The Swampmaster Stormgear Waterproof Over Trousers are a full-length waterproof over-trouser built from the same 6,000mm-rated Dry-X™ breathable fabric as the rest of the Stormgear range. With double welded seams, an elasticated drawcord waist, and adjustable ankle studs, they offer comprehensive wet weather leg protection for work and fieldsport use across a full XS to 3XL size range.
Why We Recommend It
The Stormgear Over Trousers sit in the sweet spot between the lightweight split leggings and a full bib and brace. They give you complete leg coverage with a proper waist fastening — ideal for those who want the security of a full over-trouser but don't need the upper body coverage of a bib. At £26.50 with a 6,000mm waterproof rating and double welded seams, the value is exceptional. The full XS to 3XL size run means there's a fit for almost everyone in your shoot or working team.

Now my friends, I have to be honest with you — I've seen Craig in the split leggings, I've seen him in the bib and brace, and I've seen him in these. The over-trousers are what he reaches for on a proper wet day when he wants full coverage without the faff of a bib. They're on in about thirty seconds and he looks almost presentable. Almost. For £26.50, they're an absolute no-brainer. 🐾

How To Use
Step into the over-trousers from the top, pulling them up over your existing trousers. Adjust the elasticated drawcord waist to a comfortable, secure fit. Fasten the adjustable ankle studs around the outside of your boots or wellies to create a close seal against ground splash and water ingress. Use the side access openings to reach into jacket or trouser pockets underneath without removing the waterproofs.
Care Guide
- Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle — do not use fabric softener as it impairs the DWR waterproof coating
- Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry naturally away from direct heat
- Do not iron directly on the outer fabric
- Rinse mud off promptly after field use to preserve fabric performance
- Reproof with a DWR spray periodically to restore water beading performance after repeated washing

FAQs
What is the difference between these and the Stormgear Split Leggings?
The Over Trousers are a full-length over-trouser with an elasticated drawcord waist — they go on over the top like a second pair of trousers. The Split Leggings are a chap-style design that fasten along the outer leg and can be put on without removing your boots. The Over Trousers give more complete coverage; the Split Leggings are faster to put on and take off.
Are these suitable for shooting days?
Yes — they are popular with beaters, pickers-up, and rough shooters for exactly this use. The breathable Dry-X™ fabric keeps them comfortable on active days, and the 6,000mm rating means they'll handle a sustained British downpour without leaking through.
Can I access my trouser pockets while wearing them?
Yes — the side access pocket openings allow you to reach through to your clothing layers underneath without removing the over-trousers.
How do I choose the right size?
Size to your usual trouser size. The elasticated drawcord waist gives good fit adjustment. If you are between sizes or wear thick base layers underneath, go up one size. The full XS to 3XL range ensures most builds are catered for.
What makes double welded seams better?
Welded seams bond the fabric layers together using heat rather than stitching, eliminating the needle holes that can allow water ingress. Double welded seams add a second bond for additional waterproof integrity at the highest stress points — making them more robust than single-welded or taped seam alternatives.
