Directly laminated trousers for touring and commuting.
The Horizon 2 trousers make a fully laminated waterproof suit when used with the Horizon 2 jacket. It offers the same features and functionality as the jacket, giving a rider equal comfort and protection over the entire body. Grip panels on the backside of the trousers prevent sliding on the seat under acceleration or braking, and the use of a YKK slide lock front closure adds comfort to the waist area. SEEFLEX CE-level 2 knee protectors come standard, as well as extremely thin yet CE-rated SEESMART hip protectors. Like the jacket, the Horizon 2 trousers are equipped with the VCS|Aquadefence system. The sizable ventilation panels at the upper legs can be opened while riding thanks to the Fidlock magnetic fasteners, and once opened they expose two substantial mesh panels that promote air directly to the legs. Two hand pockets allow small items to be carried close. Thanks to the detachable thermal liner the Horizon 2 trousers can also be used comfortably when temperatures fall.

* A waterproof membrane does not mean unlimited waterproof. The waterproofness depends on the quality of the membrane. Are you looking for 100% waterproof? Then select motorcycle trousers with a GoreTex membrane.
EAN 8700001230261
Motorcycle gear comes in various levels of waterproofness, which is important for comfort and safety during wet rides. Most waterproof jackets, pants, gloves, and footwear have a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the outer layer. These products keep you dry, but there's a limit to how much they can penetrate. A waterproof membrane doesn't mean 100% waterproof. With prolonged exposure to rain or under high pressure, the outer layer can still let moisture through. This means you could get wet after longer rides in heavy rain, especially in areas where the fabric moves intensively or where seams are less well-protected.
Looking for 100% waterproof? Then choose a product with a Gore-Tex membrane. Gore-Tex is a specially designed membrane that is both waterproof and breathable. The membrane contains microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets to penetrate, but large enough to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape. This keeps rain and spray out, while your body heat and moisture are wicking away. You will ride dry and comfortable, even in prolonged or heavy rain.
In short: regular waterproof motorcycle clothing keeps out short(er) rainshowers, while Gore-Tex effectively protects against prolonged rain and at the same time provides breathable comfort.
