Overpriced and really not fit for purpose.

Lee, Levis, Wrangler, they all work fine when worn _under_ proper motorcycle
trousers. Look for something with a Gore-Tex liner for comfort and water
resistance.

So what does come recomended? Could be warmish, so something in a
light colour would be good.

In the time-honored tradition of recommending what you own:

The Aerostich Roadcrafter One-Piece suit.

http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-suits/roadcrafter

Not for everyone, obviously.

There's plenty of textile overtrousers on the market, separate from
jackets. I like the quick on/off of the one piece suit. I am also
never going to be caught out wearing only a jacket. As the estimable
Dr. Woodward was fond of saying, if you're only going to wear half
the gear, probably best to wear the over trousers, since injuries to
your upper body are less life-altering than injuries to your legs
which affect mobility.
