Looking for cold weather, waterproof over-pants THAT WONT MELT.

So a few years ago I use to have some waterproof winter over-pants that I wore all the time. They were great! They were made of a waterproof canvas like material, had a removable insulated thermal liner, and on the inside of the calf section of the legs they had a fabric patch that would not melt if your leg accidentally brushed up against the exhaust pipe. I can’t remember if it was made by Tourmaster or Firstgear. I want to say they were the Firstgear HT Over-Pants. However, they have been discontinued. Those pants lasted me for like 15 years before they lost their waterproofing.
Now a days, everything is made out of synthetic materials that will melt the second it touches something hot. What have y’all found out in the market for durable, waterproof, winter over-pants that have an anti melting patch to protect the pants from melting if they touch the exhaust pipe on the right leg?

I've used the Gerbing EX (eXtreme Element) jacket and pants for years.  Works well for cold weather and as a rain suit.  With my modular helmet I stay completely dry even when riding several hundred miles in a down pour.......or when we get caught in a freak snow storm on a Memorial Day weekend.

Dana Lee:
JCZ, do those pants have a heat protection patch around the right calf area to prevent melting the pant leg if it comes in contact with the pipes?

I believe they have on both legs.  I've been riding with this set up since 2010 and never an issue.  Many of the CVO group from the West coast have the Gerbing eXtreme Element.....  https://www.gerbing.com/mens-ex-pro-jacket
