Product Information

Full details

The Altura Nightvision 3 Overtrousers are designed for adult urban commuters who need reliable, high-performance protection from heavy rain without sacrificing comfort. Featuring a 10K/10K waterproof and breathable membrane, these trousers ensure you remain dry during wet rides while allowing enough airflow to prevent overheating; however, their relaxed, baggy fit may feel less aerodynamic for competitive cyclists or those seeking a streamlined racing aesthetic.

FAQs

Can these be worn as standalone trousers?

They are designed specifically as 'overtrousers' to be worn over regular clothing, so they are not recommended as a base layer.

Are they suitable for winter riding?

Yes, their windproof and waterproof nature provides a great barrier against winter elements, provided you wear warm layers underneath.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Use your standard dress size, but consider how many layers you intend to wear underneath before making your selection.

Are the zippers waterproof?

The pockets feature water-resistant zips, but it is always best to keep sensitive electronics in a plastic bag during extreme downpours.

How should I store them when not in use?

Ensure they are completely dry before folding to prevent mold or odors, then store them in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

Water seems to soak into the fabric

The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the trousers with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer.

Feeling damp inside despite no rain

Ensure the temperature difference between your skin and the air isn't causing condensation; adjust your base layers to be more breathable.

Fabric snagging on the bike

Double-check that the adjustable leg strap is pulled taut and secured properly before starting your journey.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof and breathability ratings
  • Excellent visibility features for night riding
  • Convenient chain-guard leg straps
  • Easy to layer over regular clothing
  • Compact and lightweight for storage

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may feel bulky for some

  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproofing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your overtrousers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Since these are designed as over-garments, choose your standard dress size. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, ensure there is enough room for movement.
  2. Usage: Always fasten the leg strap before starting your ride to prevent the loose fabric from catching on your chainring or crank arms.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically re-treat the fabric with a waterproofing spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
