Sets rather than single garments
Buying a jacket and trousers together means they are cut to join — and on riding kit that join matters more than it sounds. A jacket that does not zip to the trousers rides up, and the gap it opens is at the kidneys.
It also means the armour count is a single question rather than two, and armour is where a set’s price is decided.
What is actually in the box. Armour at shoulders, elbows, knees and hips — or empty pockets waiting for it. A foam placeholder is not a protector, and the difference between a set with certified armour at four points and one with pockets is most of the money.
The standard. Motorcyclists’ protective clothing is classified by EN 17092, which grades garments from AAA down. The class is printed on the garment.
Neither is settled by a listing. Both are settled by the label sewn inside.
