Hi all
any indea on a pair of 3/4 length shorts , longish baggies or leg warmers that would have a waterproofing quality around knees. I have found that even with leg warmers on a longish spin in wet weather my knees feel some discomfort more than usual. its definately linked to getting wet/cold.
when i used to wear shin/knee protection that actually helped with this problem but surely its a common enough complaint/problem with mtb'rs.

If there was a pair of leg warmers that had a waterproof patch over the knee that would be perfect. Knee warmers and full cycling trousers are aboyt as heavy a material that i can work with if tight to knee. ( dodgy knee caps that if compressed by a heavy material would be fairly sore ).

so coming into wet and mucky season any help would be greatly appreciated.
