Agreed except I don’t have a cutthroat to compare it to.
I bought one off here, put a dropper on it and got round BB200 last year surprisingly wellAlso never tried a cutthroat
I have some. Bought them for, and wore them a lot at, WRT and they were a godsend. I don't think they'd go over MTB shorts but I just wore 3/4's and they're super comfortable, long in the knee area and not too rustly.Lazarus wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 6:12 pm https://www.altura.co.uk/search/ridge-tier

I just got a pair as well and out the bag they seem great! Size Large fits my 34" waist and fat ass very well. They seem much less waterproofy feeling than the Madison waterproof shorts that I've used previously which are more like overshorts. These are just like a pair of nice riding shorts that happen to be (hopefully) waterproof.Lazarus wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 6:12 pm https://www.altura.co.uk/search/ridge-tier

Are they compact/packable as an emergency layer? or more like something you'd leave the house in and keep on all day?

I'd say they're more of a wear them on a wet day shorts than packable overshorts tbh (although they're not hugely heavy or bulky). Just weighed them and they're 205grams and pack about the size of a can of Coke.Johnallan wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 1:51 pmAre they compact/packable as an emergency layer? or more like something you'd leave the house in and keep on all day?

SULKS I ordered mine before putting it on here and yet to get themI just got a pair as well
Personally i just wear waterproofs shorts as my default for multi day rides as a wet arse is not pleasant* and they tend to be no more or no less weighty /sweaty than any other MTB pantAre they compact/packable as an emergency layer?
Which road is that Simon? I don't recognise it. Planning another ride through Wales at the mo. Cheers..Really impressed with the 650b flavour (it’s also replaced my road bike)
It goes from Lake Vyrnwy to the Bwlch Y Groes, it’s called Waun Y Gadfa
10/10 for answer detail. I should recognise it as I was there last summer. Went up from Vyrnwy to descend the Bwlch, it's a lovely road.We did it from Vyrnwy on WRT '18 ... jeez that's a loooong climb and a damn fast descent if you turn left at the end towards Mach
Perfect, thank youJurassic wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 1:57 pmI'd say they're more of a wear them on a wet day shorts than packable overshorts tbh (although they're not hugely heavy or bulky).

I never understood the point of waterproof shorts, how to you stop your socks/shoes getting soaked?Jurassic wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 1:46 pmI just got a pair as well and out the bag they seem great!

In a full in rain storm, then as stated, you don’t. Those days when the rain is bouncing off the road, they don’t work. For commuting waterproof trousers were the better option but off road, shorts seem to work well. Great for anytime of the year but three seasons (spring, summer, autumn) they work best, wear bibs or 3/4s underneath and you’ll be grand.Jurassic wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 10:03 amYou don't.rudedog wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 9:12 amI never understood the point of waterproof shorts, how to you stop your socks/shoes getting soaked?Jurassic wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 1:46 pmI just got a pair as well and out the bag they seem great!

Yeah, the shorts are a summer option for me when I can accept having wet feet. In winter it's full length waterproofs and either long Sealskins socks (if I'm riding flats) or my Shimano Goretex boots (if I'm riding SPD). FWIW the Shimano boots aren't particularly good at keeping water out despite their high price and I wouldn't buy them again.voodoo_simon wrote: ↑Sat May 13, 2023 10:15 amIn a full in rain storm, then as stated, you don’t.

They’re great for keeping your bum area dry and clean, which sounds daft but it does make riding more comfortable. I’ll often use waterproof shorts the day after heavy rain as it makes riding more pleasant.
Plus, with them being shorts, you don’t overheat as quick either
