Which Waterproof Trousers?

Hmm, in two minds now. I can get the crank ones (their cycling ones) for 100 euros, the others might be over kill? Time for a ponder.

They'll wet out nicer than jeans but don't get the waterproof benefit.. cinder are overkill for a few short rainy rides a year but on the flipside, if you get cold easily or face longer rainy rides or don't like boil in a bag overtrousers, might be worth it.

Stop it, I'm going to raid the kids savings at this rate. Eyeing up the cinder biking jacket as well now.

Anyone tried these ? https://www.craghoppers.com/mens-nogales-gore-tex-trousers-black-1/

They are only £50 pound on their ebay store.

Hmm, worth a punt at that price or too good to be true...?

Rab update: bought the Cinder Downpour, sent them back and got the Cinder Kinetic instead. Fit is spot on and the fabric feels very nice. Nice bike-specific touches too, like the reinforcement where the trousers would contact the chain. Had a few commutes in the rain and they performed as well as one can expect from PFAS-free fabric. So all in all a very good purchase.

Cheers for that, giving those trousers some serious thought

Can't trust anything modelled by a guy with bigger arms than legs...

These are £147 at Tiso.com. Ordered a pair, hopefully they live up to the hype!
