Mountain Biking Trousers Recommendation

[Jim77]

Could anyone recommend me some good quality mountain biking trousers.

I have been checking out Wiggle and at present the 'Race Face Indy Trousers' look quite good.

i am looking for something just for the mountain biking not for wandering about in. I want something quite tough that is fairly waterproof so don't get all soggy and also some that won't get caught up in the chain.

Cheers in advance for your advice.

bib tights + knee pads

I don't want bib tights, that is why I am looking for trousers

"endura singletrack trousers" are crap. keep slipping down. I tried some and went back to bibs. Cant' help any more than that i'm afraid. try not being so vain

I guess you're right about it being vanity, but I just am not a fan of tight fitting lycra. Are there any trousers out there that people would recommend ?

Tried a few different pairs, all fine in the dry but as soon as it gets wet/muddy it's like carrying a flapping ton weight. I have a pair of event waterproof trousers which are great but no matter how much they say it's breathable you still sweat a lot.
I tend to use 3/4 or normal length shorts+pads.

How about some Ronhill Trackster Trek? They aren't skintight, and you can wear a pair of padded shorts under them. The material is a bit thicker than the old Trackster Classics, and they have pockets too. On special offer at Go Outdoors:

I use Endura superlight 3/4 over Endura Humvee's. Waterproof, plenty of ventilation and alow plenty of movement.
