Waterproof pants for winter commute

[Puddleduck]

I'm about to trawl through CRC and have a look for waterproof pants so that I can commute to work when it's wet. :smow:

Any recommendations from the punters about some decent and durable water proof pants.......?

Cheers

I know a Honda motorcycle instructor, who is out riding in all conditions (including some absolute deluges, they don't cancel courses for weather ever apparently) all day most days a week, who swears by Mont rain paints. I could see them being too baggy for cycling though.

Cheers mate.

I checked out the other thread but most info related to jackets.

I got some of these.

Sort of made locally. Breathable. You're feet are going to get wet anyway.

I am a big fan of keeping my extremes and my core warm. Good wool socks will go someway to keeping your feet warm even when wet. From my experience I haven't really needed to bother to keep my lower legs warm/dry if I've done the right thing to look after the core/extremities.

I had a pair very similar to these. https://www.anacondastores.com/clot...s/p/90051084?gclid=COr566Xei88CFQukvQodoM4ODg
I never got wet, I was never too hot (none more so than the usual ride anyway) and they were really durable. The pair I had were very stretchy too so they didn't tear when you were bent forward.

dhb Flashlight overshorts work very well (Wiggle sells them). I keep a pair rolled up with a rain jacket and just chuck the roll in my back if there's more than a small chance of rain during the day. If it does rain, you're more likely to be made miserable by wet feet anyway.

Holy shit! You're alive!!!!! Great to see your name pop up in here again!

Unless you are riding in some serious cold conditions I'd forget about full length waterproof trousers and go with some waterproof overshorts and shoe covers. Full length trousers are seriously hot and not particularly comfortable in my experience.

Surely a puddleduck doesn't need pants?





Got nothin'....
