| UNISEX CUT FOR ALL CYCLISTS |
The built-in overshoes are guaranteed to protect your shoes in rainy weather and can be folded into the leg of the overtrousers in dry weather.
Remember to properly position the overshoe's elastic behind the heel to ensure a good hold while pedalling.
Our 540 and 900 city cycling overtrousers have a specific cut for both men and women. |
| WATERPROOFING IS: |
- A WATER-REPELLENT TREATMENT
A fluorine-free chemical recipe placed on the fabric's surface to make water slide off it. This treatment can be reactivated by heat (10 minutes in the tumble drier on a gentle cycle).
- A WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION
The aim is to avoid water getting in through the holes in the seams by placing a waterproof strip under the seams.
- A WATERPROOF FABRIC
A fabric's capacity to prevent water from penetrating it. |
| MEASURING WATERPROOFING |
Waterproofing is measured in Schmerbers or mmH2O (the pressure exerted by a water column).
A material with a rating of 10,000 mmH2O can resist 10 metres of water.
The bigger the number, the more waterproof the fabric. |
| HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RAIN OVERTROUSERS |
To preserve their waterproofing, we recommend regularly reactivating the fabric's water-repellent property. You can do it every three washes or after a dozen uses in the rain.The water repellency can be easily reactivated with heat: put them in your dryer for a short time (about 15 minutes). After washing, be sure to rinse thoroughly. |
| COMPATIBILITY (LIGHTING, TROUSER CLIPS) |
This product has 2 attachment systems on the back of each leg for you to clip lights onto.For more freedom of movement, you can tighten the cuffs of the overtrousers using trouser clips. |
| FOR OPTIMAL PROTECTION |
Pair your overtrousers with a waterproof poncho or jacket. |
| COMPONENT BREATHABILITY |
Hydrophilic coating (RET = 12): limits condensation inside the garment. To see if a fabric is breathable, we test its evaporative resistance or RET (based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower its resistance, the more it lets water vapour produced by the body escape, so the more breathable it is.
For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric. 9 < RET < 12 = highly breathable fabric. 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric. RET > 20 = slightly or not breathable fabric. |
