British weather rarely sticks to the forecast. A dry morning can turn into a downpour before the second drive, and long wet grass will soak your legs through within minutes of setting off. Shooting leggings and overtrousers are the quick fix: light enough to carry in a pocket or bag, and fast to pull on over your breeks or shooting trousers when the weather turns.

Why Carry Waterproof Shooting Overtrousers

Waterproof shooting overtrousers give you full-length protection without committing to heavy waterproofs all day. Pull them on over your usual shooting trousers when it rains, when you are standing through a long drive in the wet, or when walking through soaking grass, bracken or root crops. Take them off again when conditions improve. Most fold down small enough to fit in a game bag or coat pocket, so there is no reason to be caught out. They are also a sensible choice for beaters and pickers-up, who spend more time in wet cover than anyone.

Leggings and Overtrousers with Breeks

If you wear breeks on a driven day, shooting leggings cover the gap between the hem and your boots and keep your socks dry. Look for full-length side zips that let you fit them over boots or wellingtons without taking your footwear off, along with a quiet, breathable fabric that will not rustle at the peg. Reinforced ankle panels help them survive contact with boot hooks and buckles. For walked-up days in boots, shooting gaiters are another way of keeping water and heather out.

Shooting Trousers for Men and Women

If you would rather wear one pair all day, a dedicated waterproof shooting trouser may suit you better. Our waterproof shooting trousers and GORE-TEX shooting trousers combine weather protection with reinforced knees and practical pockets, while camouflage shooting trousers suit pigeon shooting and wildfowling. You will find mens shooting trousers and ladies shooting trousers in our full shooting trousers collection, with overtrousers and leggings here in both men's and women's fits.
