FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for all weather conditions?
The Oxford Original Approved AA Short Leg Motorcycle Cargo Pants feature a Rainseal DWR finish for light rain and moisture-wicking fabric for comfort. However, they are not designed for heavy downpours or extreme cold. For adverse weather, consider layering or using dedicated waterproof gear.
How do I adjust the knee protector height?
The knee protectors are housed in adjustable pockets. You can typically find an internal hook-and-loop system or simply reposition the protector within its designated sleeve to achieve the best coverage for your knee based on your riding posture.
Can I wear these pants without the protectors?
While the pants can be worn without the protectors, it is highly recommended to keep them in place for safety. The trousers are CE AA certified with the protectors installed. Removing them will significantly reduce the abrasion protection offered.
What is the main benefit of Armourlite twill?
Armourlite twill is a proprietary fabric that provides CE AA-certified abrasion resistance and durability while maintaining a soft feel and flexibility, unlike traditional heavier materials. It is interwoven with cotton for enhanced comfort.
How do I clean the trousers to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; hang dry away from direct heat. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
Are these pants genuinely waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent due to the Rainseal DWR finish, which is effective against light rain. They are not fully waterproof and will eventually soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
What does 'Short Leg' mean in the product title?
'Short Leg' refers to a specific inseam length designed for riders who have a shorter leg proportion relative to their waist size. It helps ensure a better fit and proper coverage when seated on a motorcycle.
Troubleshooting
Knee protectors feel stiff or uncomfortable
Ensure the protectors are correctly inserted into their pockets and are not folded. Allow for a break-in period; the protectors are designed to soften with wear and heat.
Water is penetrating the fabric
The Rainseal DWR finish is designed for light rain. For heavier downpours, consider wearing additional waterproof overtrousers. Reapplying a DWR treatment may restore water repellency after several washes.
Pockets seem too small or not expandable
Ensure the pocket flaps are fully unbuttoned and the fabric sides are extended outwards. The expandable nature of the pockets allows them to accommodate items, but they rely on the fabric stretching.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement
Verify that the knee protectors are correctly positioned. The knee expansion pleats are designed to aid mobility; ensure they are not obstructed. The stretch fabric should provide ample freedom of movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These pants are designed for immediate use. The CE Level 2 knee protectors are adjustable within their designated pockets, allowing you to position them for optimal coverage based on your leg length and riding posture. Ensure the protectors are correctly seated within their internal pockets before each ride.
Compatibility:
These cargo pants are unisex and designed for adult riders. They are compatible with most motorcycle boots and jackets. The internal pockets for knee protectors are designed to accommodate standard-sized CE protectors. Please check the dimensions of any aftermarket protectors if you intend to replace the included ones.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colors.
- Detergents: Use mild detergents. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
- Ironing: Iron on a cool setting (maximum 110°C / 230°F). Do not iron directly on the protectors or printed graphics.
- Water Repellency: The Rainseal DWR finish may diminish over time with washing. Reapplication of a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear can restore water repellency.
