Hi guys,
Anyone out there riding in these?
Only done about 12rides and they are already started to wear badly between the legs along the seem to the piont the outer layer has worn away, can’t imagine they will last another ride before my backside falls out of them.
Seeing as they are supposed to be winter trousers this is really poor, and they are £120.
Any suggestions for a riding trouser that won’t fall apart at the sight of Pennine mud?
Well this isnt what I expected to read! I've got two pairs, but not as many rides in them as you, I also would be disappointed if this happens to my pairs, really like the bib element for keeping the worst of it off my torso!
i`ve not had dedicated waterproof trousers that dont fail fairly quickly in the arse if worn alot.
i like em but i only use em when i really have to to preserve them a bit.
Also they leak water on the right access zip if riding in actual pouring rain. it then runs down yr leg which is a bit grim.
I've got them, probably worn more than twelve times in some pretty grim conditions. Hosed them off a couple of times, but otherwise no cleaning. Still performing well with no wear.
I've had the DTE fully waterproof ones for a couple of winters and worn them loads. Used to wear a Leatt onesie but I find the dungers more flexible in terms of heat management. They're showing a bit of discolouration on the arse from the mud that gets ground into them but they're still working perfectly. So we'll in fact that I've just ordered a pair of the 4 season ones for the rest of the year when it's not constantly p!ssing down.
I had a pair of Madison trousers that delaminated, Madison replaced them after sending a few pictures of evidence.

I'm thinking of doing similar, adding some of the waterproof ones to my 4 season collection since I've been impressed with them.
I have the DTE 3 Layer full waterproof bibs and they have endured some serious abuse. Not sure they are as waterproof as when new (what is?), but other than that, they are holding up well.
As oikeith above, they are my go to over my Leatt Onesie unless it's really horrific
