Waterproof Shorts

[Cormac]

Given the seasonable weather, can anyone recommend a pair waterproof shorts/trousers?

Thanks

Yep I have the endura ones, if you have a pair of endura baggie shorts you can unclip the linning and put them in these shorts and they stay up fine. If you are just using them over a set of bib shorts they do have a tendancy to fall down a bit if you get on and off your seat.

They work pretty well and do keep you dry, I do actually end up using them more for communting than on the trails as to be honest they do get quite warm as there is no air flow to certain parts of the anantomy. If its a short ride I would just use normal shorts and get wet but on all day epic spins I would put these on to keep warm and dry.


A couple of my friends in the UK use gore ones which are made of goretex but at €100 compared to €50 I chose the cheaper ones and have been pretty happy.

Ha, Conor is on the right track,... but wrong size,

you could try incontinence pants? but wear them inside out obviously!!

or alternately fill your pockets with those moisture absorbing crystals..

actually just stay in when it rains, admittedly that might seriously curtail the number of times you actually get to cycle..

but hey you can't

HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT!!
