A thickness in millimetres, and a seam that has to hold · review
A leather jacket published as class AAA in aniline cowhide at 1.2 mm, with CE-marked removable protectors at shoulders, elbows and forearms and original YKK zips.
The bottom line The most completely specified leather jacket here: hide type, thickness, class, armour placement and even the zip supplier. What it does not include is a back protector.
Class AAA, aniline cowhide at 1.2 mm, CE-marked removable protectors at shoulders, elbows and forearms, and original YKK zips on the front.
That is an unusually complete specification for this shelf. The hide type and thickness together are what make leather comparable; the class says which garment document was applied; and naming the zip supplier addresses the component most likely to fail on a jacket that is otherwise sound.
A back protector. The listing names three protector positions and the back is not among them, which puts the certified back piece in the column of separate purchases.
It records that the protectors are certified. The level and type — a measured transmitted force, and a coverage class — are printed on each piece and are not in the listing.

It is a garment classification under EN 17092, describing intended use and the requirements that follow. The class is printed on the garment label with the standard.
It is the comparable figure for a hide. Road jackets are usually quoted between 1.1 and 1.4 mm, and a listing that publishes the number can be compared with one that does.
