Pants

This garment is fitted with impact protectors for the knees. The foam pads present in hip armour pockets were fillers and not tested as they were not considered impact protectors and would provide limited, if any, energy absorption. Adding hip impact protectors would improve the protection levels of this garment. 

There are zipped vents in the front and back of the upper legs to allow controlled airflow movement through the garment. The breathability rating is based on tests of the garment's materials when all vents are closed. The breathability of this product may be better when the vents are opened. 

This garment has a removable water-resistant liner. The breathability rating above was achieved with the thermal and water-resistant liners removed. When tested with the water-resistant liner installed, the breathability rating remained unchanged at one-star.
