Gore Wear cycling rain trousers for men protect your legs in the rain. They are worn over cycling shorts or everyday trousers, or are designed to serve as long trousers in their own right.

What matters with rain trousers?

Rain trousers for cycling need a cut that is not tight in your riding position, and leg endings that can be tightened so that they do not get caught in the chain. Zips on the legs make it easier to put them on over your shoes.

The seat area is also important. Here, your body weight presses water from the wet saddle against the fabric while you ride, and the friction is high. Good rain trousers are reinforced or especially waterproof in this area.

Tip: Before your first ride in the rain, try on the rain trousers over your own cycling shorts and with cycling shoes. Only then can you see whether the leg width is enough to go over shoes and overshoes.
