In recent years have become a fan of Endura apparel. Have several jerseys now and happy with the quality and fit. This was the first Endura bibs I purchased. Overall, the quality is good, the elastic leg bands are snug, but not too much or too "grippy" and the seems are smooth and flat with no rubs. I would say that the chamois is average. Probably my fault beacuse the description did not say it was a C2 or C3, etc. Not sure I'd select these bibs for a 4 hour ride because of it. I will say that the sizing is comically off. I originally ordered Large (I'm 6'-1", 190 lbs.) per their size chart and it was ridiculously way too small. So small, in fact, when I re-ordered I rolled the dice and went with a XXL. It fits pretty well, but still surprising snug considerined I double-sized up. Granted, I'm a little more built than the average spider monkey rider, but still tight around the lats because the sides do come up pretty high.
These are really well made, plenty of pockets. I'm 5'10" around 170lbs and the medium fits great. The included liner is nice too, used them on rides of 2-3 hours and never think about them. I've been out in upper 40's to mid 50's and they are warm enough for me. Had one ride in misty rain and they did a pretty good job of staying dry. My only complaint is I wish they were 1-2 inches longer for better knee coverage. Going to try them with lycra knickers instead of the liner and see how they work in colder weather.
Have only had one real rainy commute day where I've used these so far, so two rides and 26 miles total so far. I've been injured so have been doing more remote work lately. I have some other Endura products and they've been amazing, especially for the price, and these feel like they'll be similar as far as the quality and durability. Their single walled but the seam taping looks really well done. Legs got a bit warm and sweaty but I've never had rain pants not so that. My only two complaints, which are minor, is that the bottom cuff area doesn't open up much so I can't have my shoes on to get the pants on or off. The second is that they're a little too roomy in the seat area for me, so they can sometimes snag a little on the saddle nose when I'm getting back on the saddle after a stop light. I know they have to design for a certain body type and I may be outside those parameters a bit (I'm somewhat muscular but slender), so can't ding them too much for that. Overall they feel pretty good, though, and would look for these again if they got damaged from a crash... or an unleashed dog attack, which happened to a different pair of pants not too long ago.
I got this jacket for a nine day ride across England. It drizzled or rained every single day so I used this jacket all the time and it kept me cry and comfortable. When it was nice and warm, I shook it out and rolled it up in the panniers and it was ready for the next day. It shed the rain and the mud and dirt like a freshly waxed car.
