I commute 4km each way a couple of days per week, and with winter coming
on, I'm starting to think about some pants to keep me warm (and dry when
it rains).
Can anyone please recommend any pants (not necessarily bike-specific) that:
- are $150 max
- are visible without being totally nerdy DayGlo yellow, e.g. have
reflective piping or tabs
- don't flap loosely in the ankle area and risk getting caught in the
chain (or at least greasy)
- either quick-drying (unlike jeans!) or shower-proof (full
waterproofing would be nice but not necessary)
- look somewhat like normal trousers, i.e. not tights
- are suitable for cycling in (albeit at a low commuting-type cadence),
e.g. roomy around the knee and not too low at the back
- aren't just overpants
- are available in Australia
/
I've already looked at:
- Netti
- Ground Effect
- Dean Woods
- Kathmandu (these look OK: http://tinyurl.com/yu5lw but have no
reflectivity. Could some be sewn on?)
Thanks for any recommendations...
