4.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate wind/rain pants for cyclists?, June 28, 2011

Bottom (ehem) line: I give them a 4 of 5. For me, at 6'3", the XL is an inch or two short in the crotch. Not a big deal, but they tend to creep down when I'm out of the saddle. Complicating matters is the lack of a simple draw string stop thingy with which to cinch the draw string...

Now the good. The seat is durable, the fabric windproof, leg length ample, and I can put them on/off over size 13 shoes. They are reasonably lightweight, and though I would like more Velcro to cinch the cuffs, they keep you covered from the elements.

I've put in nearly 200 miles of rain-soaked riding in these pants, and can say they work really well. The big test was the 2011 Tour de Blast. 84 miles, 6000 vertical feet, low 40's and rain all the way. Unlike the typical ride, I loved the climbs ('cause they warmed me up), and feared the descents (they froze my brain and made me want to p*#k!) In 100% humidity, you can't expect to stay dry: I was soaking wet almost the entire ride. These Goretex pants kept me warm by keeping the wind at bay, and helped prevent a case of hypothermia. More than I can say for the many riders who succumbed to the the cold and had to take the wagon back. Me? I was wet, but warm, and made the entire ride.

If you need to use these pants, the going is getting tough. That's when this kit can make all the difference.

These are outstanding cycling pants. Everything you expect from Gore. The challenge is the sizing. I could not find a size that worked for me and as a result ended up returning them.
