It is perfectly fine for these waterproof motorcycle trousers to feel a little ambitious. The GORE-TEX®-membrane provides a solid base and with the right amount of elasticity, the Horizon-GTX also scores high on the comfort scale.
An additional asset is how the Horizon-GTX is available in long and in short sizes, and in a lady’s version.
The GORE-TEX®-membrane has been integrated in the wear and tear-resistant outer layer of these motorcycle pants. The outer layer consists of 8% elasticated inserts (groin and upper legs) which contribute to comfort, ease of use and fit, in this 2-in-1. Even though the Horizon-GTX appear to be quite neutral, not really extraordinary motorcycle trousers, they do hide a number of remarkable assets underneath. The breathing, waterproof GORE-TEX-z-liner-membrane that’s been integrated ties everything together to become close to the perfect pair of motorcycle pants. A thermal lining offers a remedy for the cold months of the year, turning the Horizon-GTX motorcycle trousers in a versatile travel companion. In summer, you simply slide open the ventilation zips. There’s two on the upper legs.
You can adjust to your liking in the waist (Velcro) and at the end of the pant legs (Velcro and zip) but with a wide variety of sizes covering the entire male and female spectrum, there should be one pair that’s ‘close to perfect’. Then, the zip (and Velcro) at the pant leg become a way to get in and out of them easily with your motorcycle boots still on.
There’s impact protection in the form of knee protectors (level 2, EN1621-1:2012) that are adjustable in height. The ‘impacTec ETP-03’-hip protectors (EN1621-1:2012, level 1) are standard in motorcycle trousers of this calibre.
You’ll find a couple of clearly reflective strips on the lower legs. There’s anti-skid on the seat and the connecting zipper with met iXS Magnetic-system almost begs to be attached to the Horizon-GTX motorcycle jacket.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
