It's about time i started commuting again now the season is finished and just wondered what folk on here wear for the daily slog into work?

Upto now i've just worn 'normal' lycra but i'd like something more comfortable/warm and was considering the endura sngletrack trouser, any good? breathable? warm? etc...

My commute is 14 miles each way, pretty flat and i intend to pootle in and a quicker ride home.

Any thoughts?

thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™‚

just stick to knee warmers whilst cool and full longs when cold. Can't stand loose and flappy.

For reference commute is 16.5miles each way

singletracks are not very good in the wet.
endura gridlocks are better for a wet/cold commute.

Singletracks work for me too, and I've a pair of goretex overtrousers, although the rain just ran into my waterproof shoes

I have some Scott bib longs - with windproof softshell on the shin and thigh fronts. Ace warm, and quick drying.
