Rain pants
Hey folks, simple as it says, rain pants.
I've had a search and can't find anything too relevant, so hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here.
So I came across a kickstarter website for Vear rain pants. Not protective pants, just rain pants. They zip up on both sides, and you can put them on while standing up. With your boots on.
This for me is key. I have size 13 boots. When I'm riding and it starts raining, I wonder if my pants will hold for this shower. The hassle of pulling over, taking off my boots one by one (while hopping to keep off the wet ground) and trying to get wetgear pants on over my bike pants. It is an enormous pain in the hoop. And very undignified too, for us cool-ass bikers.
So often I scoot on and wonder if the pants will hold, then I feel that first cold trickle. You know this trickle. If you are out for the day, it is a horrible trickle. Then comes the flood. Then you've got to pull over and do that bikers undignified rain-dance on the side of the road. Not a fan I've got to say.
I've been waiting years for these exact pants. Looking at the comments on the kickstarter website, they're still working through back orders, don't see them coming out for civilians any time soon. And they are expensive. Like $169.
Anybody know of similar pants available anywhere online that you can get, that don't cost a leg and another leg?
Here's a link to the video for the curious. If it's against site rules, admin just let me know and I'll remove.
