HOW ARE THESE OVERTROUSERS SUITABLE FOR WOMEN ON BICYCLES?
Women's cut adapted to city biking in pedaling position thanks to knee grippers
Elasticated waistband and rising back fork provide support and protection for the lower back.
Tighter-fitting lower leg means less wind resistance and less rubbing against the bike.
Integrated overshoes and heel protection provide optimum protection in wet weather, provided the elastic is positioned correctly at the back of the heel.
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.
FOR OPTIMUM PROTECTION
Pair your overtrousers with a poncho or waterproof jacket.
WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE?
Il s'agit d'un composant imperméable respirant (RET = 12) limitant la condensation dans le vêtement.
Nous avons mesuré 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.
WHAT DOES STANDARD VISIBILITY MEAN?
"These PPE visibility overtrousers, certified to the new EN17353 (ex EN1150) standard, enable cyclists to be visible at night thanks to the standardized reflective strips on the calves.
The position of the visibility elements has been designed to take into account the cyclist's constraints, guaranteeing 360° visibility at 50 m at night in the presence of car headlights."
HOW TO SLIP OVERTROUSERS ON EASILY?
These overtrousers are easy to put on thanks to side openings from foot to knee. Can be worn standing or sitting, and with all types of street shoes.
To protect your overtrousers, we recommend that you open the zips when putting them on, to avoid rubbing them against your shoes.
HOW TO PACK THIS OVERTROUSER?
This overtrouser is compactable thanks to a pocket on the waist inside the overtrouser.
RESISTANCE
The main areas of friction in the saddle and overshoes are reinforced by the use of a more abrasion-resistant component.
