VEMAR S-176 Riding Protective Pants — PP/PE protection, M to 5XL
VEMAR S-176 Riding
Protective Pants
The S-176 is a lightweight base-layer riding pant with integrated PP and PE protective housing at four zones — elastic waist, hip and upper leg, thigh and knee PP honeycomb shell, and adjustable lower-leg tension straps to keep panels correctly positioned in riding posture. Polyester/spandex outer fabric provides quick-dry and stretch performance for spring and summer use under riding trousers or as a standalone protective layer. No CE certification is listed — the PP/PE housing provides impact absorption without independently tested certification.
- No CE certification — PP/PE housing only: The S-176's protection is provided by PP (polypropylene) honeycomb hard-shell panels and PE (polyethylene) foam padding — not CE-certified protectors tested to EN 1621 standards. PP/PE housing provides meaningful impact absorption and abrasion resistance, but without independently tested force-transmission limits. If CE Level 1 or Level 2 certification is required for your riding context, this product does not meet that requirement. For road riders who require certified protection, consider CE-certified riding trousers and wear the S-176 underneath for additional coverage.
- Waist measurement is very small — confirm before ordering: The size chart's waist column shows M at 55–60cm and 5XL at 85–90cm. These are notably narrow relative to standard riding trouser sizing — the S-176 is a compression base layer, not a standard trouser cut. For reference, a standard men's 32-inch waist is approximately 81cm — which maps to 4XL in this chart. Size up at least two sizes from your usual riding trouser size if the S-176 will be worn as a standalone garment; size to your actual waist measurement if worn as a compression layer under other trousers.
- Adjustable leg straps — check panel alignment in riding posture: The lower-leg tension straps keep the PP knee guard centred over the patella in riding posture. After fitting, sit in riding position and confirm the knee panel is centred over the kneecap — not riding up toward the lower thigh or down toward the shin. Adjust the leg strap tension until the panel holds position through the knee's full flex range. A panel that migrates downward when the knee bends is loose — tighten the strap until the panel is held at the correct position throughout the flex cycle.
- Base layer use — wear under trousers, not over: The S-176's slim fit is designed for under-layer use beneath riding trousers, jeans, or over-trousers. The compression fit holds the PP/PE panels against the body; wearing additional layers over the S-176 does not compress the panels or reduce their effectiveness. The quick-dry polyester outer handles perspiration management between the S-176 and the over-trouser. Do not wear the S-176 as the outermost layer at road speed — the polyester fabric has minimal abrasion resistance without an outer layer above it.
- Washing — remove PP/PE panels before machine wash: The PP/PE protective panels should be removed from their pockets before machine washing — the panels can warp or delaminate at washing temperatures above 30°C, and the panel edges can damage the fabric in a machine cycle. Wash the fabric shell cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. The panels can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Re-insert and confirm each panel is fully seated in its pocket before riding.
PP (polypropylene) is the hard outer shell — rigid, lightweight, impact-distributing. PE (polyethylene) is the softer inner foam layer — energy-absorbing through compression. Together they form a two-stage impact response: the PP shell distributes force across the panel surface, the PE layer absorbs the transmitted energy before it reaches the body. Polyester is the quick-dry stretch outer fabric; nylon provides seam and edge durability at the highest-wear join points.

* Compression base layer sizing — waist measurements are significantly smaller than standard riding trouser sizes. Measure your actual waist circumference and match to the cm column. A standard 32-inch waist (≈81cm) falls in the 4XL range. If between sizes, choose the larger. Tolerance ±1–3cm. S size is listed in the source spec but not in the available size pills (M–5XL) — confirm S availability with the seller.
