Perfect rain pants

The IceBiker worked with Lou Binik of FoxWear to create the perfect pair of winter rain pants. He only had a couple of important criteria:
  • Cuffs adjustable enough to go over the boot top. (Keeps rain out of the boot)
  • Roomy enough to slip on over a cycling shoe or small boot.
  • Draw string waist, No zippers. No snaps.
  • Secure Pockets (I hate trying to fish keys out from under my rain pants.)
  • Pockets located away from hips where you bend while riding.
  • No seams in the Sit area
  • Rugged, snag proof fabric
  • Warm
  • Wind proof
  • Non Cling fabric
  • Reinforced Seat
  • Stretchable
  • Breathable
  • Oh, yeah, water proof. Almost forgot that one.
The final product also has reflective bands. You can custom order it from FoxWear for about $95.
