    I need some help...as i commute to and from work..and this shitty weather i need some waterproof bottoms..

    I currently have a pair of bottoms that i can pop on over my jeans etc..but i find them little thick and uncomfortable..and they feel like plastic!

    I wanted something better that is
    Easy to pop over my existing bottoms
    Something light and small in size (something thin)
    I can preferably roll it up and keep it under the rear seat cowl

    So does something exist?

    I was thinking about buying something like this, but more then likely i would think these would only be used for bike trips...

    any good?

    It would be better to have a waterproof all in one. saves getting wet around the middle. less joins the better and more waterproof you should be. I wore HG texttles top and bottom and they did a great job for the 2 years I commuted in all weather

    Your journey was exactly like mine..... i have a set of Deluge over trousers, they are from Blacks camping and are not specifically motorcycle related, they do however have a great feature that they zip all the way to the top of your hip, so putting them on and off is just so easy, have a look on the net at them.
