FAQs

What is the main purpose of these overtrousers?

The main purpose is to provide an additional layer of protection for your legs against road spray and light to moderate rain while cycling.

Are these suitable for heavy rain?

They are designed for effective protection against spray and moderate rain due to their 5k waterproof rating. For prolonged downpours, consider additional waterproof layers or a garment with a higher waterproof rating.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The trousers feature an elasticated waistband with a drawcord and adjustable lower leg openings, designed to offer a flexible fit. It's recommended to check any available sizing charts from the manufacturer or try them on over your usual cycling attire if possible.

Can I wear these over jeans?

Yes, these overtrousers are designed to be worn over existing clothing, including jeans, providing an extra barrier against the elements.

How should I clean the overtrousers?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Hang to air dry.

What does '5k/5k waterproof fabric' mean?

This refers to the waterproof and breathability rating. A 5k rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 5,000 millimeters of water pressure before it starts to leak, and it allows approximately 5,000g/m² of moisture vapor to pass through in a 24-hour period, offering a balance of protection and some breathability.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective logo detailing is designed for visibility. While generally durable with proper care, excessive washing or abrasion can eventually diminish their reflectivity.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside.

Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing. If persistent dampness occurs, the waterproof coating may need re-application or the fabric may be saturated beyond its 5k rating.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the integrated drawcord to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the drawcord is tied securely.

Lower leg opening is catching on the chain.

Tighten the hook and loop panel on the lower leg opening to create a closer fit around the ankle. Ensure no excess fabric is dangling.

Water is penetrating through seams.

Check if the taped seams are intact. If seams appear to be failing, the garment may be past its effective lifespan or require professional repair.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective waterproofing keeps legs dry in wet conditions.
  • Increased visibility due to reflective detailing enhances cyclist safety.
  • Comfortable and adjustable fit with elasticated waist and drawcord.
  • Easy to put on and take off, even with shoes on, thanks to adjustable leg openings.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for long-lasting performance.

Cons

  • Unisex fit may not be ideal for all body shapes without adjustment.
  • Primarily designed for spray and light rain, may not be sufficient for extreme downpours.
  • Limited pocket access as they are overtrousers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the overtrousers.
  2. Put them on over your regular cycling attire.
  3. Adjust the elasticated waistband using the drawcord for a snug fit.
  4. Secure the lower leg opening with the hook and loop panel, ensuring it's tight enough to prevent snagging but loose enough for comfort.

Compatibility:

  • These overtrousers are designed to be worn over standard cycling shorts, bibs, or trousers.
  • The unisex design and adjustable features make them compatible with a wide range of adult body types.
  • The adjustable lower leg opening ensures compatibility with most types of cycling footwear.

Care:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
  • Drying: Hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the waterproof coating and damage seams.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the trousers are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Re-proofing: For prolonged waterproof performance, consider re-proofing the fabric periodically using a suitable outdoor gear waterproofing spray.
