FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for all seasons?
These trousers are best suited for moderate to cooler conditions due to the fixed thermal liner. While waterproof, they may be too warm for very hot summer riding. The liner cannot be removed.
What is 'Class A Certified' apparel?
Class A certification (EN 17092-4:2020) means the garment meets specific abrasion resistance and tear strength standards, providing a basic level of protection for motorcycle use.
Can I replace the included knee protectors?
Yes, the trousers have pockets for certified Level 1 knee protectors. You can typically replace them with other compatible Level 1 or Level 2 protectors if desired, ensuring they fit correctly.
How do I connect these trousers to an Oxford jacket?
Locate the short pant connection zip on the rear of the trousers and align it with the corresponding zip on a compatible Oxford jacket. Fasten the zip securely.
What material are the trousers made from?
The outer shell is made from Polyester 600D, a durable and water-resistant synthetic fabric.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain waterproofing?
Wash on a gentle 30°C cycle with mild detergent and do not tumble dry. After several washes, reapplying a textile re-proofer spray can help maintain the water-repellent properties.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Check that all zips and closures are fully secured. Inspect the fabric for any damage or wear, especially around seams. Consider applying a textile re-proofer spray to the outer fabric.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Utilize the waist adjustment points to achieve a secure fit. Adjust the leg opening straps to prevent flapping or restrict airflow.
Knee protectors feel uncomfortable or misaligned
Ensure the protectors are correctly inserted into their pockets. Adjust the position within the pocket if possible, or consider a different size trouser if the issue persists across all sizes.
Reflective details are fading
Printed reflectives can fade over time with wear and washing. Avoid harsh detergents and high washing temperatures. Gentle care will help maintain their visibility longer.
