Waterproof pants?

[HornetBoy]

:cold:

So im looking for some replacement 100% waterproof pants. currently have some cheapies from way back when i first bought a motorbike (mobigs) and they are starting to leak in places where a guy just doesn't want them to :gob:

o and price range would be anything up to $350 (as anything more and i may aswell go leather and wear overpants..which is not an option for me :dodge:)

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

My rev-it pant's have been great. Didn't leak once in 19hours of rain on the grand challenge.

My Teknics started to let a little damp in...so I bought a pair of most excellent, light PVC's from the Warehouse for $18 and a jacket for $13. Certainly did the trick.

They the ones with the reflective stripe down the side?
I bought the pants not long ago and yesterday,first time I'd been out in decent wet weather,my bum got very wet! I noticed they don't have any of the plastic backing on the stitching,so that may have been the problem.

Na. The Jacket is quite heavy plain Yellow and the paints are either the heavy PVC in a green or a light PVC in a navy blue. (I got the blue) They have welded seams.

I don't know how long they will last but they paid for themselves over the duration of the GC.

Are you allergic to leather or something?

:lol: u were joking riite ....?(ahh yes the silly season has arrived) no im not allergic to leather ,but i get random spasms upon looking at the price tags :banana: .Well leather isnt all that waterproof now is it ... so yes codura seems to be the way to go for wet weather rideing.

Revits, what is the name of the pants ?

Why on earth would you think I was joking?
It was a serious question, given that you can easily get good quality leather pants from here (http://www.quasimoto.co.nz/) within your budget I assumed there to be some other reason.

Leather will usually be fine for half an hour in the rain. $12.00 warehouse leggings have worked wonders for other times over the past few years.

Yep true have checked there and enquired about their codura pants,o and i should've mentioned that i commute rain,hail or shine to palmy north every day,so that it why id said leather is not an option,although i would if i didnt have to do my commute.

"Huggies" are good... as long as you dont fiddle with the elastic around the leg, they never leak...

+100 Rev'it gear

I've got the Factor (http://motoretail.co.nz/product.cfm?ID=4192) pants and they're great.

No leaks all winter commuting every day in Auckland. The armour did the business when I was taken out by a car and only have a 1mm scuff (as it was wet).

Plus they look pretty cool too (for codura).

And they're $300.

+ 1 on the Revit Factors

I've had a pair for the past month and they are miles better than my old Rjays pants

although for super heavy rain and long distance I'd look at getting some PVC rain pants to go over the top.

Make a damn good winter riding sock too, awesome.

But then so they should be coz they were EXPENSIVE!!
