Inventory of the most protective "cargo" motorcycle pants (EN-17092 : AAA and EN-17092 : AA) in June 2023

(This post was automatically translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator)

This page lists motorcycle cargo pants that meet the 2 highest levels of the EN 17092 standard: AAA and AA.

I’ve included various indications to help you make your choice: place of manufacture when known, waterproofness, type advertised…

I’ve included the Motoblouz/Dafy/Fcmoto link when the product was available at the time of writing.

(Important note: I don’t get a penny from purchases made on these sites, the links are there for information only! If you liked the article, you can buy me a coffee by following the link at the top of the article :) )


Explanation of the EN 17092:20xx standard

European standard EN 17092 requires motorcycle jackets and pants to display a precise measure of their level of protection on the label, in the form of a label like this one:

An explanation on the Dainese “Demonerosso” site here: how motorcycle jacket and trouser certifications work.

Another on the VQuattro website here: CE STANDARDS FOR MOTORCYCLE JACKETS

Essentially, the body is divided into 3 zones, which must withstand different abrasion, tear and seam burst tests depending on their exposure.

Abrasion is not the only criterion, but it gives a good idea of the differences between A, AA and AAA levels:
The fabric sample is subjected to a simulated drop at a given speed, with friction until immobilized; it must not have a hole larger than 5 mm to be certified.
Drop speeds by level:

  • AAA :
    • Zone 1: Fall at 120 km/h
    • Zone 2: 75 km/h drop
    • Zone 3: 45 km/h drop
  • AA :
    • Zone 1: Fall at 70 km/h
    • Zone 2: Fall at 45 km/h
    • Zone 3: Fall at 25 km/h
  • A :
    • Zone 1: Fall at 45 km/h
    • Zone 2: Drop at 25 km/h
    • Zone 3: Not tested

(Keep in mind: The surface on which the tests are carried out is cement, which is much less abrasive than the asphalt on our roads.)

The other 2 levels, B and C, are of little interest: B is an A without shells, and C offers very little protection indeed.
