So, a bit like Boaz wearing Shrek's old pants then?

Hammer time! You can't touch this!

They are like wearing a pair of thermally lined yellow PVC trou. I get wetter on the inside on a dry day than the rain makes the outside on a wet day. Definitely don't work for me and ADV riding. I've not looked at them for about 3 years now but I think the padding is marginally better than the RallyX. I'm still a big fan of motox trou with knee pads and if you're worried hip pads maybe some padded shorts

"Rake like me"...HA !

We haven't seen each other for a while then, I gave up smoking for a couple of years

Anyway... Good info on the Nordics, I don't want or need thermal liners so could just end up with another pair of Rally X. I got the last pair from here >>http://shop.peterstevens.com.au/home but I couldn't see them there this time. *edit...just found em

I had no idea about the shorts from cycletreads either (NOOB !) could be an option

I was wearing cycle shorts but they suffered the same fate as the trousers.

Yes Nordie, I shoulda listened to my mother

she warned me about scissors, riding bikes and strange men
