Endura GV500 Waterproof Trousers, Anthracite

Endura GV500 Waterproof Trouser are waterproof cycling trousers designed for gravel, bikepacking, and long days in the saddle, but they work just as well for commuting by bike in bad weather. The fit is adapted for cycling, with pre-shaped legs and a narrower cut around the calf and ankle so the trousers stay clear of the chain.

ExoShell40 is a lightweight, highly breathable 3-layer waterproof fabric. Fully taped seams keep the rain out, while the material helps transport moisture and excess heat away as you ride. The seat features an extra-durable panel because that is where waterproof cycling trousers often experience the most wear. It is a technically difficult combination of low weight, durability, and ventilation, but we think Endura has done a very good job.

The GV500 is also easy to pack away when the rain lets up. Water-repellent ankle zippers make the trousers easier to put on and take off, while the adjustable elasticated waistband keeps them in place while cycling. A good choice if you are looking for packable rain trousers for gravel, touring, bikepacking, or commuting and want a shell that is actually designed for the cycling position.
