The Gore-tex Paclite pant is also great! an incredible 11/10!It's possibly the lightest overtrouser I've had, even with the 3/4 length zips. These zips allow us to put the pants on or off without taking shoes off, saving valuable time in races, and double as vents on the thighs which is great in changeable conditions, saving us from overheating. Having a simple draw cord on the waste is all that's needed. Having the draw string on the ankle enables us to ride without getting the pants caught in chain or cluster. There really is nothing I can fault or think of that can add to the functionality of these pants. Simply BRILLIANT!
