I used to be amazed by how many people at our local trail centre ride in mtb trousers and waterproof mtb trousers. It tends to be more the downhill riders who bomb down a trail and then ride or push up the push track, stand around and regather their breath and thoughts and then bomb back down.
@youramericanlover as such the above people aren’t riding continuously and i guess don’t want to get cold and wet while waiting in line to ride back down the hill.
I was pretty sceptical about them until I bought a pair that are in my car for days when I arrive at trails and the heavens open. It’s good to be able to get changed post ride and not be covering clothes or the car in wet mud. Also they breathe well enough to do a couple of hours of trail riding.
