Yes - they're the bee's knees as far as I'm concerned. Heavy, well waterproof, rather warm for some
people in Spring and Autumn, but they have full length zips for ventilation. I wear them 6 months of
the year at least.One snag is that gaiters over the top would make my ankles sweaty, so they do get mucky and need
washing in NikWash.

I have the salopettes (wearing them even now, in fact, just to make sure they still fit before
taking them out for a walk on Sunday), and they work well. I can endorse Jiffy's comments about
keeping them proofed because they aren't as waterproof as the jackets. Still good, though - I've
never had them anything close to soaked.Colin

I've had mine for about two years and am also wearing them at the moment! They're just so
comfortable! In cold weather I wear them everywhere. I would agree that in mild weather they can be
warm but the ventilation arrangement does work, for me anyway. For maximum comfort, I use braces
with them but this may be connected with the fact that my waist disappeared about 1990!Regards

I agree that they are more comfortable with braces, but they are elasticated and I manage with a
belt because none of the braces I own have a strong enough grip on the top edge.

I went into Cunninghams in Betws-y-Coed to buy an Aspira Smock. Best they would offer was 10%. Then
I went over the road into Ultimate Outdoors and they offered me 20% discount on everything I bought
that day - which was the one thing I wanted, an Aspira Smock.Using 20% of RRP as a guide, you should be looking to pay no more than £88 for your trousers.
Try phoning Ultimate Outdoors, and say you've heard they offer 20% off Paramo gear. They'll do
mail order.
