CE: is the marking to ensure the conformity of the protectors to the requirements of the Regulation EU 2016/425.
PPE: means Personal Protective Equipment.
USE: Limb protectors either inserted into correctly sized and placed pockets in the shoulders, elbows & back of a garment and in the hips and knees of riding jeans or trousers or sewn directly to the garment shell. The garments are primarily intended for Motorcycle riding but maybe used in other clothing where similar risks of impact occur. The protectors offer limited protection from impact and abrasion in the event of an accident or fall from a motorcycle which may include impact and abrasion from the riding surface or impact with the motorcycle or conflicting vehicles and other objects.
PERFORMANCE RECORDED DURING TECHNICAL TESTING
The performance level marked in the example pictogram shows a level of either 1 or 2, depending on the results obtained during impact attenuation tests. EN 1621-1:2012 and EN 1621-2: 2014 standards determine two protection levels, 1 or 2. When impact attenuation is tested the transmitted force shall be below the values expressed in the following tables. The protectors satisfy the requirements of Regulation EU 2016/425.
EN 1621-1:2012 | Level 1 | Level 2 |
Overall mean value | <35kN | <20kN |
Single strike | <50kN | <30kN |
EN 1621-2:2014 | Level 1 | Level 2 |
Overall mean value | <18kN | <9kN |
Single strike | <24kN | <12kN |
STORLEK
EN 1621-1:2012 defines protector sizes as A or B. Size B is larger than size A. Make sure you have the right size and that the protector sits over the area they are intended to protect.
EN 1621-2:2014 defines protector sizes by the length between the waist and shoulder. Make sure you have the correct size. Please note that a single back protector cannot fir all body dimensions.
USE WITH OTHER GARMENTS
The protectors may influence the performance and fit of other items of protective wear. Please make sure other items are appropriate to be worn with this garment. It is advised to combine this garment with appropriate helmets and other complementary garments in accordance with EN 17092:2020 and gloves with EN 13594:2015.
RESTRAINT
The protectors should be centred over the area they are designed to protect and will either be held in place in a protector pocket or will be sewn directly to the garment shell. You must make sure the garment’s opening zip is securely fastened in order to hold the protectors in place and give the intended protection.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Storage: Hang garment in a dry, ventilated environment, out of sunlight and away from direct heat sources. Do not leave on the floor or under heavy items – it may lead to the protectors becoming misshapen, ripped, or damaged in some way. Do not fold jacket or back protector in half as this may cause damage to the back protector. Keep away from chemical substances that that could damage the material and lose its protective properties.
Maintenance: Regular inspection (at least annually) should be made to the impact protection and fitting system for obvious signs of wear or broken stitches. If either are found the garment or protectors should be returned for professional inspection and repair. If the impact protectors are worn or damaged or there is any doubt as to their condition, they should be replaced immediately. It is advised that the protectors are replaced every 5 years regardless of condition.
If the protectors have at any time received an impact due to an accident scenario they should be replaced immediately.
Wash Care: Carefully remove protectors from the garment before washing. The protectors should be cleaned by hand wash only. If the protectors are sewn directly to the garment shell, please check the care label for exact garment washing instructions.
