Waterproof pants under $50? Go!
I am considering upgrading my waterproof gear this year, and am looking for waterPROOF (not just resistant) pants under $50.
I've been using Helly Hansen Voss pants for the past few years, and they are fine; the only downsides are that they can be hard to put on over shoes and they wear out somewhat quickly (6-12 months of daily use). I can get a new pair for $20-$25, and will do so again if I do not find anything better and reasonably cheap.
My riding conditions include: Cold rain (for about a month), wet snow (for about a month), dry snow plus moisture and gunk from road salt/sand/blue stuff (two months), freeze/thaw cycle slush (2-4 weeks), occasional cold rain again.
Desired features: Waterproof (not just water resistant), no lining or insulation, easy to get on and off over shoes, available in smaller sizes (small men's or women's, large youth), durability (no cheap Frog Toggs). Breathability is less important than the ability to keep out water.
