Once you get wet while riding it remains uncomfortable for a long time. Elite 2 Rain Pants are ready to take on wet conditions that would stop lesser riders. An elastic band, with suspenders, ensures that they will not sag down exposing clothing to rain. Main pant construction is nylon with a mesh liner. A base layer or full gear fits easily under these pants without bunching or binding. Heat shields protect lower pant legs from high engine temps. Elite 2 Rain Pants are a great alternative to risking hypothermia while riding wet.
