Ben tested Endura’s MT500 Spray Trouser to see if they can stand up to the wettest British winter in years.

Gone are the days when if you wanted to be warm while riding, you’d need to get yourself some tight-fitting downhill pants. The Endura MT500 Spray Trouser is part of the new wave of light, comfortable full length numbers that keep the worst of the elements off you.

Being based in Scotland, Endura should know a thing or two about keeping you warm and dry on the trails.

The MT500 Spray Trousers are packed full of well thought out features to keep you comfortable out on the trails. The legs are slightly articulated to work on the bike and the ankles taper in to a slim fit, keeping crap out and reducing any flapping material. The fit is slightly more relaxed than other riding trousers I have used from TLD and O’Neal without being baggy, but I do have beefy thighs. If you have skinny legs then these may be a bit flappy.
