Comments about Novara Stratos Bike Rain Pants - Women's:

God knows properly fitting WOMEN'S rain gear is hard to come by. These don't make your butt look like a trash bag. yey!

My only issue was that the pair that fit me on the leg size and butt are a bit tight for my waist and a smidge shorter then I'd like.

I could have gone a size up and both of those would have been fine, but those pants were a bit baggy and if I'm forking over this much cash for rain pants, they better look VERY good on me. The whole point of this expenditure, other then staying dry, was to avoid trash bag butt. I could just stay dry for much less.

So I went a size down. It was my choice to go with small I guess, but they could have made the mediums tighter and these would be 5 stars.

Water wise, they are great. They keep my legs 100% dry even in torrential rain. they are super durable and the stretch panels on the knees make them comfy. 4 stars for that. I also love the reflective piping and cute little "never a bad time to ride" zipper pull. <3.

I just wish the ankle zippers were longer to fit over non-cycling specific shoes (like my canvas boots) and they had made the mediums not so baggy. More pockets would be nice too, but overall, great durable rain gear that fits way better then most on a girl. JUST SAY NO TO TRASH BAG BUTT!!!!

Comments about Novara Stratos Bike Rain Pants - Women's:

Good product - I'm pleased and would buy again. I had a pair of similar pants from another company but they were not created to withstand the friction of a bike seat and the seat part lost it's water resistance which rendered them useless. I've only owned these for a month or so, so we'll see if they hold up better! The only thing I miss about my old pants is the many side/front pockets. These pants have only back pockets, which seems pointless since I don't intend on sitting on the items I want to carry!

  • Waist:
  • Feels true to size
  • Length:
  • Feels true to length

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
