When the weather takes a turn for the worst, two-way Aquaguard zips designed to slip past muddy boots. the overtrousers easily keep those unexpected showers out thanks to our 3-Layer Barricade Standard technology.
Read more…Boot-cut. Rohan-style. When the weather takes a sudden turn for the worst, the Men's Ventus Overtrousers offer quick, effective protection. The two-way, three-quarter length Aquaguard zips allow you to pull them on over your boots easily, keeping your clothes underneath dry.
The Ventus Overtrousers are easy to pull on, offering a quick change when the weather turns whilst offering the added stretch to help provide more freedom of movement when walking. In addition, the Ventus features the Cohaesive™ waist adjustment with added elastication for comfort.
The Ventus Overtrousers comes with our renowned 3-Layer Barricade Standard, and it stops rain from getting in and is windproof whilst remaining fully breathable. The waterproof outer and breathable inner membrane and fully sealed seam ensure there is no leakage.
To be labelled waterproof and given the Barricade Standard, it needs to have a Hydrostatic Head measure of 20,000mm—the level of water a product can withstand, the benchmark is 1,500mm.
As we know, when it's wet outside, waterproofing is not something you want to compromise on, allowing you to do what you love for longer. So, the Ventus Overtrouser is the best of both worlds—waterproof and extremely breathable.
We have added the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) finish which makes light work of heavy or prolonged downpours. Instead of soaking into the material, water droplets bead up and run off the trousers, keeping the rest of your layers dry, providing additional protection against the elements.
When you no longer need that extra layer of protection, shake off the water and pack these lightweight trousers down, ready for when the weather turns again.

100% Polyamide
We were the original lightweight revolutionaries. Back in the 1970’s we realised that cutting weight without losing performance meant that you can take less and do more. Everything we make is engineered to achieve this.
Low pack size is a benefit whether you’re packing for a day’s walking or for the trip of a lifetime. We continually scrutinise fabric specification and garment construction to minimise the packed size of our clothing. The actual pack size is tested and listed.
All Rohan clothing is designed to be very fast drying – as much a benefit for unexpected downpours as anything else. It’s easy to wash and often needs no ironing. Almost all garments will dry overnight, meaning you can take less with you. We test every item and list its drying time.
Our DWR finish is an advanced treatment which dramatically increases the water repellency of our fabrics. On its own, it offers a useful level of shower resistance; used in conjunction with our Barricade technology, it reduces the tendency of the face fabric to wet out and maximizes breathability.
The Barricade standard gives you reassurance of a high level of waterproof protection. All of our waterproofs must meet our Barricade Standard to be ten times the British standard for waterproofing.
The water-repellent outer fabric, the PU hydrophilic membrane and a protective liner are bonded together to form a single fabric. As a result, these jackets are lightweight whilst maintaining great durability.

Like earlier reviewers I found the sizing very tight. I normally take a 32 - 33" waist and with Rohan I wear 32" waisted items. The over-trousers I eventually bought were "Medium" sized, and even so were just slightly tight around the waist.
I really like the barricade system of waterproofing due to its superb water repellency and its toughness. If the over-trousers perform as well as my jacket I have a really good system for the deluge - when it comes!
My husband is a slim size 30 waist but could not get the small over his knees. The medium were enormous. Our previous pair of over ten years had a front zip and button at the waist. So easy to get on but these are difficult. In the end he bought a pair of ladies medium over trousers which did fit. Why change a good design for a pull waistband that is far inferior.
In spite of paying extra to get them delivered early the courier did not do so for nearly a week, however that does not reflect on the trousers themselves, but I was disappointed when trying them on to find that they were too long and there are no choices for leg length. The quality is good but the waist band also leaves a lot to be desired. Cant seem to get it tight enough to be not slipping down too easily.
