I finally got round to wearing these on the bike over the weekend. Went for a ride both days and decided to give the winter trousers a miss on account of a bright thing in the sky.
Trousers were good, comfortable for a two hour ride. Felt a bit chilly at first, which is fine... it not being summer yet.

... I think the waist has shrunk a little though while they were hanging in the wardrobe???

PS... Long Eaton in roughly between Nottingham and Derby.

Back to the trousers... after a somewhat wet weekend in France... These can in no way be described as waterproof! To be fair they don’t pretend to be. Also, on the GSA at least, they are fine in even pretty heavy rain if you stay above 50ish. However, slower than that and you WILL get a wet groin... legs weren’t too bad. I also discovered that my 15 year old (about) gortex walking trousers also have a leaky groin. Un-noticed when walking... quickly discovered on 2 wheels.
However, the trousers do dry out quickly, and are a fair compromise between keeping you warm, when there is an unexpected chill, and not being too sweat inducing when it’s hot.
