Army surplus Gore-Tex DPM are what I use Mark.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: Waterproof over trousers
I have used the Paramo system of clothing for the last year or so . I cannot fault it . It is expensive however but is washable and easily re -proofed . I cannot recommend their products highly enough .

I've got a pair of Drennan series 7 over trousers mark, utterly waterproof and fleece lined, very comfortable. For light showers a pair of craghopper kiwis may suit ( millets stock them) they are actually walking trousers so are again very comfortable with many pockets, whilst not waterproof they are shower proof and dry out in minutes

I bought some over-trousers from Sealand last year in Hay while fishing the Wye. I sat in the rain for over 2 hours and only my bottom half was dry. Until it started running down inside my shirt. Highly recommended but expensive.

Flexothane green overtrousers, standard shepherd wear, about £20 and lets face it shepherds get covered in all kinds of goo.

Re: Waterproof over trousers
My first ports of call would be Go-Outdoors, or Decathlon.... both stock lightweight waterproofs and for a reasonable price too
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home
