Right, it's pissed it down. Non-stop. I have some Karrimor waterproof shorts that are no longer waterproof and want something that'll turn up from Chain Reaction tomorrow morning for the Keilder thing.

Who's good, who's not?

Endura Superlight shorts are good. Had a pair for 18 months now and they still keep my backside dry as a bone, hard wearing as well.

Looking quickly I can only see the Endura Superlite Shell waterproof shorts on CRC.. though I bought the Altura Attack 3/4 from Merlin:

oh, they come up large. I'm 33ish inch waist and medium is just about small enough, if you see what i mean - they can be adjusted 'down' enough to fit my waist.

LBS happens to have the Enduras in, so I think they'll have to do.

Oh, I thought it was 4. Definitely have to go to the LBS then.

They also have some Scott Paclite one- anyone heard of these? Worth the extra 30over Enduras?

Tinsy- I'll have a mudguard, don't worry!

just get some waterproof trusers and cut them off as shorts, then wear them over yer own shorts....kin get them for a few quid from builders merchants, etc..

Or get sum grangers waterproofer..

Better still go nekid, skins really waterproof but the chaffin maybe a issue.
