• Talk to me about the Zoa rain pants.

    Had to panic buy a 17EU pair from Decathlon before S7 and they lasted a whole 1.5 days of pissing rain off-road before the arse fell out of them (riding a prong-nose Adamo probably didn't help, the saddle cover was also shredded). But they did keep my legs mostly clean and warm. Buy cheap buy twice...

    Anyway, I now want some proper ones that aren't super flappy and maybe aren't boil-in-a-bag.

    My biggest concern really is pack space - how small do these squash down to? I'll obviously be in the bigger sizes XL or XXL so don't want my saddle bag entirely filled with rain pants.

  • You need some assless chaps

  • you are an extreme use case that every brand fears

    i have nothing else to add :(

  • The sizing is quite weird. I bought M and L and ended up choosing M (Iā€™m 1,85m approx and about 82kg, take about a 32-34ā€ leg in jeans depending on brand, 33 or 34ā€ waist). In L the waist would have been far too big for me. In M the waist is right but the leg is just about long enough.

    Pack size: M can roll up into about the size of a 500ml tinny.
