These fully waterproof shorts are what you might call a halfway house between regular shorts and trousers, which for most average winter days are just what you need – long enough to keep the crap off your knees and without the flappiness and potential chain snagging of longs.

3-layer eVent fabric is entirely seam-sealed with bonded waterproof pockets, hem adjusters and a tough seat panel that should resist wearing out when your saddle is covered in gritty mud. Pricey, but we want some.
