¿UN LEGGING MÁS FUERTE QUE UN TRAJE DE CARRERA?(masculin)
Yes! Thanks to the EN17092 standard, bikers can now have a better idea of how a piece of protective equipment really performs. The CE marking label on each garment clearly indicates the level of protection it provides, whether A, AA or AAA. One might think that leather suits are the strongest garments out there, however some only reach level AA, despite their strong appearance. This means that somewhere in the testing, one element couldn’t reach the maximum level, whether it’s impact abrasion, traction, tear, burst and seam resistance. At Bowtex®, the design of our gear is dictated by the specific level of protection we want to achieve.
Bowtex® are Lab tested and...
drag tested!
CERTIFICACIÓN EN17092
The CE regulation EN17092 is here to guarantee that you are riding with the appropriate amount of protection depending on your use. Whether you are crossing countries or commuting in the city.
En realidad, es un proceso largo y complejo por el que todos los fabricantes tienen que pasar en colaboración con laboratorios de pruebas independientes que prueban:
-Abrasión por impacto con máquina Darmstadt
-Resistencia a la tracción (ASTM-D 5034-95)
-Resistencia al desgarro UNE EN ISO 4674-1:2004)
-Resistencia al estallido (13595-3)
-Tensión de costura (BS-3320)
5 niveles de protección
Class C
Para prendas que incluyen protectores contra impactos pero no ofrecen resistencia a la abrasión (pantalones cortos blindados de motocross, etc.).
Class B
Para prendas que ofrecen resistencia a la abrasión pero no ofrecen protección contra impactos.
Class A
Para prendas que ofrecen tanto protección contra impactos como resistencia a la abrasión con muy buena libertad de movimiento (pantalones ligeros, leggins, etc.).
Class AA
Para prendas que ofrecen un buen nivel de protección contra impactos y resistencia a la abrasión, al mismo tiempo que ofrecen una buena libertad de movimiento (jeans, chaquetas, etc.).
Class AAA
Para prendas que ofrecen el más alto nivel de protección pero con la mayor restricción de movimiento (trajes de cuero, prendas textiles duras, etc.).
RATED FABRIC VS FULLY CERTIFIED GEAR
Some manufacturers promote very strong fabric, mentioning a slide distance and fabric resistance according to the new CE certification (A, AA, AAA) but often their gear are not fully certified: this mean only the fabric pass an abrasive test and not the equipment as a fully protective outfit. Aesthetically stitches made with thick and colorful thread look strong but will often tear during impact.
A fully certified gear display the CE AAA logo inside the garment (manufacturers will only show a CE logo if only the fabric is resistant) and has been tested for impact abrasion with a Darmstadt machine, traction resistance, tear resistance, burst resistance and seam tension!
Being only 2% of the traffic, motorcyclist represents 31% of the injured from the road.
Mandatory PPI (Personal protective Equipement) started with helmets and was extended to gloves.
EN17092 helps riders to be more aware about the true resistance of clothing without making them mandatory everywhere in EU.

Por encima de la norma
En Bowtex® no solo alcanzamos el nivel de protección requerido por la normativa, lo superamos en todos los sentidos. El STANDARD R logra la certificación de nivel AA con resistencia a la abrasión de nivel AAA en áreas de alto riesgo.
