I've had Fox Fire Defend trousers since my first winter riding, , this year i've kept a little weight off so they don't fit me

Found the next size down for 120 at tredz, or Altura ridge thermal for 90

Would also be willing to try tights under a dwr pair of trousers.. basically any deals for some kit which is suitable below 10 degrees and has some small amount of water repulsion, looking around a 34 waist, preferably with some sort of adjustment/bibs/dungarees

Was going to grab a pair of context gravity trousers and something underneath, but they aren't in stock atm

requirements:

34 waist

adjustable

tough to take a spill or two

suitable for sub 10 deg c conditions

can handle some damp

Have you tried getting some braces to keep your existing ones up?

I bought some Oakley braces - very nice and not so geeky looking.

I would go for leggings, like HH Lifa, under the waterproof trousers - can change the warmth of the leggings according to the outside temperatures and they will also feel nicer if the leggings aren't brilliantly breathable/clammy.
