Product Information
Full details
The RST Lightweight Over Trouser is designed for motorcycle riders who need a reliable, packable solution for unpredictable weather conditions. These trousers offer an essential barrier against rain and improve rider visibility in low-light environments, making them a perfect addition to any touring or commuting kit. While they provide excellent waterproofing, they are intended as an over-garment and do not offer the same impact protection as dedicated armored riding pants.

FAQs
Are these trousers armored?
No, these are lightweight waterproof over-trousers and do not contain CE-rated impact protectors.
Should I buy a larger size than my normal waist size?
Yes, it is recommended to buy at least one size up from your regular trousers to ensure they fit comfortably over your existing protective riding gear.
Can I wear these in the summer?
Yes, they are lightweight, but as they are waterproof, they may feel warm in very high temperatures due to reduced airflow.
How do I clean them?
Rinse with cold water and air dry. Avoid machine washing or drying to maintain the waterproof integrity.
Are they breathable?
They feature a mesh lining for comfort, but they are primarily designed for weather protection, so they are less breathable than dedicated summer textile gear.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking through at the seams
Ensure you are wearing them correctly and check that no inner clothing is bunching up to create a bridge for water to seep in.
Difficulty pulling over boots
The trousers are designed as an over-garment; if you have bulky adventure boots, ensure you are sizing up appropriately to allow for the extra volume.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and portable for easy storage
- Effective waterproofing for heavy rain
- Reflective detailing significantly improves safety
- Mesh lining prevents the fabric from clinging to clothes
Cons
- No integrated impact armor or protective padding
- Must be worn over existing trousers rather than as a primary layer
- Limited heat resistance compared to textile or leather gear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, pull these over your regular riding trousers before leaving for your journey if rain is predicted. If the weather changes mid-ride, the loose fit allows for quick application even while wearing boots.
Care Instructions:
- Rinse off mud or road debris with cold water.
- Hand wash in mild detergent if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or bleaching agents.
- Hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
- Never tumble dry or iron, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating.
