Tamsin’s first impressions
I liked the soft, comfortable fabric that looked really easy to wear.
Overview of performance
The material is very comfortable and waterproof without a being too stiff or giving a “crinkly” sound as you walk or ride. These over trousers proved to be multi-purpose and were used a lot out of saddle particularly for dog walking, just like the description says!
Tamsin’s likes and dislikes
I liked how comfortable and practical these over trousers are, and that you can wear them off the horse as well as you can on the horse. When worn to put up new paddock fencing, they certainly delivered on toughness too!
Verdict
These over trousers delivered both on and off the yard
