Foul-weather riding in just a thermal kit or a thin pair of bibs won't likely endear the winter warrior lifestyle to you beyond a single ride. Gore Wear offers a longer-lasting solution to wet-season miles with the Gore-Text Paclite Pants, an exterior shell pant that goes over your riding tights or bibs. The contemporary style works well on training rides and commutes alike, while the 2. 5 layer Gore-Tex fabric steps up the wind and rain protection for enduring longer base miles days along the lakefront. Ultralight, breathable, and cycling specific, the Paclite is custom constructed to the riding position with precut knees, a hook-and-loop adjustment strap to avoid tearing on a chain, and a zippered rear pocket that doubles as its storage pocket for when the sun begins to shine.Gore Wear designs the Paclite to be durable season after season with robust construction throughout as well as a reinforced saddle area.
