Proviz Men's Waterproof Reflective Trousers
The Proviz Men's Waterproof Reflective Trousers are your ultimate defense against heavy rain while cycling. Engineered by Proviz, these trousers feature a 100% waterproof (5,000mm) material with fully sealed seams, ensuring no water gets through even during downpours. They're packed with reflective detailing, including a strategic panel on the back, so drivers can see you from behind. Weighing just 300g, they're lightweight and packable, making them a essential for any cyclist who rides in wet conditions. Whether you're commuting to work or training on a rainy day, these trousers keep you dry and visible.
Fit and Sizing for Over-Trouser Use
These trousers are designed to be worn over your regular clothing or cycling kit. They have a generous cut to accommodate layers underneath, with an elasticated drawstring waist for a secure fit. Many cyclists wonder if they should size up—generally, the sizing is true to size, but if you plan to wear thick tights or trousers underneath, you might consider going a size up for extra comfort. The lower leg zips (30cm) make them easy to put on and take off over shoes, and the adjustable ankle strap prevents snagging on your bike chain.
Waterproof Performance in Heavy Rain
With a 5,000mm waterproof rating and sealed seams, these trousers are built to handle heavy rain. The fabric is also breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape, so you don't end up sweaty inside. The seams are taped to prevent any leaks, and the zippers are covered to keep water out. You can ride through downpours with confidence, knowing your legs stay dry.
Safety and Visibility Features
Reflective piping and panels are strategically placed to ensure you're visible from all sides, but especially from behind where drivers approach. The rear reflective panel is designed to catch headlights, making you noticeable even in low light. Whether you're on a dark country road or a busy city street, these trousers enhance your safety.
Cycle-Specific Design
The cut is tailored for cycling, with a slightly higher back to provide coverage while hunched over the handlebars. The lower leg zips allow for easy on/off over cycling shoes, and the adjustable ankle strap keeps the fabric from getting caught in the chain. A back pocket provides a convenient place to store keys or a card.
