    Hey,

    Any recommendations on waterproof leggings/tights. I have a pair of trousers but there a bit baggy and have torn off the chainring.

    Sportful do some "no rain" stuff, but you have to hand in your man-card when you buy them.

    I use lusso max repel bib tights and have back up pair of jagged tights, lusso's are more water resistant but keep wind chill out

    I have a pair of Santini H2O and a similar pair of Giordana G-Shield. Both are great with very good, comfy paddings. Not waterproof obviously and barely water resistant in the current climate, but they keep you warm.

    Though if the Santini are called H2O, then I'd have thought rather than obviously not waterproof, that'd be their sellling point.

    I would describe the H2O as "good with dealing with water". Giordana GShield is made from very same material. I believe the NanoFlex by Castelli is probably also similar.
