Deer stalking over trousers bib and brace?

[deertalker123]

HI all,
I am looking for some lightweight waterproof over trousers for hill stalking, I would ideally like bib and brace as they don't slide down. What are peoples recommendations? I have heard good things about Stoney Creek. I would ideally like some with a zipped front so I don't have to spend hours undressing every time I need a leak.
What does everyone use?
Cheers!

Have a look at the Keela website. Good enough for the mountain rescue.

Austrian Army Goretex. In green, £40 at RTI Military Surplus, Lutterworth..

I’ve been so impressed I’m on my second pair due to using them for beating and ripping them to death on bramble.

On the hill I wear merino wool thermal trousers underneath and they are truly water and wind proof. Full length zips on sides mean it’s easy to get them on and off whilst wearing boots. Can’t emphasise enough how good they are for the money.

I would second the Keela Munro’s.

My last pair were retired earlier this week after getting ripped on a snow fence at Glenshee by a friend who was wearing them. They are fifteen years old. Have done everything from deer stalking in wet weather, skiing and sailing. Superb bit of kit.

New pair ordered for £150 and arrived the next day. My old pair will get some tape and become a spare.

The beauty is that the have zips up both sides so you can put them on over boots with crampons, skis etc all in place. And they are tough enough for crawling through heather etc.

Ex German army goretex over trousers about £30 on EBay. Not pretty but functional. On my third pair.

Not lightweight as such but when the weathers really bad I use Paramo salopettes. If it’s very cold out you can use a base layer, I don’t usually bother, they’re toasty enough. Like the Keela, used extensively in Mountain Rescue, or certainly was when I was a team member.

+1 for these - excellent and occasionally in two for one offer
