If you are determined to hit the road despite the storm clouds overhead then the Patagonia Dirt Roamer Storm Pants can be an essential piece of travel gear. Lightweight and compact , Dirt Roamer can be folded without taking up the entire main compartment of a 14-liter daypack and then pedal in the rain with a fully waterproof casing. But Dirt Roamer is more than that than just an emergency barrier as nylon ripstop is combined with stretch fabric providing range of motion on the bike so you can grind the trails not pants. Patagonia adds a little more durability in high-use areas such as knees, seat and crotch to reduce wear. And a comfortable knit lining on the inside acts as a barrier to sweat and reduces stickiness. which is formed during intensive cycling in ordinary rain pants.
