There is a zip on the back that comes up about haly way up the calf

The zip comes almost up to the knee - very easy. It doesn't affect the velcro adjusters, either, so your trousers won't catch in the chain after putting them on.

Hi,

Opening comes up to just under the knee and opens fully , i.e. not gusseted.
I wear shimanos MTB winter wellys and can almost get them on over thes without opening the zips.

2 Velcro tabs on each leg also reduce bulk once zipped in to avoid chain snags.

I love them.

It comes up to the top of the calf.... about 30cm. Easily fits a shoe, though I have to sit down to pull them over my feet - I wear steel toe-capped work shoes, so very bulky, but no problems

yes, they have a long zip at the back of the leg and velcro fastening. The legs are also width adjustable at the ankle.

Yeah, never a problem, there's a zip and velcro leg opening at the heal the provides amble room. The ankle adjustment is separate so this stays adjusted, nice touch

The opening on these comes up about three quarters of the way up my calf. If you undo the zips, you should be able to get them on with boots without any problems at all.

There actually are zippers going up to the knee, but i would not recommend putting them on with boots or any other shoes on, the risk of ruining the fabric is too great.

There is no rule saying you cant wear these over suit trousers I wear cycling trouses to stop wrecking my work/suit trousers. Though they will keep you dry

You could easily wear these over normal trousers, but if you're riding any distance, I'd opt for a good base layer.

I wear these trouesers over jeans each day for cycling to work and do not have any problems and arrive to work clean and dry.

no problem

I normally wear them over cycling apparel though tried them on over a pair of jeans which was fine. You can adjust the velcro at the bottom of the pants to keep the cuffs away from the chain quite easily

I have been using them as overtrousers and they are fine, but they may not be breathable enough for you. I found that the fit was fairly generous and I wear them over my casual trousers fine. They are adjustable, especially around the cuffs and will certainly keep the road splatter etc off your clothes. I have started leaving my trousers at work and putting on tights or long johns under them, but its winter here and I have a 10km country road commute.

The waist is elasticated and can be brought in easily and the way the legs are exteneded is there are press studs on the inside and they can go down about 2 inches it insnt much so a large might be good for you.

The bottom of the leg is turned up inside and there are press studs on the bottom of the legs that click into two different positions. The third length is with no turn up. I guess the variation in length is at least 100 mm. The last 100 mm is not zipped but as it is at the back of the leg it does not really matter.

Personally, I'd wear a base layer, especially to prevent rubbing at the knees.

Only used with long tights so never tried with nothing underneath.

I assume so - I use the spray on the jacket & it works really well. Not so impressed by the Nik-Wax sachets for the washing machine. Same material as the jacket.

I'm a 36 waist and 31 inside leg and got a XXL. Thought it was going to be WAY too big - fits perfectly. Recommend XL, should be fine.

Hi i've got a 36"- 38" waist (depending how much cycling i'm doing) and extra large seems to fit well. the legs are ajustable in lenth so shouldn't be a problem.

These will keep you dry for as long as you want
