I'm after a pair of Trailscout Waterproof Longs , cheapest place that ship to UK is Alpine Trek and that's £140 ! So do I have to pay that much and if so are they worth that much ?

£140, is that full price? I got a full suit from Alpinetrek for £160, it does a cracking job. The bottom half is more robust looking than other waterproof shorts I've had. Only 2 rides in though.🤷

Be very wary of Alpine Trek, cheap(ish) and quick to deliver but god help you if you need any form of customer service. Currently six weeks into trying to get a pair of POC trousers warrantied. I have proof of delivery a month ago but the trail stops there. They won't reply to emails or answer the phone. Shocking

Stif do Dirtlej, but only seem to list the suits.

Might be worth an email to see if they can get you the trousers?

Thanks everyone, especially Local's warning about Alpine Trek. I've found a good price for a pair of TLD Resist trousers to try .

r2-bike stock them, and you probably avoid VAT if shipping to UK
