The Foxwear rain pants have worked out great for me over the last year or so (though I haven't worn them since May). They're water resistant in all but the heaviest downpours on my commute (about 30-40 minutes) and even when they're soaked they're warm. They also do an amazing job at cutting the wind. The material is quite durable, even surviving a slide on the pavement once. Also, Lou will ask you what conditions you're riding in and will do stuff like make the waist a bit higher for no extra charge. I've got an evap-lite jacket, rain pants, tights and balaclava from Foxwear. My only problem is now that I've lost about 35ish pounds over the last year from biking instead of driving, the jacket and pants are now pretty baggy on me. -- --dlloyd --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
