TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
HOW ARE THESE OVERTROUSERS DESIGNED FOR FEMALE CYCLISTS?
Female-specific cut designed with darts on the knees to fit your position on a city bike
The elasticated waistband and high-rise back provide a great fit and lower back protection.
The more fitted hems won't catch the wind or get snagged on your bike.
The built-in overshoes and heel protection provide optimal protection in wet weather as long as you've correctly positioned the elastic behind the heel.
WATERPROOFING IS:
- A WATER-REPELLENT TREATMENT
A fluorine-free chemical recipe placed on the fabric's surface to make water slide off it. This treatment can be reactivated by heat (10 minutes in the tumble drier on a gentle cycle).
- A WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION
The aim is to avoid water getting in through the holes in the seams by placing a waterproof strip under the seams.
- A WATERPROOF FABRIC
A fabric's capacity to prevent water from penetrating it.
MEASURING WATERPROOFING
Waterproofing is measured in Schmerbers or mmH2O (the pressure exerted by a water column).
A material with a rating of 10,000 mmH2O can resist 10 metres of water.
The bigger the number, the more waterproof the fabric.
FOR OPTIMAL PROTECTION
Pair your overtrousers with a waterproof poncho or jacket.
WATERPROOF AND BREATHABLE?
This product has a breathable waterproof fabric (RET = 12) that limits condensation on the inside.
We have measured its evaporative resistance (RET) using a test based on the ISO 11092 standard). The lower its resistance, the more the fabric lets water vapour produced by the body escape, and the more breathable it is.
For example: RET < 9 = extremely breathable fabric. 9 < RET < 12 = highly breathable fabric. 12 < RET < 20 = breathable fabric. RET > 20 = slightly or not breathable fabric.
WHAT DOES CERTIFIED VISIBILITY MEAN?
"These PPE overtrousers are certified for visibility according to the new EN17353 standard (previously EN1150), making cyclists visible at night thanks to the reflective bands on the calves.
The reflective elements have been carefully positioned to account for the constraints of cycling so that they guarantee 360° visibility at 50 m at night when car headlights are shone on them."
ARE THESE OVERTROUSERS EASY TO PUT ON?
These overtrousers are easy to put on as they open from the foot all the way up to the knee. You can put them on whether sitting or standing, and no matter what shoes you're wearing.
To keep your overtrousers in good nick, we recommend fully opening the zips when you put them on so that you won't catch them with your shoes.
HOW DO YOU PACK THESE OVERTROUSERS AWAY?
These overtrousers can be squashed down and stuffed into the pocket on the inside of the waist.
Robustness
The zones that suffer the most wear - on the seat of these overtrousers - have been reinforced with a fabric that better withstands abrasion.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
We perform 3 tests on our waterproof products: - Waterproof fabric: We use Japanese standard JIS 1092. - Water-repellent treatment: According to ISO 4920 before and after washing, to guarantee the water-repellent treatment. The water repellency is scored on a scale of 0 to 5 (5 being the best performance). - Waterproof assembly: We follow specific design rules and use a shower test that simulates different intensities of rainfall to check our compliance with these rules.

ProcessDope Dyed
Colour made by dyeing polyester chips, using less water than traditional methods
Dyeing textiles requires lots of water, whilst also generating water waste from the dyeing vats. To reduce the environmental impact this has, we have chosen solution dyeing, which integrates colour pigments when manufacturing the thread. This uses less water and therefore also leads to less water wastage.
