When it's blustery, cool, and/or damp out, you want a little extra protection on your legs; however, pants have an annoying tendency to get caught in your chain, and tights have an annoying tendency to provoke stupid comments when you get off the bike to make a delivery, grab a coffee, or enjoy a post-ride beer. Gore Bike Wear made the Fusion SO Men's Pant to offer all the protection you need on those days without any petty annoyances. These loose-fitting, three-quarter-length pants are made from Windstopper Soft Shell fabric, which protects your thighs and knees from light precipitation and wind, all while wicking and breathing for maximum comfort.

• A high back on these softshell pants helps protect your lower back
  
• Light stretch and articulated knees ensure you move with ease
  
• Front mesh-lined zip vents let you unload heat after that uphill trudge
  
• Hook-and-loop tabs at the cuffs let you cinch the pants down when you're pedaling
