I bought 2 of the Endura Men's 6 panel shorts, then went back and ordered 2 more on sale. I bought them for trainer rides this winter, but I will be wearing these out in the wild (as opposed to just the garage) come spring. The pad is low profile and much better than other shorts that I've bought for the trainer. Comfort and fit are good. I bought a large and I'm 5'8 and (unfortunately) 185 lbs right now. They might be even better if I lose some weight. Regardless, excellent value and surprisingly happy with them.
Haven't had a chance to check how rainproof these gloves are but wore them just once on a cool cloudy day with light sprinkles. I suspect they will keep my hands dry. But . . . their fit is small, quite small. Further, the inner portion of the glove, made of a felt-like material pulled partially out when I removed my hands. It took several minutes to get the gloves back to their original state. I'll try again soon as an extended period of rain is forecast.
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.
