Long zips, sometimes up to the knee or hip, make it easy even with walking boots. Without zips you usually need to take your shoes off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size overtrousers should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOvertrousers go over other clothes, so many people choose their usual size or one size up. Check the length while seated: on the bike the hem rises, and it should still cover the top of your shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-in shoe covers or separate overshoes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in shoe covers are quick: one item, on in one go. Separate overshoes fit more shoe types and work with any trousers. If you mainly cycle short distances in town, the built-in version is often handier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBib or waist overtrousers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBib trousers come up over your stomach and stay put when you bend or lean forward on the bike. Waist versions are lighter and quicker on and off. For long rides or outdoor work, many people go for bib trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo waterproof trousers make you sweat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey can, especially when you cycle hard. Breathable fabric and leg zips you can open a little help. A poncho over your overtrousers is another option, because more air moves underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/glode.us\/collections\/waterproof-overtrousers.oembed","provider":"Gløde ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
