Sophie Gordon reviews Floe Trousers

These trousers are designed for mountain biking, with room to wear knee pads, but are good for all-round cycling. An adjustable waist means they fit really well, and the diamond gusset avoids seams in uncomfortable places.

In wet weather the eco-friendly water-repellent coating did a good job of keeping me dry for a while, and if you start getting warm there are air vent zips on the thighs. The zip pockets are good and secure too and the tapered legs won’t catch on your chain.
