My first ones were. Then the crotch stitching went and Endura replaced.

FIRST ride in them today as I was in half a view to selling them with tags. It was misty/warm and rocky with a few standing puddles here in the Peaks but no rain. 2hr ride and...a completely wet arse.

Looking at the interior the water has completely soaked through the black seat/area completely and uniformly.

Is that to be expected?! My others didnt. Can you warranty a replacement?!

Mine have been shower-proof at best...so not really worth it.

I haven't used them since I stopped commuting.

has the water soaked through, or has it used the three big holes to enter and mixed with sweat you have produced?

FWIW i have a set and they keep the worst of the crap off, which is all i ask of them.

Mine only seem to work when it's cold and raining or snowing.

And don't absorb water, so chafe less and don't cool me down as much.
But don't wear them unless it is properly wet.

Wash them before you send them back this time though, won't you (please)?
