Dry and stylish

Wearing to commute so need to be seen. The fluro stripes sit kind of at the front of your leg not the side. Elastic waist as well as a draw string which you could pull out if it annoys. I'm not using the zips as they fit over my Gearne Mx boots just nicely. Worn during a week of down pours in East Anglia. My legs are dry, my socks aren't !

Easy on

I haven't ridden in these yet but I have tried putting them on with riding kit. They go over my Richa Goretex gloves more easily than I thought, but loosening the draw cords on both mitts first helps. The toggles were easy to use with the mitts on. I tried them over a pair of Spada winter gloves and oddly, they were slightly more tricky to get over those than the Richa and didn't fit as well. Generally there seems to be enough room to move fingers around controls, but not too much to get in the way.

Good extra layer for the wet and wind

For light rain up to an hour or so no problems at all. Rode through heavy rain and over an hour start to soak through. But for the price they are great for wind especially and some rain. Size guide accurate. Fits over normal riding gloves just fine and not too sloppy.
