Water Repellent Cycling Tights?

[Tynan]

does anyone have tights that aren't fine in rain? surely there's never enough to them to absorb water and stay wet for long? the nature of the material must make then warm even then?

I've already got the Nuclear, Biological & Chemical suit I needed for my last visit to Villa Park.

Are the pies that bad?

you could always try spraying scotchguard on the front (when they're on), or there's always rainlegs…

I bought a Lusso HT 60 jacket, waterproof, top of the range, and it stopped being waterproof after 6 months. Waste of money so maybe the trounsers are just as rubbish. I shall check out the Bikesters brand.

Lusso stuff in general is not great quality. The padless tights are ok, the shorts terrible and the rest of the stuff looks pretty cheap and none of it is particularly well cut.
