Wore the Madison DTE trousers for much of the ATM route and they were pretty good (I've nothing else to compare them with but that did the waterproof thing they were supposed to).
Found the older model cheap on ebay. Couple of things I'd change would be maybe adding a strap around the ankle to cinch them a bit tighter near tha cranks and as with most trousers I need bigger size to get over my thighs but then the waist is too big - but that happens with everything. Tightening the velcro straps though means there's velcro flaps on each side which I'd clip or drag whenever puling tops up or down over them. Bit annoying, not a showstopper.
When the sun comes out (holy shit, in Scotland, really?) they do get hot and it's so nice to tear them off and get some cool air on bare legs.
