New trousers ? Empty New trousers ?

Post by mufynman Thu Dec 24, 2015 11:59 am

Any suggestions to an alternative to KTM  Hydroteq pants .
Most recent model I had collected loads of water in the bottom of legs , so much that I had to skewer them witha screwdriver , and eventually took them back to shop . Plus they were a bit puffy ( that's puffy , like thick )
So what I'm after is an over the boot trouser , not worried about waterproof as none ever seem to be anyway , but lightweight , and made os something that doesn't melt when the bikes lying on me Sad
Found these Klim Dakar jobs , seem to be made of cordura mostly which I think doesn't rip or melt too easily.
About £130 though , although that's only £30 more than the Hydroballoons

My ktm trousers are great. Never let me down. Wore them yesterday & with all the puddles I stayed dry.
That's not a bad price for Klim stuff Muffy.

Can't vouch for that particular model, but the Klim Traverse trousers i got from MX247 when they had a sale recently have been very good so far.
Excellent quality looking, and seem to be waterproof.
They didn't let a drop in, after hours and hours poxy rain on the road the other day Shocked

If you can't try them on though, bear in mind the size of the average American - you might even be able to fit in the kids stuff and dodge VAT! Very Happy
