FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for summer riding?
While they offer all-season protection, the fixed thermal liner might make them warm for very hot summer days. They are best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter conditions, or for summer riding in cooler climates.
Can I replace the knee protectors?
Yes, the CE level 1 knee protectors are removable. You can replace them with other compatible protectors of the same size and certification level.
What is the main advantage of the short pant connection zip?
The short pant connection zip allows you to securely attach the trousers to compatible Oxford jackets. This prevents drafts from entering the jacket and trousers, providing better protection against wind and rain.
How durable is the polyester 600D outer shell?
Polyester 600D offers good abrasion resistance for an entry-level riding pant, providing a reasonable level of protection for commuting and general road use.
Do these trousers come with hip protection?
No, these trousers come with CE level 1 knee protectors. Hip protection is not included but can be purchased separately and inserted into the designated pockets if compatible.
What is the 'Class A' certification?
'Class A' certification (EN 17092-4:2020) indicates the garment meets specific abrasion resistance and burst strength requirements for motorcycle protective clothing, offering a good level of protection for general road use.
How should I clean the reflective details?
When cleaning, avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the printed reflective areas. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended to preserve the reflective material's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress through seams.
Ensure all seams are intact. For persistent leaks, consider seam sealing or re-waterproofing the garment.
Knee protector not staying in place.
Adjust the internal pocket or strap (if available) to secure the protector. Ensure the leg openings are not too loose.
Zipper difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil to the teeth to improve smooth operation.
Reduced thermal performance.
Ensure the fixed thermal liner is correctly seated and not bunched up. Consider layering with thermal base layers for colder conditions.
