FAQs
Are these pants suitable for summer riding?
These pants include a fixed thermal liner, making them best suited for three-season riding (spring, autumn, winter). For hot summer weather, ventilation might be limited, and dedicated summer riding pants may be more comfortable.
What type of protection do these pants offer?
The pants come equipped with certified CE level 1 knee protectors. They also feature overlays in key areas for enhanced abrasion resistance. The garment itself is class A certified (EN 17092-4:2020).
Can I remove the thermal liner?
No, the thermal liner is fixed and cannot be removed. These pants are designed with the liner integrated for consistent warmth and waterproofing.
How do I clean the pants?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Remember to remove the knee protectors before washing and avoid bleaching or tumble drying. Hang them to dry.
Are hip protectors included or can they be added?
Hip protectors are not included with these pants, and the product description does not specify the ability to add them. These are entry-level pants focused on knee protection.
What does 'WP' stand for?
WP typically stands for 'Waterproof', indicating the pants are designed to offer protection against water and keep the rider dry.
How do I know if my Oxford jacket is compatible with the connection zip?
Look for a short connection zip on your Oxford jacket. If it has one, it is likely compatible with the pants. Consult your jacket's manual or product description for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress during heavy rain
Ensure the main zipper and any pocket zippers are fully closed. Check the integrity of the waterproof liner and seams. Consider applying a fabric re-proofer to the outer shell. Ensure the connection zip to the jacket is securely fastened if applicable.
Pants feel too tight or too loose
Utilize the waist and leg opening adjustment points to fine-tune the fit. Ensure the knee protectors are correctly positioned and not causing discomfort or restriction.
Thermal liner feels insufficient in very cold weather
The fixed thermal liner is designed for moderate conditions. For extreme cold, consider wearing a thermal base layer underneath the pants.
Connection zip not fastening to jacket
Confirm that both the pants and the jacket have compatible short connection zips. Ensure both zippers are clean and free from debris, then try to engage them carefully.
