“I got this as replacement for my DOuble Centry Jacket, which was stollen. Similar lightweight and packable material, but unfortunately no longer in lime green. However, the cuffs have eleastic, not velcro, and are too tight. The sleeves are also about 6" longer than any other Showers Pass Jacket that I own. The vening is at the sides and the collar, rather than under the arms and in th ecenter back. I don't yet know if this will work better or worse.”
“I purchased cycling rain pants back in 2019 for the rare occasion when I am on a cycling trip and it rains.
I live in Los Angeles where is almost never rains and I certainly do not need to cycle on the rare occasion it does.
Hence, these cycling rain pants were in a drawer or in a trunk bag and never needed until last October 2024. Shockingly, they failed miserably and I was SOAKED.
My husband on the other hand, had the same brand of pant and was bone dry.
I had to purchase dry leggings to finish the ride
BUT when I returned to the States and called Showers Pass, i was told to send the pants back for evaluation. Then they proceded to tell me the failure was due to wearing and sweating in them and / or washing them too infrequently. This was DESPITE clearly describing that these pants had never been worn or washed before the disastrous ride in the rain.
VERY disabpointed by this lousy unfounded explanation.
Replacement would have been more appropriate.”
“we will see. call this the first impression as product not used extensively enough to comment. excited to receive after hearing such much about. tried on, good fit, tried opening thigh vents and immediately the right pull detached from the string which routes through the zipper pull. not a good first impression after paying a premium...”
Hey Michael, thanks for taking the time to write a review and for letting us know about the zipper pull. We hope you've had a chance to test your pants out in the world and that they are performing excellently. We'll send a free zipper pull replacement to you by mail, so please keep an eye out.
“Quality is good...but sizing is too small for a wide foot. It took 2 people to get it on, then it was way too tight to keep it on. I ordered the XL/XXL, but needed to fit size 14 wide for men.”
“Love some items, hard time with sizing on others. When they're good, they're really good. Only complaint is that their returns are a hassle and I don't fully understand how the third-party, additional cost returns coverage works. Hard to recommend since returns are important if you have nowhere locally to try things on.”
“It's a strong 3. Should be 3.5/5
It's a good product.
However. Fit is strange. Ankles ride up while riding.
Threads running at ankles. New product.
I just went back to my Transit pants. But baggier, but does everything these do without the little headaches.
Had really high expectations I guess.”
“I first ordered a large, but that was too big so I returned and exchanged it for a medium. The medium’s sleeves are a bit too short. I still have the first jacket that I ever bought and the sleeves on a medium were perfect. I guess I will need to find a different company to buy bicycle rain gear from.”
“It hasn't even rained significantly yet. I can't write an honest review of the product but that doesn't stop the emails from pushing me to write a review.”
