Waterproof trousers.....
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
When you are a male over 70 years old everything gets harder except for one thing.
Blokes over 70 know what that one thing is.😁😁😁
Orcade-Ian:
I usually wear a pair of RST trousers which are waterproof but if i'm just out for a short ride and it might rain (this is Orkney!) I wear a pair of lined trousers and put a pair of Berghaus pac-lite over-trousers in the top box just in case. These are waterproof and have zips right up to the hip, so very easy to put on over boots and they roll up to a tiny package. The zips can be tricky if you are not careful as the flap seal can become trapped but if you guide the zip toggle with a finger, this doesn't happen. I'm sure there are other makes with the same 'zip to hip' facility.

Thanks Ian, I was pondering about walking gear etc - will see what I can find in my local Outdoor clothing centre.....
BTW, it's p***ing down here!!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Back in my youth (1967) when I used to commute at weekends from Derby to Chester on my 250 Dream I had a pair of black Bib & Brace over trousers.
I suspect they were Army surplus - I looked like a Fisherman on a Trawler.
Matt_Harrington:
Ted, I bet they were better looking than my rubberised trousers I bought from Pride & Clark. They looked absolutely awful and were quite heavy (Dispatch rider issue maybe!) BUT they were 100% waterproof - which was what I was after as I did a lot or riding throughout the winter months. Oh, those were the days....
