These are two good $50 options:
Lighter weight

Medium weight

They did have something a little heavier weight for around $100 too. Can’t remember what that was.

Hope that helps.
I just bought the Endeavor on clearance and went back for another pair after wearing them a couple of times. They are soft shell, so they will soak through quickly, but they dry very, very quickly. They are also slim enough that you do not need a pant strap to keep them out of the chain. Great at blocking wind, which is really what you want.
