The jacket's had to be replaced, but trousers have held up well. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=784#post-6832 Wed, 12 May 2010 09:45:08 +0000 steveo 6832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What do folk (who bother) use for water proofing on their legs? I could never get into the just get wet mindset, i think i'm part cat, but the waterproofs i've used all winter are boil in the bag and i can't use them if its not -5. </p>
