Comments about Novara Express 2.0 Bike Pants - Men's:

OK, so if it's very cold out, you need thermals under these pants, and I do kind of wish they had pockets. Aside from that: Great product. I get a lot of compliments. They look great and they are waterproof. I commute to work by bike, and these are part of the perfect biking ensemble. Bravo.

Comments about Novara Express 2.0 Bike Pants - Men's:

Great rain and cold weather cycling pants. Around the PNW, waterproof is a must.

Just add a base layer or two depending on whether you heat up a lot when riding or don't. I ride hot so down into the 30 degree range, I only need these Express pants and base layer. Anything else and my legs would overheat.

These pants dry out really quick too. So if you are a commuter, they air out pretty quickly.

Like them enough that I ordered a second pair!

Comments about Novara Express 2.0 Bike Pants - Men's:

These have worked great for me, I ride all year and these will not only keep you dry but are also a great at stopping the wind from slicing through you in cold weather which means your not freezing. Only gripe is the velcro closure at the ankle seems a bit smallish for contact area, it works but for me I'd like it to be more robust.

Comments about Novara Express 2.0 Bike Pants - Men's:

I bike daily and needed something affordable that could keep me dry so I picked these up. They only lasted a month before the coating on the inside started tearing at the tape (the tape that waterproofs the seams). If I wear them an longer, they will start to seep water at the seams. It looks like the coating is too weak or too thin for the tape reinforcement.

They are not for daily use in the winter here in the Northwest. If you are looking for something to occasionally wear or something to pack for longer rides, these might fit the bill, but there are also lighter and cheaper options for these uses.
