As anyone who has ever turned up to the office in a pair of soaking wet Levi’s will attest, a good pair of waterproof cycling trousers is something not to be caught without.
Many are those who have bravely donned anoraks on a rainy day and saddled up without giving their legwear a second thought, only to realise too late that – of course – a decent waterproof jacket is only part of the equation. While a coat alone might suffice for a quick walk to the shops, a bike ride is an entirely different matter: the seated riding position leaves your tender thighs exposed to nature’s full fury, and even a light shower can leave you soaked through from the waist down.
