Why has a hybrid construction been applied to these over-trousers?
These bi-material over-trousers are a combination:
- Of a durable and protective fabric (147 g/m2; 70 denier) on areas to be protected from rubbing (knees, lower leg, buttocks)
- Of a light and breathable fabric (109 g/m2; 20 denier) on the rest of the over-trousers.
What are the advantages of the side zips on these waterproof over-trousers?
The side zips:
- Make them easy to put on without having to remove your boots.
- Regulate your body temperature
The use of a waterproof zip with a double slide mechanism allows you to regulate your body temperature, and be able to easily slip the over-trousers over, without having to remove your boots.
Press studs at the waist and ankles offer a better fit in line with your body shape.
What features ensure adherence of the over-trousers over your boots to hold them in place?
- The bottom of the trouser leg has an elastic strip with silicone inside to improve grip on the boot.
- A hook at the bottom of each leg allows you to attach it to the laces of the boot to prevent the over-trousers from riding up while walking.
What is the waterproofing rating of the various components?
The water resistance 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 jacket has two waterproof components (norm JIS L 1092):
- The main component is very waterproof. It is resistant to
20,000 mm of water (Schmerber rating) before washing- The secondary component is at thigh level and is resistant to 20,000 mm of water (Schmerber rating) before washing
What is the breathability rating of this fabric?
To assess the breathability of the fabric, the evaporative resistance, RET (test based on the ISO 1099 standard), is measured. The lower the fabric's resistance, the more water vapour generated by physical activity evaporates, and the higher the fabric's breathability.
It is considered that if:- RET < 9 = highly breathable fabric
- 9 < RET < 12 = breathable fabric
Here are the breathability values of the over-trousers:
- RET < 8 for the main fabric
- RET < 12 for the secondary fabric
What has been added to these MT900 over-trousers?
To meet your needs, we have added a fly to the MT900 men’s over-trousers.
