Rain Pants

[Replay]

ok, i'm kinda pissed with my NEW rain coat, which got my crotch soaked during rainy days this month.. :dot: the top is fine, just that the pants sark big time.. anyone here can advise on a pair of rain pants which is available in the market? just quote what you think is good/ good enough.. thanks!!

[kmax]

i thought u could ask Ah Boy to exchange another one ?

[squarebox]

wear the pants higher up?

Pro Grip! Good when new.

But they don't last long. 1/2 year of use K.O already.

One alternative is to repair the pants on your own by stripping off the inner rubber layer of the old pants and pasting it into the new pair using silicon. That way the leak from the NEW pair will be covered.

i wear it max up, its the crotch area which leaks..

 

 

i think there are some pants which are one piece at the crotch.. meaning the crotch area got no stitches at all.. those i think suffice but where and what brand??????????

[dragonforce]

i think the brand that comes to mind is rs taichi..

[barefoot]

Andre, if u dun mind, LAB's got budget $12 pants, wont last long though.

Nxt alternative would be Utechn's, which there's a review thread in this section. Pants alone cost $15.

I've been using pro-grip for 3 over yrs. After 2 yrs, I use Scotchgard Water Repellent. So far so good.

just get rs taichi drymaster. best investment ever. used for over a year, take care to dry and store properly, now, still dry and shiok no matter what kinda rain. can rain until visor cannot see anything, inside FF all wet, but crotch still dry. only place will be wet is hand area where the water kena blast up by wind.

 

alternatively, go to wild roses at velocity, novena. buy seam grip, it's liquid PVC that comes in a tube, normally used to repair tent seams and nicks, for water-proofing, apply to the inside seam of the rain pants, helps i suppose.

it's ex, but it's worth the $$.

[crazydj]

I just don't get it. I got a FREE Hyper Racing raincoat when i bought my bike. And i NEVER had problems about water soaking inside. Been using it for about a year too.

 

Are you wearing your raincoat wrongly? I'm puzzled.

[scubasimon]

do you wear a riding jacket/pants as well? if no, you might want to look at those that come with inner rain liners. i am using those kind and am always nice and dry.
