Seeking recommendations on rain pants. Needn't be cycling-specific, but must be cycling-comfortable. Suggestions suitable for tall, thin men especially appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

Rain pants? Why? It never rains in NY - except for this entire week. 40 days, 40 nights!!

I use Performance triple Goretex - bought the jacket too. They are yellow (or black) and many riders wear them, even when there is no rain. They keep the rain out, are bicycle specific and functional.

I'll check those out. Sizing on this kind of thing is a concern -- an articulated knee doesn't do me much good if it falls at mid-thigh --- you might call this the unintentional knicker effect -- but the only way to know is to try them on.

Thanks,
Adam
