advice on these trousers / recommendations please
 

hi, I need to get a pair of protective trousers by next saturday but not sure what to get.

budget £50 max inc P&P...not sure whats about in shops but have seen these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BREATHABLE-COR...d=p3286.c0.m14

any thoughts? views? advice?

Im not expecting top quality obviously at this price but some protection none the less. or is this a false economy?

also....id like to use them for commuting...should i buy a size too big to go over jeans/trousers? or a few sizes too big? any advice welcome....

Thanks

I'm using some Buffalo Cordura cargo style trousers which are OK for the money. They are not exactly 100% waterproof; more like shower proof but they are warm with removable quilted liner and knee armour and only £50 retail. I'm sure you could get some from the bay or somewhere much cheaper.

Dave barkshire motorcycles in Norwich off the shelf mate. I will have a look now to see if i can find them online for you.

Go here mate. They are Buffalo Imola trousers and look a bit like cargo jeans on.

Re: advice on these trousers / recommendations please
 

there are a number of choices it the cordura sum £50 bracket, I myself got a pair something like these although mine are Voto, full CE armour, I get one size up myself, but as they have removable lining you don't have to.

Cheers Mark.

As your only in Bristol pop down to George Whites in Swindon they have loads for sub £50 and you can try them on to ensure they fit :)
