Endurance test: Pearl Izumi Elite Barrier WXB rain trousers
Feels like swimming trunks and looks like new after many washes.

When I arrived at one of our Ritzelschinder rides with the Pearl Izumi rain trousers, a mate just said: "Are you riding in swimming trunks now?" The very comfortable and soft fabric of the two-layer trousers gave this impression at first glance. However, you don't hear any rustling or rustling when riding. The drawstring on the waistband is easy to adjust. After four months of mud and muddy conditions and many washes, the entire trousers, including the reinforced seat, look like new.


CONCLUSION: successful, short rain trousers that take up little space in your rucksack thanks to their small pack size; extremely robust.
