Where the knee armour sits when the knee is bent · review
Waterproof Cordura cargo trousers with a fully removable washable quilted liner, waterproof YKK front zips and removable CE protectors at knees and hips.
The bottom line Publishes the two things trousers are usually silent about: hip armour supplied, and a liner that comes out to wash. The class is cited without its standard.
Cordura, waterproof construction with waterproof YKK front zips, a fully removable washable quilted liner, removable CE protectors at knees and hips, and elastic inserts at knee and waist.
Hip protectors supplied. Across this shelf, the hip is the pocket most often left empty, and the certified piece is a separate purchase. Here they are stated as included.
A washable removable liner. The liner absorbs sweat and is what makes a garment unpleasant over time. Publishing that it comes out and washes is publishing the garment’s service life.
Class A is cited in the title without naming the standard it belongs to. Garment classes are defined in EN 17092, and citing the class without the document leaves the reference incomplete. The garment label carries both.

It is the part that absorbs sweat. One that comes out and washes keeps the garment usable; one bonded in place sets its life.
A zip is a row of holes in a waterproof fabric. Naming the zip as waterproof addresses the place water actually enters, which a fabric claim alone does not.
Year-round commuting where the trousers go over other clothing and have to dry between days.
