  • MTB trousers with non-elasticated ankle cuffs

    Any suggestions?

    I want them to go over the top of my winter boots which the elasticated ankle cuff type won’t do.

    I have some Endura Hummvee trousers, but wondered if there are others to consider

    I’ve some madison ones which has a velcro closure but even fully open it’s too small to go over a shoe / boot which makes it a pain if you want to take them off mid ride.

    I’ve got a pair each of Humvee trousers and the MT500 Spray. The latter has a much more generous fit at the bottom of the leg so they sit nicely over my winter boots. The Humvee trouser is a much closer fit at the ankle by comparison.

    Troy Lee Skyline are non-elasticated.

    Correct, and really good trews, but I don’t see them going over the top of boots.

    Has anyone suggested gaiters yet?

    There is a PSA for the Endura Humvees in the pinned PSA thread: https://amzn.eu/d/eQUGCBc

    Madison Zenith 4 season if you don’t want waterproof.

    Well, they’re partly waterproof. On the leg and bum but normal material everywhere else.

    I’d have thought most MTB trews are going to be tapered leg to get the leg away from the chain. All the ones I’ve ever had have been. You may have more luck looking at walking type trousers?

    Keela Roadrunner Trousers.

    Have a velcro bit to bring in the ankles.

    Roadrunners are a good call.

    I have what must be the previous version of the Decathlon Rockriders. Although semi-elasticated at the ankle, they fit well over my winter boots.

    What boots do they need to go over? There’s a big difference between needing to fit over a neoprene cuff vs something styled like a hiking boot.

    TLD Resist fit over my Lake boots but not my Mavics. The Lakes have a cuff like the Shimano and Northwave boots.

    Endura spray are a nice fit and comfy but a very long way from being waterproof. Wet foliage or a few puddles and they are soaked through. Madison may be better product if you want to keep dry.

    The Madison Zenith wet through pretty quickly too. It’s the inner thigh and seat area which are waterproof. It works well for splashy stuff but yeah, wet ferns and heather lead to wet feet from water running down your legs.

    The old Madison DTE are great (2 tone black/ grey or green/ black –  there’s Velcro at the cuff.
    You mean to pull down over your boots not to pull on whilst wearing boots I presume?
    The new Madison DTE is really narrow at the cuff and come up short .
    In any case,  once pedalling your pants will need to be very long to stay put over boot tops. Better get wellies.

    The On-One trail trousers aren’t elasticated but might be a bit too tight at the bottom to fit over a boot depending how big it is. Good trousers at a great price though!

    Hi, thanks for the further replies.

    For clarity, I want them to sit over the top of the cuff of my winter boots (Shimano MW7), not for removing without taking my shoes off.

    Currently leaning towards the Mt500 spray, but there seems to be a newer version with a higher back section on the waistband while the older/current version is also available in places (looks to be £20-£30 price difference)

    My missus is another that’s unimpressed with the MT500 Sprays. Luckily she likes them as normal trews as she doesn’t notice them providing any sort of additional waterproofing/resistance in use
