I'm after a pair which will do the job of keeping my booty dry and will last, any suggestions and experiences? Thanks

Altura Attack for me- I've got 2 pairs, they've been put through the ringer and come through well. I managed to rip the bum of one, but to be fair I also ripped my actual bum in the same crash so, can't complain too much! The older pair's finally pretty much worn out, the fabric's noticably gone thin in the bum, I'll get another pair to replace them for sure.

I'm no pedant, but I'm guessing a "w" in this case might save a world of pain 😉

Endura MT500 'spray' baggies are my go-to bottom half in all but that week in June when its not bogging wet everywhere in the country.

Once experienced, its very nice riding in the wet yet with out a butt-crack full of mud and gravel.

They seem significantly better made than Humvees and the other cheaper Endura stuff too.

I like.

Took me a while, but once I saw your genius, there was some chuckling to be had 😀

I'm looking at buying some Endura MT500. How is the sizing? I'm a 36 waist and use XL Humvees, but CRC says L for my waist size.

Ex-army goretex trousers off fleabay, cut to desired length then hemmed and belt loops added by mother in law. Dry bum for less than £20.
