Do these waterproof trousers exist?

I’m 5 ft 2.
I’m after trousers that are at least a tiny bit stylish, have plenty of pockets, actually do the job they’re supposed to do but don’t break the bank.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Not sure if these would have enough pockets for you, but his about these?

Check waterproofness (is there such a word?) firbeach style as it varies - the lighter summer ones are showerproof rather than repellant

thanks for the link AuntieStella but sadly they are only showerproof and I need waterproof.

Try Eddie Bauer Cloud Cap pants, they look decent!

I have a pair name brand Kuhl, but i don't see that they have them this year; I bought mine a few years ago.

I don’t think Eddie Bauer stuff is easily available in the UK.
In my walking group a couple of women have the rain proof Rohan trousers. They’re not that stylish but they are effective. I have the Açai ones and they’re good enough for what I do. Need to be reproofed every few washes.

How about these?

May be difficult to get fully waterproof and stylish. I have the acai ones linked above and ended up in a Loch from the knees down - water was repelled like water from a ducks back. Depends what conditions you'll be using them in - if I need fully waterproof I do two layers - skinny leggings type topped by goretex over trousers or gaiters (if just likely feet/lower limbs will be wet).

That said, I've got some Fjallraven kebs which I wax up but not all their panels are waterproofable. Not sure if they're everyone's idea of stylish but I think they look good in an outdoorsy way.

Thank you very much for the posts and suggestions. I'm going to try the Rohan ones although the idea of gaiters is interesting too. Do you have skinny waterproof trousers that you use with the gaiters?

Rohan are quite generous sizewise, btw. I’m normally a 12 but their 12 is a bit big, 10 is a bit on the tight side.
