My want was always long waterproof trousers with a high back and built in braces so no need to tighten at the waist,and let hot air out. Could they zip up to the knee to put pads on, insane. Could they flare at the bottom a bit to deflect water over the shoe, could they have a loop to clip onto the laces, could the shin be properly waterproof.
Yes they could and they’d be £200 so I’m out.
Also, turn up to any trail center, popular riding or bpw, general mtb fashion is terrible in terms of looks.
"Unique" is how one of my colleagues described the 'fashion' on show at a DH race she found herself at by accident. And she's a roadie...

Madison DTE? They're starting to show up on sale in various places. £140 is still a lot but based on everything else Madison I've used, I reckon they're probably worth it. Being able to choose different leg lengths is worth paying for on its own.
There's a POC alternative if you want to spend £400... They're erm, not a subtle look though.
I'd design clipless shoes that are actually wide at the toes. Like Altra running shoes.
Also shorts that stop just above the knee for people who are not 7 foot tall.
