Endura

Amazing shoes for keeping warm and dry in mud season. I purchased these once seeing 2 inches of rain followed by 30F temps with 20MPH winds for this years Natchaug Epic gravel fondo in CT. Read great reviews and figured the Scots knew a thing or two about cold wet conditions. They are quite tight with the Large size barely fitting over a pair of 43 Fizik Terras, but nice and snug once zipped up. Unfortunately the zipper on the left boot failed when I first put them on but BikeTiresDirect sent a replacement the next day. Second pair had no issues.

Once on they protect your shoes well and are much sturdier than road booties. My cleats poke out enough to properly hike a bike and the rubber up front helps grip too.

On bike they do an amazing job isolation you from wind and water. Our route had icy puddles up to the pedals within the first 2 miles and while others had to swap socks out or complained of freezing toes I was fine over the course of a 5 hour ride. Never felt the wind and any water that may have splashed in the top didnt make an impact with wool socks underneath. When our group missed a turn and had to do an extended hike a bike i had no issues slipping on wet rocks.

Fantastic product and great support for BikeTiresDirect! Just be careful with sizing and putting them on.

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.

The Endura Men's GV500 Reiver Jerseys are my favorites of all my jerseys and I have several! The fit is snug it perfect, not too tight nor too loose and the material is very stretchy. I love all the pockets, I go on long rides early in the morning so I am often pulling off layers as the morning progresses and these jerseys give me plenty of space to store said layers. They are nice looking with a classic appearance. I purchased four different colors. Oh and they feel really good once you have worked up a good summer sweat managing the transfer very well.

Endura always has you covered and sheltered from the elements! This jacket is toasty but vents heat so it's perfect for long rides on paved roads but durable enough to take you off the beaten path for gravel adventures. This jacket isn't completely waterproof but it's water resistant. If it's below freezing I can wear this with a thick, thermal base layer and I'm good to go, it's great to avoid too many layers that feel cumbersome and restrictive. I followed the sizing chart and I'm very happy with the overall fit. The cinched sleeves are a great detail and it's easy to roll my sleeve up and down to check my watch.

I'm also a bike commuter and have enjoyed wearing this for warmth and visibility as I run errands this Winter. The neon yellow and the reflective bits make me feel seen on the road. I even get compliments on it from people at the shops and bank! Too bad it's usually got some bike grease on it but that's a me problem.

Endura's also taken care of all the details that elevate a piece of kit from good to great. The Endura logo shaped grips at the hem, the lined pit zips, and the pockets! The pockets! The pockets are amazing! The front zippered pocket is perfect for ID, insurance card, and some cash. Then there's an additional zippered pocket on the back! The spacious pouches on the back are easy to retrieve my phone and snacks from then shove wrappers back into when I'm done.

Outdoor outfitters should be the most committed to sustainability; lots of love to Endura for eliminating PFC's which are all too common in outdoor apparel!
