Ah, they look wronger than a very wrong thing but they're cheap and might stop the front of my thighs being bright red when I peel off wet tights after getting rained on...I'll give them a go....thanks Charlotte!

I think I'll just go and sit in a quiet room now.

Does anyone make bib-tights in the style of spray-on denim?

They used to be available in the 80s. The Carrera team of which Claudio Chiappucci was a member wore shorts printed to look like denim.

I love Rainlegs and have found them to work well. I have just bought a pair of the denim look ones for £7 - what a bargain.

I admit the denim look is a bit twatish but will probably enhance my appearence such is my normal standard of sartorial elegance.

A chap in my club turned up at the cafe with rain legs.

He looked like an extra from a fetish film. Parents bundled their children out of the cafe. Everyone either stared or were in paroxisms of mirth.

I don't think I'll buy any thankyou!

All the above is true but they do work.

I have given up trying to look cool, being dry is better.

Damn right!

When I wake up in the mornin' light
I put on my jean rainlegs and I feel alright
I put my blue jeans on, I put my new blue jeans on
I put my blue jeans on, I put my new blue jeans on

OK - but on the pendle witches ride, I was wearing black rainlegs (over black longs) for the wet start, and it was over an hour before anyone noticed.

I think anyone not concerned over wearing Lycra, isn't going to scare the natives any more by adding rainlegs.

He should have taken them off. Unless the cafe leaked?

Did he not realise you're meant to wear shorts under them?

Do the general public think you and your mates look perfectly normal, with your lycra and duck-walks?

What? Do you mean that people think that in some way I'm somehow abnormal?

Ah well always did think that the rest of the world was nuts

I'm alright,the rest of the world is out of step.

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #41 on:** 30 December, 2009, 07:43:52 pm »

They have arrived. Waterproof no doubt, cheap certainly but totally ridiculous. Little wonder they were £7. Not that I care

Bledlow · « **Reply #42 on:** 30 December, 2009, 08:46:09 pm »

Now available in fluorescent yellow. Anyone tempted?

Not by the yellow, but if they made them completely out of 3M reflective material they would be great for night riding

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #44 on:** 30 December, 2009, 09:19:37 pm »

I'd like some UV ones for discos.

Notsototalnewbie · « **Reply #45 on:** 30 December, 2009, 09:54:02 pm »

Well, the postman is clearly wearing mine. I returned from the WARTY today (where I would have dearly loved any kind of rainlegs, be they denim, flourescent yellow or leopard print) to find one of those cards telling me the parcel had been too big for my letter box. I might go and fetch them tomorrow.

The yellow ones have been out a while, Tiger wore some on my darkside ride last year.
They were a bit bright

Moloko · « **Reply #48 on:** 31 December, 2009, 12:37:36 pm »

Don't try boarding a plane while wearing them.

Or any petrol garage shop on a Audax. Aaaaiiiieeeeee! It's a crotchbomber!

You've either got a small letterbox or a pathetic postman. Mine arrived today, they fitted through the letterbox fine.
