Rather than moaning about the weather, Scottish apparel specialist Endura is suggesting that riders treat themselves to some high performance waterproof cycling kit as the winter season approaches. In addition to cycling jackets, the all-weather experts also do waterproof legwear for mountain bikers, road cyclists and commuters. Endura’s leg wear range includes shorts, 3/4s, full length pants, overtrousers and biblongs.
MT500 WP Pant – RRP £114.99
For mountain biking, Endura now offers a full length version of the popular MT500 Waterproof Shorts, the premium, fully seamsealed MT500 Waterproof Pants. These lightweight, low noise performance MTB pants ‘pack smaller than a can of Irn Bru’, so they will easily fit in a backpack for changeable conditions or long rides in the mountains.
Hummvee WP Pant – RRP £74.99
For MTB, commuters and CX, the new Hummvee Waterproof Pants are versatile thanks to their full length 2way zip which makes them ‘super easy to put on and off’. Made from lightweight, low noise, waterproof, breathable fabric, they are also fully seam-sealed and equipped with a durable stretch seat panel.
Stealth-Lite II Biblong – RRP £159.99
For road cycling, Endura’s new Stealth-Lite II Biblongs offer fully wind and waterproof protection without inhibiting performance thanks to an ‘ultrasonically welded construction with stretch seam taping’. Using a new fabric, according to Endura the updated version of this popular piece now has significantly improved stretch and breathability.
Laser cut and bonded ankle zippers with snapdown pullers allow snug fit over overshoes. Further details of this wet weather riding essential include Thermolite upper body with mesh panels and front zip, reflective ankle patches and reflective Endura logo on thigh for excellent visibility.
More mesh on the upper body also make the updated Stealth-Lite II Biblongs lighter and faster wicking.
Thermolite Full Zip Leg Warmers – RRP £29.99
For cyclocross and ‘any type of riding’, the Thermolite Full Zip Leg Warmers are strictly speaking not waterproof legwear. Although, according to Endura, these are perfect accessories for winter riding, especially for warming up for a CX race.
Their name gives away their ‘secret power’: they feature a full length zip, so no need to remove cycling shoes. They are made from Thermolite with high performance Repel Teflon fabric protector for ‘ultimate weather comfort with durable water repellency’.
