Men's Commuter Bike to Work Cycling Pants - Chinos/Slacks

Product Information

Although this makes them less useful on the bike, they look more "normal" off it and the fabric's stretch makes for comfortable riding. But these aren’t just practical waterproof jeans. These are beautiful jeans. Even those with the most discerning of eyes wouldn’t label them as ‘cycling jeans’ based on their appearance. Scottish brand Endura knows a thing or two about foul weather, and its Hummvee II water-resistant trousers are designed exactly to deal with it. Unlike the Endura Hummvee II cycling trousers, these waterproof and windproof cycling trousers pull on over your existing clothing, so they are a great option to have stowed away in your commuting luggage should the weather take a turn for the worse while on the bike or at work.

Some of the key benefits of cycling jeans is that they are more stretchy, more breathable and more durable than normal jeans. But some people prefer greater breathability over complete weather sealing. Wetting out the inside of your commuter pants / trousers from sweat is hardly better than getting wet from the rain. These aren't the most waterproof option that money can buy, but the Hummvee range is notoriously durable and these trousers are no different - there are a lot of reasons that these multi-use cycling trousers could be all you need.All of the above features and fabric have been tailored into a chino that is cut to a very personal level. With Spoke trousers, you can choose your individual waist and inseam, and then select one of three 'builds' to ensure your trousers are as close to your leg profile as possible. The result, is that the cut of the Bulletproof Chinos is superb; making them even more comfortable to wear.

You have plenty of cycling jeans to choose from. Rapha, Vulpine, Swrve, and even Levi's themselves make denims for the bike. Resolute Bay is trying to make the ideal cycling jeans, aiming to marry fashion with comfort and practicality. Its jeans are well on the way to achieving it. Classic cycling gear (which really means cycle-sport gear) fits tightly because if you want to go fast, your biggest enemy is the air. To cut through it, you want clothing that flaps around as little as possible, and that hugs your (hopefully) lean and lithe body. The four-way stretchy fabric – which consists of 70% organic cotton, eco fans – is extremely accommodating, although the quite narrow, straight legs are bound to cling to most cyclists' thighs. The main downside to this, as you'll spot in the pictures, is that you get a touch of the old VPLs if you're wearing padded shorts underneath. The best waterproof bicycle commuter pants / trousers will generally have a fairly relaxed fit and will prioritise keeping the water out. While you might find some casual fit options that can be worn on and off the bike, many are a pull-over design that you can wear over other trousers or shorts and remove after your ride.You'll also find that many are unisex. For many women, this might pose fit issues. BTwin says that it's used a more environmentally friendly dying process, giving these some eco credentials.

The Best Commuter Pants for the Money

Capable of shrugging off mud and rain, these water-resistant trousers come with an environmentally friendly PFC-Free durable water repellent (DWR) finish, although that will need re-spraying from time to time with one of the best waterproof treatments. Comfort is of the utmost importance when considering a new pair of cycling pants—gravitate toward pairs that don’t restrict movement and will accommodate any extra padding and chamois you’ll wear underneath. While baggy and loose-fit pants might be comfortable when lounging at home, on a bike, they’re irksome and can cause sagging and snagging on a ride. A great pair of cycling pants will be form-fitting and tapered, so as to not hinder movement, or worse, get caught in your drivetrain. These jeans also benefit from being both water and windproof thanks to the specialist membrane used, you’ll be covered no matter what and kept both dry and warm while riding to work. Cycling jeans aren’t typically waterproof as they are made primarily from cotton. However, some cycling jeans do feature a DWR coating which makes them water resistant. DUER’s All-Weather denim is the most waterproof cycle jean available. Are cycling jeans good?

There has been a lot of talk recently about just how mainstream cycling has become, not just as a sport or as a way of keeping fit, but as a lifestyle. More and more people are discovering the benefits of cycling, especially in urban environments. If you need proof of this look no further than the London cycle hire scheme, better known as ‘Boris Bikes’, the program has recently been extended out into West London, and some days it seems to be near impossible to find one of the bikes available to hire, so successful is the scheme.

This features a flat panel instead of the junction of seams you'd usually find. These seams are the primary reason most people find jeans uncomfortable to ride in, as they end up between your 'sensitive areas' and the saddle. The flat panel design here, often found on other cycling trousers too, removes this discomfort. The seams and joins are still there but they've been moved out to the periphery. The overall effect is that the jeans are a whole lot more comfortable to ride in. What’s more, chinos are typically some of the most stylish trousers around, which means that they’ll look good at your destination – whether that be the office or meeting up with friends.
