Water Repellent Cycling Tights?

[halo]

Can you get such a thing?

Does anyone have any??

Can anyone recommend any???

Don't Lusso do a line called "max Repel" - teflon coated, so somewhat water repellent, I belive.

Ronhill do tight called bikesters

Yep I use them. They do a good job and whilst may get damp you don't really feel it. Plus they dry really quickly.

My tights are just repellent. At least, they are when I'm wearing them.
Another vote for Bikesters.

wot you want is some galoshes with sum wellies of course and a sou-wester

I think what you are looking for are called overtrousers I seen some advertised at Wiggle and Ribble

No - it's not waterproof trousers I'm after - and Bikesters are more like Trackers - i.e. not "tight"s - I'll have a look for the Lusso's - cheers!

Ok, I couldn't find a suitable (pun) link, so go to your nearest Scuba shop and ask them to make you up a pair of 1mm Tropical full leg trousers.

That's the closest to waterproof tights I can think of.

I have a pair of Lusso repel bib tights & they do repel rain to a certain degree, but they are not waterproof
Mine are without pad, not sure if they come with a pad at all
Ceratinly handy for the UK weather

I have two pairs of Lusso Max Repel tights, bib and normal. They are both excellent. Whilst not waterproof, they repel most of it and when they do get wet, they seem to act a bit like a wet suit and still keep your legs warm. Highly recommended.

My Gore Windstopper tights are certainly water repellent and are good enough for light rain and they keep you warm, at least when the temperature is above freezing.

if you want max protection then just wear nothing at all.
Skin is the perfect waterproof

 

[jimboalee]

I'm going to my diving shop. I'll price-up a pair of full length 1mm Tropical leggings, with a double thickness of 5mm Coldwater at the seat.
Rough guesstimation - £25 - £30... Nothing fancy, plain black with twill lining.

Jim,

Is this the sort of Hi-Viz thing you had in mind?

Nice, it even comes with somewhere to carry your sandwiches
