| Component / Feature | Specification / Requirement |
|---|---|
| Design concept | 4‑season, modular 2‑layer system (outer shell + inner thermal liner) |
| Outer shell material | 600D (denier) polyester — durable, abrasion resistant, with a durable water‑repellent (DWR) finish |
| Outer shell treatment | Water‑repellent (DWR) coating to shed light moisture / drizzle; not fully waterproof by itself |
| Inner liner / thermal padding | Removable thermal padding / fleece / insulated liner; bonded or zip‑attached to outer shell |
| Waterproof / breathable membrane | Removable, waterproof & breathable membrane (e.g. 2L or similar) inserted or laminated between shell and liner, or on liner, which can be zipped in / out |
| Ventilation | 10 ventilation zips total: on shoulders, arms, and back |
| Reflectivity / Night visibility | Laminated reflective inserts integrated into the shell (not just printed) to maintain protection and durability |
| Adjustment / fit controls | Volume regulators / adjustments on arms and at jacket bottom (e.g. straps, Velcro, elastic) |
| Cuffs | Adjustable cuffs: cuff opening zips with double slider (for both closure and ventilation) |
| Collar / neck | Collar closure adjustable in 5 positions via button(s) (snap or press buttons) |
| Jacket‑trouser interface | Elastic strap + button (or snap) to link jacket to trousers (prevents gap in riding position) |
| Pockets — external | 2 front external pockets (zipped or with flaps) |
| Pockets — internal | 2 internal pockets: • One on the removable thermal liner • One on the shell’s lining (inner portion) |
| Armor / Protection | Removable CE “Safe Tech” protectors for shoulders & elbows (EN 1621‑1:2012 Level 2) |
| Back protector readiness | “Ready for back protector” pocket (accepts back protector codes e.g. 1232676 or 1232677) — back protector is not included |
| Certification | EN 17092‑3:2020 Class AA |
| Zones & Testing Compliance | Must satisfy all the tests in EN 17092 (abrasion, tearing, seam strength, dimensional stability, etc.) for Class AA garments |
| Seam strength / structural seams | Must meet minimum seam strength requirements as per zone in EN17092 (structurally strong seams tested to EN13594 standards) |
| Tear strength | Minimum tear resistance per zone, as required in EN17092 (textile materials: ISO or EN standard tear tests) |
| Dimensional stability / laundering | After washing or cleaning (if manufacturer allows), dimensional changes must stay within ±5 % (per EN13688 & EN17092) |
| Sleeve restraint / retention | A system to restrain the sleeves (so sleeves don’t ride up in a crash) per EN17092 requirements |
| Temperature / season use | Suitable for cold, moderate, and warm weather: with thermal liner for cold and vents + membrane for warmer / wet conditions |
| Weight / packability | (To be defined) — ideally the liner & membrane should be removable, so the shell can be lighter when rain/insulation aren’t needed |
| Sizes / Fit | Full size range (e.g. S, M, L, XL, XXL, etc.) — with sizing chart. Ensure ergonomics, articulation in riding position, stretch panels where needed. |
| Color / finishing | At least neutrals (black / gray) with contrast or reflective panels; durable, fade- and abrasion-resistant finishing |
| Hardware / Zippers / Sliders | High-quality zippers (e.g. YKK or equivalent), double-sliders for ventilation zips, waterproof zip flaps or internal storm covers on critical zips |
| Labels / Markings | Must include CE / EN17092 label, class marking (AA), size, care instructions, materials, etc., in compliance with PPE labeling rules |
