Looking for some waterproof trousers, are the Endura Gridlock any good ?
I dont want to spend loads on Event etc as I have a habit of ripping things :-)
Any suggestions please ?

I just bought some Helly Henson (spl?) ones for about £12 from sportsworld (or whatever they are called - evry town has one - cheap sports shops)
Seem fine for my needs, velcro strap around the ankle.....0 -
I have the gridlock ones, they are very good. Reasonably hardwearing haven't crashed too hard in them yet.
IIRC they size up quite small, so order a size larger than usual.0 -
I have gridlocks - good, hard wearing, plus the extra thickness inside the calf helps with rubbing.

I have Gridlocks....they're OK but have let me down once or twice when water starts to get in - espcially on the a***. They're quite heavy too - I get very hot in them.
They are hardwearing tho.....had a couple of nasty scraping spills in mine - one on road, one off - and they've held up well.0 -
Grid locks are good but unless it's really cold (no higher than say 5 degrees) I find them too hot. Perhaps I'm just sweaty? Good for commuting, if you take it easy or bloddy awful weather. Otherwise I stick to Lycra. I think they are as good as anything else out there though - they are durable.'Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible' Marcel Proust.0
