Take a cheap set of thin waterproofs and a base layer in addition to your other gear. If they get totally soaked, I've seen me put the base layer and waterproofs on UNDER the soggy bike jeans. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

So from 2018 you've not considered or found waterproof bike clothing?
Are you a real biker or a Faerweather Faeiry?
Plastic trousers work at keeping rain out but over time you get wet from perspiration.
It cannot get through the plastic troos.
Waterproof breathable textile/leather is the solution.
Unless, that is, you are a Faerweather Faeiry.  |
Not at all; I live near Manchester. Faerweather Faeiry mode around here would see a "biker" (sic) never actually leave the house. I usually wear "normal" textile trousers which are waterproof and breathable (although they do let water in after a few hours, although wearing overtrousers on top of them kept me dry on a 50 mile motorway journey in torrential rain). However, they're rubbish off the bike and don't offer a great deal of abrasion resistance compared with the jeans.
I like Stinkwheel's idea - it'd help dry out the jeans quickly too. ____________________ TG. |

I'm on the cusp of changing my sig too, something along the lines of "I'm no Faerweather Faeiry me, look at my wet jeans" but I think it might be a bit too much for Ste  ____________________ TG. |
