Lightweight, Compact, and Perfect for Rainy Days: My Experience with These Waterproof Overtrousers
The media could not be loaded. These overtrousers are perfect for wearing over your trousers when it's raining. I ride a bike, so I always carry them with me because I live in Ireland, and it can rain at any time. They are lightweight and don’t make me feel too warm, so if it’s just raining but not cold, they solve my problem of staying dry without overheating. The pocket allows access to my pants pocket, which is really cool because I don’t have to struggle to reach for my keys, for example. They have a button on the leg opening that allows you to keep the pants snug and prevents them from getting caught in the bike chain. The best part is the little bag that makes the pants very compact, so I can take them anywhere. One of the photos shows two overtrousers, one green (I bought it on Amazon) and one black (I bought it directly from the store). The green one is the men’s model, size M (my husband uses it), and the black one is the women’s model, size M (mine). I don’t see any difference in fit between the two, so if you want to buy and they only have one gender option, know that there’s no difference. I am 1.72m tall and weigh 54 kg. The overtrousers are a bit loose, but size S wouldn’t fit in length. My husband is 1.77m and weighs 66 kg, and the overtrousers fit him well.

Great piece of kit
2nd pair of these now, love these they are great wore these on many wild camps n generally camping all round, never been wet once, fully windproof definitely helps with the wind chill on the colder days would recommend, never had a problem with these yet, their not expensive for what they are, I'm 6ft 3 went with XL size n they fit over my trousers perfect with stud fasteners at the bottom, stops any draughts up leg n crap when trail hiking, highly recommend, only thing I wish I could change is maybe put zips on pockets but other than that, it's waterproof n windproof been out in many a torrential rain here in the UK n had 0 problems clothes always dry. Another thing is u can pack them away if needed into a tiny carry case for hiking if needs be weighs next to nothing.

Breathable only through holes for the pockets
Exactly what I needed for the work and while pressure washing.However, even if they are waterproof, you will get water in your pants which will actually be sweat. These are definitely waterproof but not breathable and the only fault is the material. You obviously can't get 2 in 1.Easy to pull on and size ordered is perfect fitting. It goes easily over thick clothing and still gives you plenty of room to move and feel comfortable.I've seen people complaining that they do not have pockets but only the holes through which you can reach pockets. This could be both beneficial and downside. I've slipped my phone multiple times to the bottom of my leg as I didn't get used to it and I was expecting the actual hole to be a pocket. Luckily bottom of the trousers always caught the phone on time and it was safe and undamaged.

Really Good, Perfect.
So I bought the Regatta Pack-it Jacket along with the Pack-it Trousers with the thought of them being "just ok for the price", however since having used them several times in some absolutely terrible wet and windy weather they are really proving to be a fantastic purchase. I bought the XL sizes to fit over my usual L sized clothing (and body fit) and this works out really great with them easily fitting over my usual trousers and fleece jacket.The jacket and trousers come with a small pack bag into which they roll up and can be stored in a small space in a bag/pocket etc for use when needed - the pack would be better in a coat pocket or bag than a trouser pocket due to the size (which isn't that big - but too big for a trouser pocket). Quality wise they are fine and seem to be standing up to loads of use with the zipper being easy use and general workmanship appearing to be sound.I always find a negative point (as nowt's perfect) - the jacket and trousers have an opening to access the pockets within your underjacket/trousers, for some reason Regatta has sewn these openings to face forwards rather than backwards which means that you are totally dry apart from the pocket area which the wind will blow the water into the openings - strange design decision on Regatta's part there? (it is minimal, nothing to worry much about but could be improved upon).Would I buy again, certainly! The Regatta Pack-It Jacket and Trousers fit nicely over my usual clothing, are comfy to wear with easy movement and are great value for money.

Ok but flawed design
I got these as I wanted them to carry with me on my motorcycle in case it rains unexpectedly when I wear jeans rather than waterproof pants, and for the most part they fit the bill. Pack small and quality looks OK. However, they have two pocket cutouts with no fastening, no press stud or velcro so they flap open and will let the rain through in normal use and especially when used on bike where the wind will push the flap open. So I'm left with either fixing velcro fastenings myself or wearing them back to front. Neither a great solution. Really poor and odd design decision.
