Back to waterproof trouser chat, turns out I have Endura Humvees, not Singletracks. However, if this isn't a great endorsement of them, I'm not sure what is.
Just got back from a ride in them, sat having a cup of tea and stupidly balanced my mug on my thigh while I answered a text. Obviously, the entire mug of boiling tea tipped over straight onto my groin. But the expected scalding to my bollocks never arrived. The sugary sweet contents just pooled on the surface of the trousers, DWR treatment going above and beyond what was ever asked or expected of it, and I simply stood up and poured it onto the floor and mopped it up. I will never stop doing stupid things, but I will now always wear waterproof trousers when balancing hot drinks near my knob.
