overtrousers
Outer leg covering
Overtrousers are waterproof or protective trousers designed to be worn over regular pants, typically used in wet weather, outdoor activities, or work environments where clothing needs shielding from rain, mud, or other hazards.
They usually feature a loose fit to accommodate layers underneath and often have full-length zippers or snaps along the legs for easy on-and-off over boots.
I packed overtrousers for the hiking trip in case of rain.
