The Madison Protec waterproof over trousers are designed for adult male cyclists seeking reliable protection from winter elements during commutes and wet rides. Their key benefit is keeping you dry and comfortable in rain and spray, thanks to a 5k/5k waterproof fabric and taped seams. A potential caveat is that while breathable, they may still feel warmer than standard trousers in milder conditions. These overtrousers feature a mesh lining for comfort, reflective detailing for visibility, an elasticated waistband with a drawcord for a secure fit, and adjustable lower leg openings.

Yes, the 5k waterproof fabric and taped seams are designed to keep you dry in sustained wet conditions, ideal for longer rides or commutes in the rain.
They feature a mesh lining and a breathable construction rated to keep you comfortable by allowing moisture vapor to escape. While effective, extreme exertion in high temperatures might still lead to some perspiration buildup.
The product comes with a limited lifetime warranty, which typically covers manufacturing defects and materials.
Yes, the design allows them to be worn over various cycling shorts, including baggier MTB shorts, thanks to the adjustable fit and roomy cut.
Machine wash cold with mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. For best results and to maintain water repellency, consider reapplying a C6 DWR treatment periodically.
Yes, the Protec trousers are available in various sizes. Please check the product sizing chart to find the best fit for you. The MPNs provided suggest different sizes are available.
This rating refers to the hydrostatic head and breathability. A 5,000mm hydrostatic head indicates the fabric can withstand 5,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and a 5,000g/m²/24hr breathability rating means it allows 5,000 grams of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
Ensure the garment is not too tight, allowing for airflow. Check that the lower leg vents are not fully sealed if adjustable. Consider the C6 DWR coating may need reapplication if the fabric is absorbing water instead of repelling it.
Verify that the seams are indeed taped and that the tape has not detached. If the tape is damaged, the waterproofing may be compromised. Contact customer support if this is a manufacturing defect.
Ensure the internal drawcord is pulled taut and tied securely. If the elastic has lost its tension, it may require professional repair or replacement.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if needed.
Setup: These are overtrousers designed to be worn over your regular cycling attire. Simply pull them on and adjust the elasticated waistband with the internal drawcord for a snug fit. Use the lower leg adjusters to secure them around your cycling shoes or boots.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult male cyclists. The unisex design makes them adaptable for various body types, though they are marketed towards men. They are designed to be worn over most standard cycling shorts or bib shorts.
