’re looking for over trousers, the best imo and I’ve tried lots are ones made by Scott

I’ve ridden in hours of torrential rain with these and matching jacket and they are amazing, had richa, Alpinestars, dainese which all leaked

I use these for commuting...

Absolutely bone dry in any weather.

I have an early version of these and have been using them consistently the last 8 years, never got wet yet ...

Richa Rainwarrior jacket & trousers. Brilliant and very dry. Bought after struggling into a Richa one-piece (getting too old for those contortions!!). One piece is best but the two-piece works well. And very good price from Helmet City in West Bay (good excuse for a Sunday blast to the coast....)

I use either:

- pair of goretex walking over trousers i then wear over my leathers or.......

- a pair of boating over trousers.

out the two options, the second one is least glamourous but the only one that has ever kept me 100% bone dry

I've tried umpteen combinations over the years. Hein Gericke overtrousers were pretty good, but in a downpour you still got a wet crotch.

Bought a pair of 'Goretex' (supposedly) overtrousers from an ebay surplus supplier that appear to be from the Royal Mail! But they've kept me done dry since (textile Aplinestars underneath which have some water resistance).

They only cost about 12 quid if I remember rightly?

Cheers for the suggestions, I will take a look around at the weekend.

I used to be building site based a lot and think I still have some of those lovely yellow over trousers with added scotch bright at the ankles in the back of the cupboard, I may give these ago as well!

they work as well; the motorcycle instructors at my school raved about ones we got given from an AA guy who passed with us.
