PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Poseidon 2 GTX trousers are the perfect complement to the aptly name jacket. Though, it’s a standout piece on its own. Taking into account its name, “Poseidon,” Greek god of the sea and the waters, you know just from its title that it has something to do with water. In this case, it’s to keep the water out and you warm, dry and protected.
The outer shell is constructed by mixing 2-layer and 3-layer GORE-TEX
® fabrics, which reduce water pick-up to a minimum. The fabric then provides not only the highest level of waterproofing but breathability, too. This way, no matter how wet it gets out there on the road, your skin can still breathe comfortably. And keep you keep feeling good regardless of what the weather is doing.
On-demand airflow is provided by our patented VCS|aquadefence (Ventilation Control System). When opened, it provides ventilation to the legs. But if things take a turn for the worse, it’s very easy to close and is 100% waterproof.
With the Poseidon 2 GTX Trousers, you get protection against the elements and also protection against the road. Our award-winning SEEFLEX
™ CE-level 2 armor comes standard at the knees, and at the hips, we’ve included the breathable and flexible CE-level 1 SEESMART
™.
These are the most comprehensive, high-performance, directly laminated GORE-TEX
® trousers with on-demand airflow we’ve ever brought to the market. Knowing how many satisfied users are already out there loving their first-generation Poseidon GTX garments, we’re confident that its successor will reach an even larger audience.

Waterproofing
2L GORE-TEX fabric
By laminating the GORE-TEX membrane to the fabric, a 100% waterproof, windproof and highly breathable outer shell is created, offering unsurpassed durable wearer comfort.
3L GORE-TEX fabric
Insulation
Detachable thermal liner
Ventilation
Aquadefence panels on upper legs
When opened the aquadefence system allows direct ventilation to the body. When the zipper or panel is closed, it presses onto the incorporated rain gutter, the jacket is then 100% wind- and waterproof. When the panel or zipper is closed the rain gutter will stop the water from entering via the ventilation holes, thereby keeping you dry and comfortable. (EU patent EP 2574249, US patent US 13/630.520)
VCS|Panel with FidLock® magnetic fastener on upper legs
Removable panels for optimum ventilation. Ventilation is nice on warmer days, but not as desirable in cold weather. The panels can be kept open due to the FidLock magnetic Fastener. The Fidlock
® magnetic fastener not only uses the attraction but also the repulsion of magnets. This leads to a robust closure with high locking strength that can still be easily opened with one hand while riding.

Outer shell material
2L nylon 400D GORE-TEX fabric
This fabric is made of rugged 400 denier high-tenacity nylon that delivers superior abrasion and tear resistance. Laminating the GORE-TEX membrane to the nylon fabric creates a 100 percent waterproof, windproof and highly breathable outer shell that offers excellent wearer comfort.
3L GORE-TEX Pro Armacor fabric
The 3L GORE-TEX Pro Armacor fabric technology utilizes a blend of high-tech fibers that offer excellent tear and abrasion resistance, while still being light in weight and allowing mobility and flexibility.
3L GORE-TEX PRO nylon 400D fabric
GORE-TEX shells are made for riding in extreme conditions. The fabric is made of rugged 400 denier high-tenacity nylon that delivers superior abrasion and tear resistance. A high-performance GORE-TEX membrane is bonded to a tough outer material and a specially developed, robust inner lining makes it a 3-layer. The benefits of a 3 layer are less water pick up of the outer layer which results in breathable comfort for all weather conditions.
Sure grip
Sure grip fabric or leather features a special, texturized print, which offers an excellent grip under high-performance riding conditions.
Visibility
Laminated reflection at calves
Reflection panels ensure excellent visibility at all angles, allowing the wearer to be seen from all directions. To offer a more sophisticated look, the reflection panels are welded to the fabric. This welding process also eliminates stitching seams, making the garments safer.
