it's hosing it down and I've lost my waterproof shorts, my trusty Endura Superlites.

Next time I'd get a Medium - the Small [b]Superlite[/b]s were ok but a little too tight on my 31" waist and a little too short for pads.

Are the [b]MT500 [/b]any better? Do they play nicely with knee pads, they look quite narrow at the bottom?

The [b]Altura Attack[/b] waterproofs apparently size up quite big but they look like they'd be [i]ok [/i]with pads.

What else is worth a look (and is available form the usual suspects)?

I has several pairs of Altura Attack and cannot fault them TBH
I ride mine with 661 knee pads when riding big stuff without issue.

Attacks are great, although a little tight on legs, pads push the shorts up a bit too.
Get the size down as they are large

Madison - can't recall the waterproof (well, waterproof erse) model, the Zeniths are very nice.

add - Addict is the compromise one. Tempest looks all weather. They fit well (well, for me -- I'm 30"/31" and their small - I think - was bang on)

Altura Attacks in all guises are my waterproofs of choice....three quarters for autumn/spring wet rides, full length longs for winter grotty weather and shorts for summer rainy days.

I've had a long lasting pair of Attacks. Like all Altura kit, sizing is on the slightly generous side of realistic, which is nice for us more rotund riders 😳

Gore military surplus trousers cut down. Really good.

Altura Attacks are MASSIVE. I bought a medium, as with a 30" waist I fitted their recommendation. They were huge. I ended up with an XS. This was OK, except that I wanted 3/4s, which don't come in an XS, so I had to stick with "normal" length shorts.
