Cycling Rain Pants as Long Over Trousers

The classic cycling rain pants are mere over trousers which you can simply wear on top of your cycling trousers or everyday trousers. For this reason cycling rain pants feature a wider cut and usually an elastic waistband. At the lower legs such rain pants can be opened or adjusted either with Velcro or zippers so they can be pulled over your shoes.

Cycling rain pants as over trousers feature a low weight and small pack size to easily fit into your backpack or even rear pocket. When the weather goes wild you should have them at hand immediately.

How can I recognise good rain trousers for cycling?

  • Waterproof Material: Waterproof membrane fabric is used for cycling rain pants. Their waterproofness is expressed in mm water column. This water column describes the amount of water – measured in mm – the fabric can bear on an area of 10 cm² before the water starts penetrating the material. The higher the water column the more waterproof the material.
  • Breathability: The material not only needs to be waterproof but also breathable. Whenever perspiration or body heat are trapped inside a garment they condensate creating a wet feel. So good breathability always guarantees a good feel.
  • Bonded Seams: the material of cycling rain pants can be as waterproof as you like if the seams are not bonded though water can easily penetrate from outside. The garment as a whole can then only be called “water resistant“.
  • A good Fit: Since membrane material tends not to be highly elastic a good fit of your cycling rain pants is really crucial. Rain trousers for cycling are adapted to the seated on-bike cycling posture. The cut of the back panel is rather long and knees and seat areas are pre-shaped. Because the pedalling movements should not be restricted by the cycling rain pants.
  • Reinforced Seat Area: In cycling rain pants by nature the seat area is subject to extreme wear and tear on the saddle. For the delicate material not to be damaged by this friction very often a more robust and yet waterproof material is used in this area.
  • Reflective Elements: Rainy days are by definition rather dark and when it rains in such dark conditions your vision is impaired even more by reflections on wet surfaces. Good cycling rain pants therefore always feature reflective elements which enhance your visibility in traffic.

Vaude waterproof pants and Endura waterproof pants offer a wide range of high-grade cycling rain trousers for wearing on top of trousers.

Cycling Rain Pants with Different Leg Lengths

Cycling waterproof over trousers are available with three different leg lengths:

  1. classic long
  2. ¾ length
  3. short

It might sound strange initially but especially among mountain bikers and road cyclists with a sporty cycling style cycling rain trousers with short or ¾ legs are highly popular.

According to the principle “as much as necessary but as little as possible“, cyclists wishes are fulfilled as to the over trousers not being longer than the trousers worn underneath, if possible. Whether the naked legs then are exposed to dirt or water is of no concern at all. This way optimal performance when wearing them or moving is combined with optimal protection from water and dirt. There are no limits as to the preferences of combinations due to the different available leg lengths of cycling rain trousers.

Long Cycling Rain Trousers are more suitable on rather cool days for everyday use, mountain bikers and tourers. The perfect combination for cold winter days are long cycling rain trousers on top of long Thermofleece winter cycling trousers. The cycling rain pants ward off not only water but also cold wind and the Thermofleece cycling trousers keep you warm and wick moisture away. As an alternative warm, long Softshell bike pants offer good protection from wind and weather, yet they are not really waterproof but simply water resistant.

Demanding cyclists with a very sporty style – both road bikers and mountain bikers – appreciate GORE Wear rain trousers with GORE-TEX® Membrane made from highly elastic Active-Shell material.

Rain Trousers with GORE-TEX® Membrane – a Class of their Own

GORE is a vanguard in terms of development and production of membrane fabrics. Rain trousers with GORE-TEX® Membrane therefore meet highest demands. Rain trousers made from GORE-TEX® Active-Shell are:

  • super stretchy
  • highly breathable
  • very lightweight

Cycling movements are hardly restricted by these GORE-TEX® Rain Trousers. They feature a close fit and they don’t add bulk. And due to their high breathability they can be worn right on your skin, simply on top of cycling underwear.

Of course rain trousers with GORE-TEX® Membrane come with the above mentioned features that define really good cycling rain pants. On top you get small zipped pockets in the waistband area which also serve as stow-away pouch.

Even if the price of rain trousers with GORE-TEX® Membrane seems rather high they do present a very high-grade product which is robust and reliable when it comes to serving your needs.

Rain pants with GORE-TEX® Membrane are available at Bobshop with two different leg lengths: short or long cycling rain trousers.
