Water Proof Pants - A Cycle Commuters Best Friend

Water proof jackets are very popular for cycle commuters here in Hamilton, but not many people seem to bother with water proof pants. It seems to be quite common to take a set of dry clothes to change into, but I find this to be a bit of a hassle.

About six weeks ago I finally got water proof pants and they are brilliant, now I'm not constantly wondering "will it rain on the way to work". I still don't stay completely dry on longer trips or if the rain is really pouring down, but they pants definitely provide a lot more freedom. I always used end up taking the car in winter because I wasn't sure about the weather but now I'm able to cycle comfotably in most conditions we have here.

So if you find the weather forcing you to use your car more often than you would like, I thoroughly recommend getting some water proof pants.
