Can any ladies recommend some good ,unpadded waterproof shorts for Mrs .E ?
She's not fussed as to which brand etc.- as long as they look ok & do the job , then she'll have a look .
Thanks
Having looked for a friend there are very few good ones out there. Endura MT500 spray 3/4 might be as good as it gets.
To be honest, I gave up looking for womens. I just ride with the mens Alturas. The cut has enough give in them that they dont suffer too much for the 'short crotch' issues of many mens trousers!
I'll erm ( ahem ) pass that on then.
Thanks
Ha...just ask any women who has tried mens trousers...normally not enough between the seat and the waist band! lol! 😛I'll erm ( ahem ) pass that on then.
I do have a pair of Loeka freeride style womens waterproof shorts, but they are so thick, they are only good if its 5oC or less. They might have a lighter version (mine were a sports pursuit bargin). They are good shorts.
Gore Bike Wear for me.
I love the 'Gore Alp X'.
my ex swears by the madison ones, i can't remember the model (and i bought them for her!) but they're 3/4 length, pretty tough and nice and waterproof.
I have the altura 3/4's and the small is a bit on the big side, I got the Tenn ones recently and they're a much better fit. 🙂 I wear mens 30 in most bike kit as women's specific is silly prices!
Another vote for the Madison's (fat birds can't fly have them), machine washable is a bonus too! Great cut for those of us who actually have a bum and want to fit padded stuff underneath!
The race face thick tweedy ones are shower proof although won't be brilliant in the summer they are very comfortable and warm. I have four pairs (you'd think I'd know the correct name for them). I have a few friends who wear Madison tempest gents shorts. My OH also wears them and swears by them, definitely waterproof and lightweight to boot.
