On a wet group ride, the wheel ahead throws spray at the shins all afternoon, and the MILLE GT Shell Pant S11 stops it. These cycling rain pants add AVANTGARDE to the S11 generation, a new elastic, fully coated lower-leg wrap that carries coverage down to the shoe covers and blocks road spray and sticky grit. CORE Light softshell covers the rest with four-way stretch, a water-repellent finish, and protection against windchill. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these over bibs on a morning that cleared by noon, and the ankle zips let me strip them off over my shoes and shoe covers. The same pair covered a surprise shower over summer shorts and a soggy autumn ride over winter tights. On the cool stretches, the light insulation took the edge off the wind."
