I took these endura pants right off the rack at the LBS. These have been my go-to for the rainy season here. The zipper cuff is nice when you slide the cuff over some winter boots. They will get wet after a few hours in the rain but I don’t notice. So far so good.

Well well...Both pairs have arrived together today ..
Burner left / Singletrack right..and both as comfortable as each other in terms of fit.
I ordered both in large..which covers 35"-37" waist ..and I would class myself as a 35" waist..so the advice from other users on the reviews that I've read saying that they size up slightly large rings true as there is plenty of room for me to expand ! ( not that I intend to ..but hey Christmas is just around the corner and I have been known to over indulge ?.)
I've not yet tried them with knee pads ..but there seems to be more than enough room inside for the Dainese Trail Skin 2's that I wear ..
In terms of styling ..I slightly prefer the Burners which are a little more tailored around the ankles ..and offer a little bit of side of knee protection ...but I'm very happy with both .
A ride review will follow in due course on both pairs ..but unless its a really hot day ..I think my baggies have been retired ..

Hi mate, which pair do you prefer in terms of zipped pockets, pocket size etc? I ride without a pack and keep essentials in my pockets of current riding shorts. Thanks.

Definitely the Burners ..they have become my go-to pair if they are clean ..think I've only worn the singletrack once ..but handy to have as a back up pair ..
Really good deep zipped pockets on each side..and I prefer the ratchet closure to the studded version on the singletracks

@The Hodge, thanks for the review of the Endura Burner pants—really helpful information!

I’m currently facing a dilemma about which pants to buy, and I’m considering the Endura Burner. However, I’m not sure if they’ll be right for me. I have two questions for you as someone who owns these pants.

Right now, I wear BROBECK Active thermal underwear (ankle-length, merino wool base), which is already warm. But I’d like to add an extra layer that would protect against wind and water. During the autumn and winter season, I use my bike exclusively for commuting around the city (mainly rides to work), which typically takes me about 30 minutes.

I know this model isn’t fully waterproof, but I’ve heard it has some kind of protective layer. Do you think these pants would be sufficient for city commuting in light drizzle or a brief shower? I don’t plan on riding in heavy rain unless it’s an emergency.

My second question is about warmth. In temperatures ranging from -1°C to 8°C, do you think these pants might be too warm when combined with thermal underwear, or is it not really a concern?

Hi @Ganymeade ..they should be fine in light drizzle / rain ..however why don't you " water-proof" them with a spray-on reproofer ..something like Nik-wax or Muc-off or the best Ive used if you can get it online is Pluvonin by Ballistol ..
I wouldn't be too concerned about overheating either ..they are quite breathable ..
Hope this helps
Cheers
Neil

Thank you so much for your response and the helpful advice! I hadn’t thought of applying a waterproof coating myself, as I’ve never actually done it before. I do wonder if it might impact the factory finish or compromise the breathability of the fabric in some way.

Thanks once more for the suggestion!

Best,
Sebastian
