Hello everyone,

Hope your all well. Can anyone recommend some decent water resistant trousers? I want them to be comfortable but look professional aswell.

Im currently wearing tracksuit trousers which are reall comfortable but get soaked when WFP'ing and look unprofessional.

Cheers,

Caleb

CragHoppers - Solardry for me about £35 from hiking stores.

we use teflon cargo pants, water runs off them no matter how hard you rub against them. look and feel like normal bottoms. and so much easier then over trouses cost £35

[richard jagger]

A trick i do is spray my cargos with scotch guard , mostly in the front and this water proofs them also my boots and then respray after every fourth wash. Works a treat for light rain also stops staining.

Yes I am still cleaning windows - it's what pays the bills in our house  
I recently knocked it back slightly so that I now do just 1 full day a week. This is mainly commercial apartment blocks, but I also do a couple of large hotels and still have about 15 private houses as well (mainly next to my commercial contracts).

I find that I need to do at least 1 day a week to allow me to continue testing and developing equipment and ideas - I always have something new on the go and there is nothing quite 'standard' in the back of the van.
