The brand believes they can even be used for skiing on warmer days

I imagine wearing denim, on a snowy winter mountain would be a sure fire way to get hypothermia.

Meh. For technical hooning maybe not for just ****ing about on bikes... What's the issue better than your arse hanging pot your skinnies.

Also dungarees in general are great.

If Brant starts making those, they'll be the ultimate STW attire.

See, now, interestingly, waaaaaaaay back in the day when I were a young Scout, we had a talk and a slideshow from a fella who ran a scout group in the Canadian Rockies. In all the phots of his scouts on their very wintery camp, they're all wearing jeans and big lined denim jackets.

Now, we were all kinda shocked, as it had been drilled into us that jeans and denim were A Bad Thing when it came to outdoorsy wear, but he explained that where they were it is proper cold, so the snow isn't 'wet', it's powder, so denim is ideal as it's windproof, breathable, and the snow powder just brushes off.

I think they are quite nice.  Is the problem that they aren't boot cut and from gap? 🙂

So, who is up for the Rapha mtb wear then?

I think it's more of a Table Mountain ****, and we've been on the plateau for a while now, TBH.

Pah that's nowt. Back in the 70s I used to climb in brushed cotton loons. That was on grit of course. Jeans for Llanberis.

Anyhow, dungarees (sort of)?
