Richa 'monsoon'. I've been out in mine in torrential rain, and they are as dry as a bone and snuggly warm
About £89 IIRC

Teknics Sprint if you can find 'em, they might be slightly above your price, they were £99 when I got mine. They were really decent, came with proper knox armour, and were as waterproof as anything I've ever owner that didn't have a goretex label on it. Then I destroyed them, but they still stood up OK, only a 40mph or so slide but they didn't hole anywhere, armour stayed in place, no stiches burst or even drew. Very good.

Spada Podium £89.99.

I'd go for HG as good as you can afford. I've got goretex (journey I think) got them on a good deal for around £129 IIRC. I wear them everyday without the lining as I usually wear jeans under them on my way to uni. Been out in -6 and not fell cold, and that's without the lining. Never been wet underneath either, and they've had their fair share of rain.

Goretex is the way of the wise really I love my goretex rukkas, I'm always slightly surprised when I don't get wet, but I never do. Shame they cost as much as a small car really

I've got the expensive Hein Gericke ones, which are just fabulous. The Spada stuff did really really well in the Ride tests - my friend has some and they've kept him dry through heavy rain, and they aren't too dear either. Well worth a look.

I got some £120 ones from HG, very pleased with them, never leaked and warm.,

You're best going to HG and J&S and trying a load on. They're all different sizes and fits so its impossibly to know without trying them on, especially if your not an average height.

A mate got some Frank Thomas ones which started to leak, but he took them back for an instant swap.

Why not get a cheap pair of padded water proof over trousers, and wear them over your jeans? I got a pair for £15 from an outdoor shop. They offer zero impact or abraision resistance, but they are really warm and you'll have your draggin jeans underneath for protection.
