Design benefits
-
Water repellent
Special treatment that makes water slide off the fabric's surface.
-
Waterproof
The fabric withstands 25,000 mmH2O before washing and 11,000mmH2O after washing.
-
Abrasion resistance
The fabric has been reinforced in zones that come into contact with the ground.
Design details
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.
HOW ARE THESE OVERSHOES DESIGNED FOR URBAN CYCLING?
Keep your feet dry in just a few seconds!
With their fitted cut, elastic bands, rip-tab tabs and stretch fabric, these plain overshoes fit all types of city shoe! Even in heavy rain, your shoes will stay dry.
These overshoes can be used on their own or in addition to rainproof overtrousers or a rain skirt.
Put the overshoes on under your overtrousers for the best protection.
DURABILITY
The zones that suffer the most wear have been reinforced with a fabric that better withstands abrasion. This will make your overshoes last much longer, so you can keep using them intensively for years and years.
