What the AI looks for in Powersports Rain Pants
- Leg-length side zips
- Zips running at least from the ankle to the knee, with a flap over them. This lets you pull the pants on over boots at the roadside.
- Heat-resistant inner legs
- Melt-resistant panels on the inner calves. Exhaust contact melts plain rain fabric.
- Seat and crotch construction
- Taped seams and a gusseted or seamless seat. Water pools on the seat and wicks through seams.
- Stirrups or ankle closures
- Elastic stirrups or adjustable ankle closures. They stop the legs riding up and exposing your boots.
Brands that matter
- Tour Master: Touring rain pants.
- Oxford: Rainseal over-trousers.
- Nelson-Rigg: Separates that match its rain suits.
What to avoid
- Rain pants without side zips.
- Pants with no heat protection on the inner legs.
- Thin hiking rain pants for highway riding.
