UNISEX CUT FOR CYCLISTS
The shoe covers are integrated to protect the shoes in wet weather, and can be folded into the leg of the overtrousers in dry weather.
Remember to position the elastic of the shoe covers at the back of the heel to ensure a good fit when pedaling.
Our 540 and 900 city bike overtrousers are cut specifically for men and women.
WATERPROOFING MEANS :
- A DEPERLANT TREATMENT
A fluorine-free chemical recipe placed on the surface of the fabric, which allows water to slide off the surface of the component. This treatment can be reactivated by the action of heat (use of tumble dryer - gentle program 10').
- A WATERPROOF ASSEMBLY
The aim is to prevent water penetrating through seam holes by using sealing strips placed under the seams.
- A WATERPROOF COMPONENT
A fabric's ability to prevent water penetration.
WATERPROOFING MEASUREMENT
Impermeability is measured in Schmerber or mmH2O (pressure exerted by a column of water).
A component with a value of 10,000 mm will withstand 10 meters of water.
The higher the number, the more impermeable the fabric.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR OVERTROUSERS?
To maintain waterproofness, we recommend that you regularly reactivate the fabric's water-repellency. You can do this every three washes, or after ten or so uses in the rain. Reactivating the water repellency can easily be done at high temperatures: with your tumble dryer, over a fairly short period of time (around 15 min.). After washing, a thorough rinse is essential.
COMPATIBILITY (LIGHTING, TROUSER STRAPS)
This product has 2 attachment systems, on the back of each leg, to accommodate a clip-on bike light.
For greater freedom of movement, you can tighten the bottom of your overtrousers by using a trouser clamp in addition.
FOR OPTIMUM PROTECTION
Pair your overtrousers with a poncho or waterproof jacket.
COMPONENT BREATHABILITY
Enduction hydrophile (RET=12) : limite la condensation dans le vêtement.
Pour savoir si un tissu est respirant, on mesure sa résistance évaporative RET (test basé sur la norme ISO 11092). Plus la résistance est faible, plus le tissu laisse s’échapper la vapeur d'eau générée par le corps en activité, et donc, plus il est respirant. Par exemple : RET < 9 = tissu extrêmement respirant / 9 < RET < 12 = tissu très respirant / 12 < RET < 20 = tissu respirant / RET > 20 = tissu peu ou pas respirant.
