Bike Trousers for summer im drowning in my own sweat heeelp

[Ribenapigeon]

Im currently suffering in my Bike trousers they are supposedly waterproof breathable ones but in effect i spend all day sitting in my own sweat wether rain or shine. If i still end up wet I do wonder what the point of water-proof trousers actually is.

Are there any good trousers out there that are properly breathable as well as having protection but not basically sweat collecting bags. I would rather not buy the kevlar jeans type trousers as I have just never liked jeans.

Is there a solution to this or is being a biker a sweaty life sentence?

I have a green/white pair that have had about five years service and quite fancy the purple cammo next.

Pricey, but at times I have virtually lived in mine.

I have wicking base layers from when i used to hillwalk but they still make you feel clammy. Also if they are man made materials then they can get smelly pretty quick.

Get a set of Kevlar jeans, I can personally recommend draggin and Berik.

I have nothing constructive to say.... but just had to say

.....EWWWW..............

Venting. Next pair you buy, pay a wee bit more and ensure they have some nice Summer zip vents.

The wind shall be rushing through your nether regions.

Least, that's what I just done

I have similar trousers and when I wear them over any other trousers I'm fine. But If I have them just over underwear my legs sweat massively - I guess bit of cotton between skin and textile makes a difference.

are you serious? It's like 13 degrees where I am during the day and I can't wear leathers without feeling chilly. I have to put thermals inside them and im still cold.

I'm fine in thermal textiles though....

[sheriffjonny]

Are Kevlar jeans really good enough? I've been looking at them and keep thinking I'll get some, but they are quite expensive, and I wonder if they'd offer as much protection as a pair of textiles I could get for the same sort of money

Ive got a paiir of Draggin jeans and love them, they give so much more freedom of movement than leathers and they are so much more breathable.

I've got a pair of Hood Kevlar Jeans, olive green cargo style, they withstood a crash that broke my collar bone, and shredded my waterproof over trousers. The outer material has a (now patched thanks to my wonderful fiancée) hole, but the kevlar underneath is untouched. I'm happy with them.

[Ribenapigeon]

Im ok when out riding its getting back to the office when things get too sweaty.

Im just not a big fan of denim and the Hood Jeans range did have some polycotton trousers but only in green or camo.

[Ribenapigeon]

Maybe i should get this

I have a pair of Red Route Kevlar Jeans. They are good value compared to others, comfy, and come with removable CE armour in the knees.

I used to have a pair of textiles that had a breatheable mesh around the crutch, inner thigh, and had zips on the lower legs to allow air in...they were really good. Got them from J&S Accessories.

Ive decided im going to just buy some of the kevlar jeans and take out the lining and make the lining into a pair of under trousers i can wear under any other trousers and fit knee and hip prtectors to them.

The reason i dont like denim is its a rubbish material really and awfull when wet it chaves and dousent dry out for ages and its a lot weaker than people think compared to modern good quality poly cottons.

Having an off-road orientated bike I've gone for some motocross pants. They do the job and at 50ish the wind blows through them like sails. They do the job
