What is the hybrid construction of these women's waterproof overtrousers?
These bi-component overtrousers combine:
- A resistant, protective component (147 gr/m2 ; 70 Denier) on areas to be protected from rubbing (knees, lower legs, buttocks)
- A light, breathable component (109 gr/m2 ; 20 Denier) on less stressed areas.
What are the advantages of side zips on these waterproof overtrousers?
The waterproof zip with double slider:
- makes it easy to put on the overtrousers without having to remove your shoes,
- regulates your body temperature.
Press studs at the waist and ankles for a better fit.
What features ensure that overtrousers grip and stay on shoes?
- The lower legs have an elastic band with silicone inside to improve grip on the shoe.
- A hook is located at the bottom of each leg, enabling it to be attached to the shoe laces to prevent the overtrousers from riding up when walking.
How waterproof are these overtrousers?
The waterproofness of a fabric, ensured by a coating or a membrane, is measured in Schmerber or mm of water (pressure exerted by a column of water).
This product has 2 waterproof components (JIS 1092 standard):
- A main component resistant to 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing,
- A secondary component, at the top of the legs, resistant to 20,000 mm of water (Schmerbers) before washing.
How breathable are the components?
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme ISO 1099-B1). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau générée par le corps en activité, donc plus le tissu est respirant.
On considère que si :
- RET < 9 = tissu très respirant
- 9 < RET < 12 = tissu respirant
Valeurs de respirabilité du sur-pantalon :
- RET < 8 pour le tissu principal (le plus léger)
- RET < 12 pour le tissu secondaire (le plus résistant)
How to care for your waterproof overtrousers to extend their life?

- Use a detergent designed for technical garments.
- Machine wash at 30°c max. Don't wash your garment at the same time as other garments that may be heavily soiled.
