Where the knee armour sits when the knee is bent · review
Urban riding trousers in 100% polyester with stretch and an ergonomic cut, published for commuting and touring across the year. No armour is stated.
The bottom line Cut for sitting on a machine and silent on protection. The cut is the published feature; the armour question is answered by its absence from the listing.
100% polyester with stretch, an ergonomic cut the maker describes as following the body when seated, walking and riding, and a pocket layout for everyday use.
Armour. No knee protectors, no hip protectors, and no pockets described for either. In a family where the published feature that matters most is where the knee armour sits when the leg is bent, that absence is the finding.
Nor is a garment standard or a membrane cited.
Trousers that follow the body seated are trousers that get worn on a commute. That is a real advantage and it is published — it is simply a different thing from protection, and this page keeps the two apart.
Between 70 € and 80 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, in the single reading behind this page.
Priced in local currency, which the euro range above deliberately leaves out, it also appears on the American Amazon store.
Nothing whatever came back from the British Amazon store, so the buy button there opens a search instead of an empty page.

The listing does not describe any. Where pockets exist, makers publish them, often with the number of height positions.
No membrane is published. Four-season here describes the fabric weight and the stretch rather than a waterproof construction.
A commuter who wants trousers cut for sitting on a machine and will judge the protection separately.
Same category, nearest prices. Only the specifications every one of them states are shown — a half-empty column compares nothing.
