Waterproof jods

[Embers13]

I'm thinking of getting a pair of waterproof jods for hacking in winter (in light rain at worst). Can anyone recommend any that aren't too hideously expensive? Or, alternatively, has anyone tried (and succeeded) in using waterproofing spray/wash to waterproof a normal pair of jods?

Decathlon Kipwarm! They're amazing, actually properly waterproof and fleece lined so nice and warm . You have to be careful not to snag them on brambles though. The only downside is that the black ones look a little like fetish wear so they're not the sort of jodhs you can pop to the shops in after riding (well, not unless you're OK with getting some VERY odd looks).

Ive just bought some of these after 2 ladies on the yard highly recommended them. Im sure mine were £34.99.

Rain legs - sort of cycling things that just cover the the front of your legs over normal jods are great because *not* too warm/sweaty and you only need one pair, not a whole other collection of wet weather jods.

Totally agree decathlon. And yes the black are v dodgy looking. On the up side, when a cat knocks over a cup of tea on you when wearing them - no scalding!

My Toggi Arctic breeches cost £53, bought two weeks ago online from a feed stockist website. They are 'water resistant' not water proof but fleece lined and comfortable. I'm not expecting them to keep me dry in the heaviest downpour.

The decathlon ones are amazing, warm and dry whatever the weather! Just be careful if you have leather car seats, they grip rather well, I nearly faceplanted the first time I tried to get out of the pickup in them 😂

Yes I have these and love them... but I do have them in black and must admit to having gone to the supermarket in them on one occasion... you're not wrong about getting odd looks!!

Are those the jods that say they are for experienced riders riding 2 or 3 times a week?If so will they self destruct if a numpty rider like me wears them, and what would happen if one wants to ride 4 or 5 days a week? Are they slippery?

Exactly this

To be fair, I've got a black pair & a grey pair & the grey are far less fetish looking

A beginner rider won't yet be used to the strange looks and a 4/5 times a week rider wd presumably stink? Waterproof is never really breathable...

ETA: ;-)

 

[Embers13]

May not be suitable for me in that case. I ride at least 4 or 5 times a week, and work on the yard at the weekend

Top marks for best backhanded insult of the day

Where does it say that?

These must be different jodhpurs, I can't see the description either.
I do also recommend Decathlon for waterproofs, though!

Ah, found it! It's right under the description.

They came in s,m,l when I bought mine, with a chart saying it was their new sizing?? I got medium which it said was a 12-14 and they fit great.

I have these they are great but the girls on the yard do call them my bondage jodhpurs.

Yardbird, not slippery at all, they are grippy, I got stuck to the leather car seats in mine and nearly fell out of the car 😂

I wore my decathlon ones for the first time today and they are lovely! Cosy and warm, and survived a few Scottish ninja showers.

Sizing wise, I'm a tall size 14 normally, and I have the size L. They are quite stretchy so would probably go up to a size 14-16.
