Top Ten Budget Motorcycle Winter Trousers Under £200

Oxford Mondial

£199.99 | Available: www.oxfordproducts.com

After Oxford swung into the clothing market with their own gear a few years ago, they continue to pull all the stops to provide close to proper Gucci winter riding kit, at prices everyone could stretch to.

And, lo and behold, here is their Mondial pant to go with some of their rather excellent jackets. It’s stuffed with features, like the Dry2Dry waterproof technology and breathable membrane, and the WarmDry thermal system, part of which is removable.

It has a nylon outer shell, and even the thread is apparently also nylon bonded, while there’s something called ‘hidden structure stitching’ included in the construction, too. It has proper YKK (water resistant) zips, both mesh and direct ventilation and of course CE-approved protection alongside a back-protector pocket linked in with the braces system.

The trousers are available in sizes small to 5XL and an utterly brilliant bit of kit – we were rather impressed with their last lot of gear, so this well thought out second generation gear should be stunning, especially at this price point. Take a closer look at the trousers here.

Weise Marin

£119.99 | Available: www.thekeycollection.co.uk

Available in sizes small to 5XL, the Weise Marin is one of the cheaper trousers but comes fully equipped to do the job you want doing. Made from 600 Denier polyester on the outside, the rest of its spec means it’s also warm, waterproof, wind-proof and breathable.

These traits come from the light thermal (removable) lining, various other inner linings and of course the outer layer, too. It features connection zips for braces or a Weise jacket, while the rear of the pants are raised for extra weather protection. Good, because there’s little more annoying than feeling that first encroachment of an ice-cold trickle heading towards where the sun doesn’t shine, we think we’d all agree…

The pants also have venting covered by waterproof zippers, lower leg expanders, stretch panels in all the right places and two concealed outer pockets. A damn fine budget option right here, take a closer look at the Weise Marin trousers.

Ixon Sicilia

£149.99 | Available: www.motogear.co.uk

Damn, these Sicilia pants from Ixon look the nuts, don’t they?

A really smart design that comes in sizes small to 4XL, the outer layer is 90% polyester and has both two waterproof outer pockets and two hand pockets. There’s the right kind of protective armour in the knee and hip area, both legs have a double strap system for keeping things real tight. Also, there are plenty of reflective strips to keep the zipped venting on the thighs company.

The thermal lining is removable, and there’s other inner linings to help take care of all that breathable and waterproof malarky, too. A very, very nice and well specced up option from Ixon indeed.
