FAQs

Are these trousers breathable?

The overtrousers are constructed with 5k/5k waterproof fabric, which offers a balance of waterproofing and breathability. While they provide protection from the elements, they are not designed for high-intensity aerobic activities where maximum breathability is required.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the manufacturer, which typically includes measurements for waist, inseam, and hip. Since these are overtrousers, you may want to consider wearing them over your usual cycling clothes when measuring to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

These overtrousers are primarily designed for wet and cooler conditions. While they offer some protection from wind, they may become warm and uncomfortable in hot weather due to their waterproof construction.

How often should I re-proof the fabric?

The frequency of re-proofing depends on usage and washing habits. A good indicator is when water no longer beads on the surface. Typically, re-proofing every few months of regular use is recommended.

What is the main purpose of the reflective detailing?

The reflective logo detailing on the back of the calf area is designed to increase your visibility to other road users, such as cars and motorcycles, in low-light conditions like dawn, dusk, or nighttime.

Can these be worn for activities other than cycling?

While designed with cyclists in mind, their waterproof and windproof qualities make them suitable for other outdoor activities like walking or commuting in wet weather where leg protection is needed.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists after washing, consider reapplying a seam sealant or replacing the garment if damaged.

Waistband not staying secure

Tighten the drawcord firmly. If the drawcord is frayed or ineffective, it may need replacement.

Lower leg closure is loose or ineffective

Ensure the hook and loop fasteners are clean and free of lint. Realign and press firmly to secure. If the hook and loop is worn out, it may need repair or replacement.

Reduced water repellency

The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the trousers thoroughly and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers are designed for immediate use. Simply pull them on over your regular cycling attire. Adjust the elasticated waistband using the drawcord for a snug fit. Secure the hook and loop fastener at the lower leg opening to achieve your desired fit and prevent the trouser leg from catching on your bike's chain or pedals.

Compatibility: The Hump Reflect Waterproof Overtrouser is designed to be worn over standard cycling shorts, bib shorts, or trousers. The unisex design makes them suitable for most adult cyclists. Ensure you select the correct size based on your measurements for optimal performance and comfort.

Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of your overtrousers:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle (e.g., 30°C) with a technical wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its waterproof breathability.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane and taped seams.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions to ensure water beads off the surface effectively.
