Those pants look awesome. I really need to get something like those. I have been thinking about getting a pair of the Swrve cordura cycling jeans. I was looking for waterproof shorts for downpour in the summer but just gave up and wear boardshorts and some compression shorts. All the waterproof gortex shorts were too hardcore mountain biking look. Just wanted some plain gortex shorts.
I just wear my levis majority of the time unless rain is in the forecast. Then the shorts come out.
