I am on a budget of £50, (so many other bills to pay this month) Is it possible to get a reasonable waterproof and windproof jacket and trousers for that budget. I was thinking about these, http://www.millets.co.uk/clothing/mens-clothing/jackets/product/042130/ps-journey-jacket-black-m.html?attribute=3323816  http://www.millets.co.uk/clothing/mens-clothing/trousers-and-shorts/product/033049/mens-active-trousers.html?attribute=4784480 Not sure how good they be, But with the 40% discount. I would get them under £50.

What do you guys think.

All looks good!  :) i bought a pair of waterproof/windproof trousers (men's .. they didnt have ladies)in Regatta at the Outlet centre in Banbridge last year for £14.00. they are so comfy and warm (nearly too warm for me) and seen me through the worst of the winter.. I was down there last week and they are still at the same price.

Do you remember which ones you bought, there is so many diffirent Regatta trousers.

There is nothing on them to indicate a style..  they have two internal pockets at the front with two zip pockets below, same at the back and one at the thigh area.. they're at the back of the shop to the left of the changing room if thats any help :)

I have the unlined ones, kiwi classic i think, good trousers, £20 from sports direct, although i found the 34 waist to be very baggy round the legs, changed for 32, better fit on the legs, just enough room on the waist, will have to go easy on the turkey and selection boxes this year   ::)

I also thinking about gettting Craghoppers Mens Kiwi Winter Lined Trousers.  Ive never tried that brand before, Anyone got any input about them.

I have a pair of them, they are brilliant, very warm and great for walking in, would highly recommend them!  :)

I've had the Kiwi unlined zip-off trousers for years and no complaints.  Just bought a pair of the lined ones out of TK Maxx and thy're real cosy.
