Find a waterproof pant for myself

Julian Foreman

Ok everybody, I have done a decent ammount of looking around the forum and have not come up with much that tells me what I want to know. I am really in the need for a pair of waterproof pants. In the fall and early winter here in central Illinois, it gets wet. I will be biking a lot and need something waterproof. Eventually, my rides will be 20 mins plus so I will need something that will keep me pretty dry. I will not have the ability to shower normally considering i m
going to classes and such here at ISU. I was looking at gortex, it sounds good, maybe a little hot, and rather expensive, but waterproof. Pertex also sounds nice accept I have a feeling I would end up a tad damp by the time I got to class. Really, I'm looking for most breathable and most waterproof. Any and all suggestions area welcome! thanks a lot!!
By the way,what about this waterproof pant?
I find it in google search.

Have a look at eVent stuff too, it should be more breathable than gore.

Something like this:

Thank goodness you're from the States - I thought something else when you mentioned waterproof pants, isn't a common language a wonderful thing...

Endura waterproofs are very good and a reasonable price. I use the Gridlock ones but they have more heavy duty trousers as well.

Best bet would be a travel towel, and just wear cycling shorts then pop on clothes in the toilet. If you wear waterproof 'pants' then you'll just end up really sticky unless you go incredibly slowly.
