I'm currently riding it some cheap, insulated snowboarding pants from Big5 Sporting Goods. They work great and are super comfortable, especially in
the cold weather. I think I paid like $40 for them.

I usually wear some sort of waterproof pant which rarely lasts a week. Admitedly they are cheap ones. I have considered taking a cheap pair of large
jeans and treating them with oilskin or other waterproofing material. I have always wondered how that would work. What do people think?

Lol, I think you should buy a pair of rain pants! Eventually, I would like to get a 2 piece semi drysuit.

so far that is what I keep doing. I have gortex that I use in the snow but I hesitate to use them on the beach cause my rain pants keep getting
ruined.

To keep the bulk down with harness and movement, I usually wear a pair of PATAGONIA 100% waterproof shell pants.. pronounced PATAGUCCI due to its
price.... I put them on over a nice comfortable pair of jeans and when it's really cold a pair of thin thermals under them.
I've also seen those crazy Canadians wearing wet suits....yelling words I can't pronounce, but I'm sure I've said many, many times in my own native
tongue

I wear either my moto gear or I also have several pair of military surplus Cargo pants. Very comfortable, extra pockets, and not to mention you can
pick them up cheap and layer under them when you have to.

Wear same material kite is made from..
Nylon Windpants! Your in the wind(hopefully!) and this blocks it from taking heat away from your body. More so, synthetics are best for moisture from
sweating, puddles or precip (if it may be an issue), and fast drying. Layer with more synth underneath(long johns)in colder temps. Cargo pockets on
pants(w/zip) always good for keys, digital mini camera at the hand, Etc.
Buggy Naked? Hey, I just added that to activities and event list:wink2: But a drag out OBE means road rash!:o |
