The Altura Nightvision 3 Overtrousers are designed for adult male urban cyclists seeking reliable rain protection and enhanced visibility. Their key benefit is robust waterproofing and breathability in a comfortable, layered fit, though the relaxed silhouette may not appeal to those preferring a very streamlined look. These overtrousers feature 10K/10K waterproof and breathable fabric, a men's-specific fit, packable design, and strategic reflective detailing for safety.

Yes, the relaxed fit allows for layering over insulated trousers, making them suitable for cold conditions. The waterproof and windproof nature also adds an extra layer of warmth.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Hand wash gently around the reflective areas or ensure the machine wash is on a gentle cycle. Do not iron or tumble dry, as high heat can damage the reflective print.
This rating signifies that the fabric can withstand a water column of 10,000 millimeters before leaking and allows 10,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, indicating good protection from rain and decent breathability.
While designed for cycling, their waterproof and breathable properties make them suitable for other outdoor activities in wet weather, such as walking or commuting on foot, though the fit is optimized for riding.
The internal gaiters are elasticated cuffs inside the lower leg of the trousers. They are designed to sit snugly around your cycling shoe or ankle to prevent road spray and water from entering the trouser leg from below.
The pocket is described as water-resistant, meaning it offers protection against light splashes but is not designed for submersion or heavy, direct rain exposure. It's best suited for items that can tolerate some moisture or for use in less severe conditions.
This can indicate the breathability is being overwhelmed by high exertion or humidity. Ensure the ankle closures are not too tight, which can impede airflow. If the issue persists, consider if the conditions exceed the fabric's intended performance range or if the garment needs a wash to clear any build-up impeding breathability.
Check if the DWR coating has worn off, which can cause the outer fabric to 'wet out'. If the seams themselves are leaking, it might indicate a manufacturing defect. Ensure the garment has been washed according to instructions, as dirt and oils can affect performance. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment.
Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If damage is minor, it may not affect the functionality significantly, but extensive damage will reduce visibility. Gentle care is key to preserving reflective elements.
Clean the zipper track gently with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Setup:
These overtrousers require no complex setup. Simply put them on over your regular cycling or everyday clothing. Ensure the adjustable leg straps are secured to prevent them from getting caught in the bike chain, and check that the internal leg gaiters are positioned correctly around your footwear to block spray.
Compatibility:
The Altura Nightvision 3 Overtrousers are designed for adult male cyclists. Their relaxed fit makes them compatible with most types of cycling shoes and boots. The design is suitable for various cycling disciplines including commuting, touring, and general recreational riding.
Care:
To maintain the performance of the waterproof and breathable fabric, follow these care instructions:
