Urban bikers and motorcyclists face a range of problems aside from the constant threat of cars squashing them. A big consequence of getting soaked when a car tire splashes into a puddle or hit with chain grease is Trashed Trouser Syndrome. Outlier has a spendy but practical option for keeping your slacks spotless: the 4Season OG pants. Made in New York, they retail for $185 (pre export) and don't look like the kind of pants you wear when you're in an abattoir. Even better they are water and grease-resistant -- and self cleaning.
Trousers that clean themselves? Ace! Outlier uses an outer coating called Nanosphere, which supposedly will cause water and dirt to slide right off of the OG pants. We'd like to test that claim out in a muddy river before we fully endorse these. If it works, that would totally be gangsta. Innit?
