Waterproof Trousers for Cycling

Kieren Mar 2013 7:59pm, 17 Mar 2013 3635 posts	0 Kieren If I'm just cycling, tights are fine & do a good job of keeping me warm. However sometimes on the commute getting soaked in the morning isn't te worst part - that comes when I have to change into cold wet clothes to cycle home. I have a water resistant shell for my top half (Ground Effect: Flash Gordon). Water beads off that before eventually wetting through but it's breathable and keeps m dry enough. I would like some cycling shell trousers. No padding needed but don't know where to start looking - any suggestions? Some ventilation would me nice. Maybe a pocket.

Quite light and packed up small enough to go in the rear pocket of my cycling jacket. Long zips so easy to get on/off without removing shoes when raining (did that today!)

Boab Mar 2013 8:58pm, 17 Mar 2013 7110 posts	0 Boab I know, I know and I will. Only issue with OMM trousers is that when you have come off your bike and the trousers suddenly develop a large hole or ten a d they were a gift from your mother in law, they become a very very expensive (couple of) trousrers!!

Velociraptor Mar 2013 9:02pm, 17 Mar 2013 24504 posts	0 Velociraptor One of my pairs is duct-taped after one of my girls took a tumble out hill-walking while wearing them. The message I took from that is, "Don't lend your kids your good kit." I find Montane Pertex windproof trousers good too. They're not waterproof, but they'll keep off a heavy shower.

Got something to say?
