Hi all,
As above really,
Anyone recommend any waterproof bib shorts/leggings etc for road and commute?
I commute 3/4 times per week and am now really bored with having a wet behind every day!
I cant fit mudguards due to tyre clearance so need some help?
Cheers all

Pearl Izumi Amfib elite bib tights if you can find any. Failing that how about an ass-saver or some montane featherlite over-trousers.

I've got some Amfib tights. They seem nice, but they're too large round the waist/arse for me. Never worn them; couldn't really send them back as I got them from the US. I reckon they'd suit someone of maybe 40" waist. If they're of use…? [url= ](Picture here.)[/url]

Not waterproof exactly but I have found Lusso Max Repel biblongs quite pleasant in the recent biblical conditions.

I would say that you need to put your bib fund towards a bike that can take mudguards. In this sort of weather, it's mental to be commuting without them.

Er, hth.

I have a the AmFibs and some Stealth's and without guards they both allow so much water through it's like enema.

As above; get guards or suffer. The type of membrane will make no difference, plastic bags notwithstanding...

I have endura superlite shorts, which I think are great.
also endura stealth tights which I got cheap on chain reaction a few weeks ago, which seem decent

Castelli nanoflex bibs for me as well, they were going cheap at Castelli Cafe but that was a while ago.
