Title: wet weather pants
Post by: spanner on December 09, 2016, 09:14:22 AM
My wet weather over pants have finally died.

 

Just wondering if people have any recommendations that they love and work well for them.

 

my criteria are:

 
•ability to put on without having to take off boots.
•less than $200 MAXIMUM
•really REALLY water proof. I am sick of having wet crotches  :o when I get to work.    :cuss :cuss
•don't care about fashion ..... we are bikers are we not!

 

 

I did meet a lovely couple at the inaugural IBA muster who had these funky 'nappy-like' wet weather pants but I forgot who they were or what brand those pants were.

 

Thanks all,

 :beer

Are these the "nappy-like" pants you saw at the IBA muster?

I have a pair but have yet to put them to a good test. A plus is how you put them on a minus is how much space they take.
But mine are a very early pair (probably at least 15 years old) so things may have changed

Can you put them on without taking off your boot easily?

I used RJAYs for years, no leaks. A zip in the lower leg allowed you to put them on over boots and then a tag and velcro to wrap them tight on the boot to stop water being wind driven up the boot. About $80.00.

I have a pair of Rjays and Aquasport motorcycle riding pants and of all the pants I have tried I like these two best (talking rain gear here).   They ones I have, have a liner which makes putting on a breeze, doesn't stick or catch and your feet just slide thru.  I tried the larger size which allowed me to slip a boot thru but it was so loose that it flapped like crazy when riding and I didn't like that, so I ended buying the correct size but it does mean taking off my boots to put them on.  These are low end pants but IMHO well made.

I have ordered the naxsax.   

Will give some feed back when I use them.
