The Altura Nightvision Waterproof OverTrouser is an essential garment for daily cycle commuters and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather. These trousers are designed to be worn effortlessly over your regular work clothes or shorts, featuring a 10k waterproof rating and taped seams to keep you dry during heavy downpours. While they offer excellent breathability and reflective safety features, the relaxed fit may feel slightly bulky for riders who prefer a more streamlined, aerodynamic profile.

Yes, the relaxed fit is specifically designed to allow you to wear these trousers over casual clothing or work trousers.
The model is unisex, featuring an adjustable waistband and cut to fit a wide range of body types.
Since they are designed as an over-layer, we recommend choosing your standard trouser size, as the design already accounts for the volume of clothing underneath.
They are primarily designed for weather protection rather than thermal insulation, though they do provide a wind-blocking layer that helps retain body heat.
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always follow the garment's internal care label for specific temperature settings.
Check that the seams are intact and ensure the DWR coating is still effective by testing if water beads on the surface. If it does not bead, re-apply a waterproofing spray.
This is often caused by humidity buildup. Ensure you are not over-layering underneath and utilize the breathable fabric by regulating your pace.
Adjust the Velcro or elasticated ankle tabs to find the balance between a secure seal and comfortable movement.
To achieve the best results, adjust the ankle fasteners before you begin your ride to ensure they are tight enough to stop water ingress but loose enough for comfortable pedaling. For care, wash the trousers on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof membranes; avoid using fabric softeners as these can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically re-treating the outer fabric with a waterproofing spray will help maintain the 10k water-shedding performance over time. Always air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damaging the taped seams.
