Mine are Site ones from screwfix. They've got wide legs and press studs on the ankles to take them in, so you don't have to take your boots off.

I've got a pair of "Uber" pants, reasonable quality, less than £20 from Ghost bikes I think. The others are PVC and came as a suit, which was a "Christmas Special" at Ghost bikes £9.99, always come in handy for walking, cycling etc. and live in my CBF topbox.

Mine allow me to zip UP from the foot to the waist AND DOWN from the waist to the foot.
Zipping down from the waist to the foot is fantastic. I've just replaced a pair of those - like for like. They lasted about 4 years, but the ease of putting them on makes me more than willing to buy new ones every few years.
