three places, three grades

a grade with no reason is not a grade

hikingusable: The high back rise bunches at the waist when you stand upright for a full day.
cyclingsuitable: Patterned in the riding position: back rise 5 cm high, knee articulated forward, narrow right cuff clear of the crank, one zipped rear pocket reachable in the saddle.
commutingsuitable: Plain face fabric and welt front pockets; the long back rise is hidden under any shirt or jacket.

Cycling grades account for back hem length, sleeve length with your arms forward on the bars, and whether there is a rear pocket you can reach. Rear pocket on this piece: yes.

the piece

This trouser was patterned on a mannequin in a riding position rather than standing, which is why the back rise looks long on a hanger. Both sets of measurements are published below — the standing figures and the riding-position figures — because one without the other tells you nothing.

what it does, and where it stops

how we test

fabric weight: 245 g/m²
garment weight: 442 g in EU 50 / M
water repellency: standard — PFC-free DWR, C0 chemistry, applied to the face fabric
when the finish runs out: 20 to 30 machine washes, sooner where a pack or saddle rubs
how you will know: water stops beading and rolls into the weave instead; the face fabric darkens where it soaks in
how to renew it: Wash it clean first, then apply a wash-in or spray-on repellent, then reactivate with a warm tumble dry or a warm iron through a cloth.
hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811): Not published.
breathability (EN ISO 11092): Not published.

Patterned on a mannequin at a 35° forward lean, then re-measured standing
Right cuff 3 cm narrower than the left to clear the crank arm
One zipped rear pocket, 15 × 11 cm, angled for a reach from the saddle

this is not personal protective equipment

This garment carries reflective trim. The trim is decorative: it is not personal protective equipment, it does not conform to EN ISO 20471 or to any other high-visibility standard, and it has not been tested or certified as safety equipment by anybody. Wearing it does not make a road safe. We sell no protective equipment of any kind — no helmets, no body protection, no certified high-visibility clothing.

where the trim is: Right cuff outer edge, 10 cm band
Rear pocket welt, 12 cm band
what the trim is made of: Glass-bead retro-reflective tape, silver, stitched not bonded

sizes, measured

Measurements in centimetres for cycling-cut trouser, taken flat, with a tolerance of plus or minus one centimetre.
size	waist	hip	inseam
EU 38	78 cm	100 cm	83 cm
EU 40	82 cm	104 cm	83 cm
EU 42	86 cm	108 cm	83 cm
EU 44	90 cm	112 cm	83 cm
EU 46	94 cm	116 cm	83 cm
EU 48	98 cm	120 cm	83 cm

Garment measurements in centimetres, taken flat. Tolerance ±1 cm — a run of fabric is never exact, and we would rather print the tolerance than pretend it away.

the same garment, in a riding position

cycling-cut trouser measured on a mannequin held at a 35 degree forward lean.
size	back coverage, riding
EU 38	43 cm
EU 40	44 cm
EU 42	45 cm
EU 44	46 cm
EU 46	47 cm
EU 48	48 cm

Measured on a mannequin held at a 35° forward lean. A forward lean lifts the back hem and pulls the sleeve back from the wrist, so these figures are lower than the standing ones — that is the effect, stated rather than hidden.
