X5Cape trail pants

[VWsurfbum]

Hi all,

Has anyone tried these? Seem good value compared to some ridiculous cost ones that I see around. My go-to Endura waterproof ones died winter before last and I got through this winter with some old Tenn ones, these look good? So before I go back to Endura any first-hand experience?

Well they've turned up, look very well made, nice feeling fabric.
The fit is, shall we say 'tight' they fit and do up and are comfortable but not a jeggings kind of guy.
I can see them being a very comfortable on a ride but they are warm, which worries me a little. Will update when I've used them in anger.

And….how are they? (Was just looking the website) @VWsurfbum

OK, the main material is great. The flex that goes over the knees and lower back is not waterproof.
So
They fill up from the knee and bum crack.
On top of that the waterproof pockets have broke straight away and went back for repair, a few weeks later were sent back. I used them again after the summer and the zips broke stairght away again.
Very comfy and i've kept them for damp rides, not wet rides (I have a DirtlJ baby grow which id far superior but very expensive)

Ok thanks for that may give them a miss
