Got soaked to the skin on Sunday wearing my cheap Altura Summit shorts, so I'd like something a little more weatherproof and slightly less baggy, can almost fit 2 legs in 1 hole on the Summits, ha ha!

Looking at the Madison Tempest as they seem fairly decent, anyone used them or got any alternatives, preferably for less than £50?

    So did the water go up the leg or through the material?

    Cheers, I'll take a look, most of my riding mates shorts are far less baggy than mine, I might need a size smaller! :wink:

    Definitely through the material, we were on the road back to the car when the worst shower hit, and they were soaked through in 10 seconds flat.

    I have some waterproof Endura shorts that I found work really well for the money. I did have the Altura ones before but they ended up falling apart from over use i guess :?
