Default overtrousers

i am looking for a pair of overtrousers ( started my xmas list ) lol.

anyways i have been searching for some possibilities to make a list to chose from, but i have not been able to find sizes , just small - XXL.
i am needing something which is 44" waist.
was looking at the Wychwood truefly. but a site i found shows there only up to 40". oh yeah inside leg is 38" if thats of help lol.

price will have to be under £70.

Head to the nearest Blacks, Tiso's or other outdoor shop and they'll sort you out. Buy some good quality, waterproof hiking gear - don't pay silly prices for "fishing" trousers

they crappy waterproofs that cause you to get more wet with sweat had they kind in the past lol.

so far fishing trousers have been cheaper than hiking gear i found in my size lol. hey could be worse i could be asking for waiding boots in size 14. but i wont be doing any waiding so i dont need to worry about that pmsl.

airflo ones look good and right sort of price. if they have me size they will go on the list. as i am just making a list up and will give it to my mum so she knows what choice she has to pick from for me.

why buy things my self when i can just give a list for family to pick from pmsl.
that way i know it wont be the cheapest of cheap.
even though airflo has its downsides according to some of the members on here.

cheers zoomer

Army & Navy Stores. I have a pair of brand new Goretex German Army bib & brace ones. Cost about £30 brand new, excellent.
This type of thing.

Ones I have are not lined but shows you what is available out there at no great cost.
