three places, three grades
a grade with no reason is not a grade
- hikingsuitable
- Flat face slides against a pant lining instead of dragging on it at the knee.
- cyclingusable
- Works under a wind pant, but the ankle is cut straight and can ride up over a sock at the pedal stroke.
- commutingusable
- Adds warmth under a trouser, though it is one more thing to take off if the office is warm.
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: no.

what it does, and where it stops
how we test- fabric weight
- 160 g/m²
- garment weight
- 176 g in EU 50 / M
- water repellency
- None. No repellent finish on this fabric.
- hydrostatic resistance (EN ISO 811)
- Not published.
- breathability (EN ISO 11092)
- Not published.
No water-repellent finish. This fabric soaks through in rain and is meant to be worn under a shell.
Not measured. This garment is water-repellent only, so no hydrostatic figure is published for it.
Not yet measured. No breathability figure is published and no breathability claim is made until it is measured to this standard.
- Brushed inner face, smooth outer face so it does not grab a pant lining
- Flatlock seams, no seam behind the knee
- Sold sealed — see the withdrawal terms for the hygiene exception
