Ardour All-Weather Pant - Men's

Cordura is a highly durable fabric known for its resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs. This makes it ideal for biking pants, as it can withstand the rough conditions often encountered during outdoor activities. The lightweight nature of Cordura also ensures that the pants remain comfortable without adding unnecessary weight.

Elastane, also known as spandex or Lycra, is a synthetic fiber that provides exceptional stretch and flexibility. When blended with other materials in biking pants, elastane allows for a snug fit and greater freedom of movement. This is crucial for bikers, as it enables them to pedal comfortably without feeling restricted.

The inseam measurement refers to the length of the inner seam of the pants, from the crotch to the bottom of the leg. A 35-inch inseam indicates the length of the pants, helping you choose the right size for a comfortable fit. Proper inseam length is essential for ensuring that the pants don’t bunch up or restrict movement while riding.

Elasticated cuffs are designed to fit snugly around the ankles, preventing the pants from riding up during rides. This feature is particularly useful for bikers, as it keeps the pants securely in place and reduces the risk of them getting caught in the bike's gears, enhancing safety and comfort.

Waterproofing refers to a treatment or material that prevents water from penetrating the fabric. In these biking pants, waterproofing is applied below the knees and in the seat area, ensuring that you stay dry during wet conditions. This feature is especially important for trail biking, where muddy or wet terrain can be common.

To ensure a good fit, check the inseam measurement and compare it to your own measurements. Additionally, consider the stretch provided by elastane, which allows for some flexibility in fit. If you prefer a looser or tighter fit, you may want to size up or down accordingly. Always refer to the sizing chart provided by the brand for the best guidance.
