Where the knee armour sits when the knee is bent · review
Windproof water-repellent trousers in 600D Cordura polyester with a four-layer construction, reinforced textile, nylon taffeta and certified CE knee and thigh protectors.
The bottom line Publishes its construction layer by layer at the lowest price here, and states its protectors as certified. Water-repellent rather than waterproof, and the armour level is on the pieces.
600D Cordura polyester in a four-layer construction the maker breaks down: reinforced textile, water-repellent nylon taffeta, and certified CE knee and thigh protectors. The liner is removable and washable.
Most listings name a fabric. Naming the layers says how the garment is built, and the denier figure — 600D — is comparable between products that publish it.
The distinction is published and it matters. A repellent finish sheds light rain and wets through in sustained rain. Where a garment has a membrane, makers say so, and say whether it is laminated or on a drop-liner.
The maker names thigh protectors. Armour standards classify hip protectors as their own position, and a thigh piece sits lower. Worth confirming on the garment which the pockets actually place.

Priced in local currency, which the euro range above deliberately leaves out, it also appears on the British Amazon store.
Nothing whatever came back from the American Amazon store, so the buy button there opens a search instead of an empty page.

A denier rating for the fabric weight, on a fabric family known for abrasion resistance. It is a published, comparable figure.
The maker names thigh. Hip protectors sit higher and are classified separately in armour standards, so the distinction is worth confirming on the garment.
Three-season commuting where the liner comes out in summer and the price matters.
Same category, nearest prices. Only the specifications every one of them states are shown — a half-empty column compares nothing.
