Are these rainpants suitable for biking?Is there excess fabric around the ankle to get caught in my chain?

Yes, they work well for biking. They have hook and loop closure straps at the bottom of the legs that can be tightened enough to keep the material from getting caught in the chain. I have worn mine for over a hundred miles without a problem.

They ARE fairly bulky, but they would work. You would likely feel a lot of rubbing. I would use some sort of strap on the chain side to prevent catching (rain pants for biking come with a sewn in strap). I personally would carry them with me just in case there is a surprise shower. I'm not sure though that I would find them comfortable for a long ride.

No, they're made to keep you cool so the wind goes through them. They are warmer than bike shorts and with decent socks and warmer underwear warmer than bike shorts

I find them to be reasonably snug without being too tight. For me they are comfortable. If you were to be more active than walking normally, they would slide out of position. Unfortunately probably one of those things you'll have to try to see if they work for you. Hope this helped a little.

I'd say you were borderline. I am 5'8" 215# with a bit of a pot belly - the XXL is snug at my waist but still comfortable because the material on the back side is stretchy. The XXL is maybe an inch or two too long but that's OK on a bike. If you go with the XXXL you should be fine in the length and probably the waist also. The sizing sucks but other than that they are a fantastic piece of cycling clothing. A real value.

I use for biking, but they are light-weight and could be used for hiking. Not as comfortable as shorts, however.

No, they are good to wear over a base layer that is thin yet Insulating. Jeans would be too bulky and too much for the waist unless you go up a size.

To an extent...dont soak them in water if you wash your bike...if your caught in the rain they're ok.

Bradford W. these are great RAIN pants, they will keep you dry from rain. However, they are not wading pants. If you are going to use them for rain protection while fishing, then yes excellent choice, if you plan to wade into the water no, not designed for that.

Yes/No. Yes: They keep me covered temperature wise on my ride to work, but I'm in sunny socal, so the whole climate is wind resistant. It's a thin outdoor/breathable material. No: These are shorts, with a breathable material. Would I use these to bike on a cold Chicago day, maybe, I'm a sweater, so it'd keep me balanced; but once you stop riding/moving around, the punishment would ensue. Hope this helps.

I got the large - they seem to be fine - you don't want them loose it's a pain - I slo use them for warmers when I bike on cool days!

Well I would say they are as stretchy as the usual adult cycling shorts, the material is somewhat thick and it is a proper cycling short not of those cheap stretchy soft light shorts.

They're a bir thick but I think you should be ok. Maybe go with something slimmer

I use the white riding a bicycle; if you believe that's sort of the same range in motion I guess you could. Be carefully not to get them too big (long) or they look like they could easily dig in the top of you feet / ankle area.

these come with rain covers, i have not tried them though, as im currently damned to phoenix. BUT i can say that they probably work great. these panniers have worked great for me, and i would highly recommend them . however, i have nothing to compare these to because ive never owned any other panniers. cheers.

I think that any rain cover that fits a jogger and specifically baby jogger brand would fit this one. And they would be better, potentially. The britax one whips off in wind and isn't a great fit. The ones with elastic edges would be much better!

No - they would be too large. I would suggest you visit a bike shop to locate an appropriate size.

The only thing holding me back from saying these are as good for running as they are for cycling is that they're designed to fit best in cycling positions. They fit best in that position but would probably do very well with running, otherwise
