Summer strides

Any suggestions for lightweight/ showerproof trousers ?

Not quite warm enough for shorts for late evening games and ideally some water resistance incase of the odd shower.

You are kidding, aren't you? Ask any postie who wears shorts all year round, and they will tell you that the act of walking keeps your legs quite warm enough, thank you. Or are you in a buggie?

Can understand long trousers re insect bites, but that wasn't your concern.

Also, skin is generally waterproof

Can get shower proof chinos last few years.

Never tried any, but sound like what you seek.

Just bought a pair of the new Under Armour chinos. Very comfortable in deed, and great fit. Probably a little pricey for chinos compared to ones you can get on the high street, but having a few pairs of their excellent golf trousers, thought I'd try them. Don't know about showerproof, but you can always get a bottle of Grangers Xtreme Repel and spray them.

This.. shorts every time for me, I'd like to know where in the UK the op is for it to be too cold for shorts

Weirdly true.. Anything over 10°C and I tend to get the shorts on. Lower legs don't really feel the cold - probably due to hairiness as well.

FJ do some decent trousers that are supposedly water repellent. Bit pricey but I think any sort of trouser with the repellent feature the OP is looking for will be

My UA troos are the lightest comfiest breeks I've ever worn.

I would go light weight, and fast drying, over shower proof.
