These are the waterproof trousers I’m considering for my thrice-weekly commute into the heart of industrial Basildon.
My main question is whether I need the articulated knees. I think I probably need them for the extra movement, but any advice welcomed.
Yes, that is it. I call that a blog post. Good thing it’s Wednesday evening and no-one is reading.

Boy, that’s an awfully deep discount. Are they being sold off because there’s a new and improved model coming out?
Personally, I like articulated knees in rainpants.
Just make sure you put them on the right way round. You don’t want your knees articulating the wrong way!
You need to get some nice hi-vis ones.
ari_1965 – It is a promotional price. You won’t do better than that unless you’re prepared to go unarticulated.
SteveF – You’re right. It doesn’t bear thinking about. I tried walking with no articulation and that was difficult enough.
Gary – Yes! Also that would show off to the world that I’ve been able to go for the articulated rather than a lesser model.
Unarticulated knees are the Devil’s bicycle. Avoid them at all costs.
Wednesday and nobody reading, eh? If I’d had as many people not reading over the course of a month as you have on a Wednesday evening, I’d have called my blog a massive success.
I am not sure why you need a storm flap. personaly I am quite capable of flapping in a storm without the aid of my trousers
Nothing worse than an inarticulate pair of trousers. I had a pair once – couldn’t get a word out of them for weeks.

Hi-vis knees?!?! 
They look as if the knees are pointing backwards.
Are you sure they’re not reduced because they have been misarticularized?
Don’t you need a licence for wearing them if they are articulated?
Oh Dave – how do you attract such an amazing bunch of people who read your blog. Feel quite inadequate – do you delete subscribers who are not funny enough?
Articulated knees? Is this a trouser too far? Overtrousered indeed!
I’m troubled by the discount. It’s more than 67%, surely?
Margaret – I agree, the comments are great. No deletion required, except spammers, although some of their comments aren’t bad either.
Chris – I can’t see the advantages in having ones knees visible from a distance, but I’m sure someone will be able to think of some.
Sorry folks, I have to ask this. What the heck are articulated knees in relation to rain pants. And why would you need them?
As I am in the sewing room, should I know how to draft a pattern for them. Although at present I am really Liz in the knitting room, and Liz in the computer room getting a scary new project off the ground. But neither the knitting nor the project involves articulated trousers. But the project involves strange things I didnt expect it too and a holiday in Tarsish was sounding fun, as Eric in my prayer group, it would have to be a very very big big fish!
Liz, articulated knees just means that there’s a slit in each trouser knee so that you can bend/kneel easily while wearing them. Either a flap is sewn on the pants so that it comes down and covers the slit, or the whole trouser leg is constructed in two pieces so that a bit of fabric (lip) comes down and covers the slit. The flap or lip of fabric keeps water out.
