the rain before they soak through. (Technically: the fabric is circular knit for a 4-way stretch, and is polyester laminated to a non-porous hydrophilic film for water resistance). So they\u2019re great for unexpected rain.

These ones have some style.<\/p>\n<p>And to be fair, if you happen to be in really good shape, these pants would probably be very good-looking indeed (as you can see from the photos on this page). It\u2019s not MEC\u2019s fault that I\u2019m just an average Joe and am definitely NOT in super-athlete shape.

They have an elasticized waist with a drawcord (which I\u2019ve never had to draw, thanks to a well-developed belly). Articulated knees give you freedom of movement. There\u2019s a small zippered back pocket that just fits an iPhone, sideways (but not an iPhone 6). It has ankle zips for easy on and off. There\u2019s a small amount of reflective piping \u2013 although not nearly as much as I would like. The seams are not taped. The pants are regular rise (not too high!).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bluesign<\/strong>: According to the MEC site, this product has design innovations that make it more sustainable and help reduce our ecological footprint on the planet. \u201cIt contains a majority of bluesign-approved materials. Bluesign technologies audits the manufacturing process at textile mills and suggests ways to reduce water and energy consumption and recommends alternatives to harmful chemicals.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What I don&#8217;t Like about the MEC Adanac Cycling Tights<\/h3>\n<p>For safety reasons, I would like to see (a lot) <strong>more reflective piping<\/strong>. It would also be great if they came in any color other than black. I would prefer <strong>high-visibility colors<\/strong>, like red or yellow. However, I may be in the minority here.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I am really confused about why so many cycling clothes only come in black. I often see cyclists dressed from head to toe in black, with no lights, and nothing reflective. And I think it&#8217;s not so bad if I can&#8217;t see them, but it is really a problem that they must be all but invisible to motorists. Not sure WHY anyone would want to cycle while invisible. Personally, I like to be as glaringly visible as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Bottom line on the MEC Adanac Tights<\/h3>\n<p>These are <strong>truly great rain-resistant pants for the price<\/strong>. Of the many I have tried, I would say MEC are the best for this kind of pants. And this reboot means that they are not even embarrassing to wear. <strong>So I would say these pants should be a staple of anyone\u2019s fall and winter cycling wardrobe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For top-notch functionality, and being well styled and almost good looking (inasmuch as tights can EVER be good looking), these pants rate an Average Joe Cyclist Bike Gold Star.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you like this post?
