The biggest benefit for me really is the fact that it is weatherproof. This isn't really comparable to cycling shorts, since they're not necessarily padded. It's a different kind of cycling wear, not a be-all-end-all. I have a good waterproof/breathable jacket, but when the rain gets rough, I'd like to have protection on my legs too.
Also Scrod, I will. I'll let them know Retrogression is looking to distribute also
