Berghaus Deluge Waterproof Overtrousers (Short)

These will be the 3rd pair I have bought, I use one pair on my motorbike, they are completely waterproof & easy to put on over boots, the only reason I needed another pair is that the last pair got burnt on the exhaust

Light and very waterproof. Everything you’d expect from this quality brand. As new - not sure how it’ll wear but expect - very well!

Does the job, well made, waterproof and breathable.
Could be a slightly better fit as they are very baggy around the crotch area and more adjustment on ankles could also be better, but overall they are a good waterproof pant ????

Used to climb snowden in November with snow and hailstones done excellent job/ air vents to sides

After leaving a glowing report for these trousers on 14th October 2017 I am now sorry to say that has changed. Went out on 20th Oct.'17 for a short 6 miler with some friends. It was raining but not excessively. Returned to the car and removed the waterproofs for the drive home. My trousers underneath were wet on both thighs and a little on the calfs. I drove home changed into dry pants and returned to the store. Kudos to the staff at the Warrington store as they were very helpfull. I decided to do what I should have done in the first place and exchanged them plus another £45 for a pair of Berghaus Gore Tex over trousers with the same long zip system which I find great for when you are getting them on and off. Fingers crossed.

I first used these over trousers on a walk with heavy rain for five hours.The long zips let you put them on easily even over walking boots and allow for good ventilation while still keeping the rain out. Stayed dry all walk, no over heating due to the ventilation All you need from waterproof kit.

Great trousers-do exactly what I need them to! Fantastic in-store service too.

I've been using these for a number of years now and they do exactly what the claim, keep you dry and the full side zips help prevent condensation and make getting them on over your boots a breeze.

There's simply nothing else that compares at this price, having the zips up and the buttons fastened still protects in all but heavy rain and makes the trouser very breathable.

I am now well into my 3rd year of using these trousers and to date I am 100% satisfied. For max protection I use them over waterproof gaiters so there is no chance of the trousers riding up over the ankles of my boots so letting all the water drain down into them (once bitten etc). The long length of the leg zips ensured perfect venting and work well even with either a Berghaus Cornice (Long) jacket or an ex military camo Goretex jacket when I am fishing. For cleaning from mud and crud I use the garden hose followed by 2 soap free rinse and spin cycles on the washing machine and then drip dry. Interestingly, (or not depending on your take on these things) after a good blast with the hose on both needle jet and spray, the insides were as dry as the proverbial bone! 10/10 Berghaus, If only your own brand boots were of the same quality and durability but that's another tale for another day.

Bought the berghus waterproof pants an was not disappointed its a good quality build and a good fit tested it out on a 3 Mile hike in the pouring Irish weather with a high wind top marks for waterproof ness and comfort I am a 33- 34 waist 28 long so the medium size fitted perfect I wore a pair of berghus gore tex boots underneath so got home dry so overall a good deal was got on gooutdoors boots and pants for a great price and delivered to the door in 4 days great seeing I'm in Ireland would highly recommend to all

After 6months of heavy usage, even with dwr proofing, they are now starting to let in water. A great product just wished, they'd last longer.

Very well made, excellent quality, just the job for Pembrokeshire sideways liquid sunshine. I just wish that they had an exterior pocket.

Great Trousers
I recently walked up CairnGorm it lashed it down at the top but the Trousers kept me nice and dry. Highly recommended

Great bit of kit for the great British weather easy to put on over walking boots 100% recommended

They do the job very well. Comfortable, keeping you dry without that sweaty, clammy feeling found with some waterproof trousers.
Good zip system too. Excellent value for money.

I had to buy a second pair of these as the pair that keep me dry while cycling were slightly too long to go walking in - cheap tailored over-trousers anyone? Have been almost totally satisfied with these excellent trousers.

Pros: price; poppered storm flaps over the zips; 3/4 length leg zips for easy on/off and venting; very reliable waterproofing.

Cons: a little bulkier than I'd ideally like; I tried on a pair in a shop and found one of the poppers on the storm flap was badly fitted and interfered with the zip operation; when cycling the bend in your knee forms a channel that allows water to run under the storm flap wetting your leg.
