To provide a clearer understanding of the EN17092 regulation, here's a breakdown of all the protection classes:
Class AAA - These are typically one or two-piece suits, often made of tough leather, for the racing tracks. They're good at resisting scrapes but don't let you move easily.
Class AA - This gear is great for touring riders who travel a lot. It protects against bad weather and can handle scrapes pretty well.
Class A - This gear is light and easy to move in whilst offering lower abrasion protection than class AA riding gear. It’s great for city rides and casual trips.
Class B - Gear in this group protects against scratching but not hard impacts. It doesn’t come with impact protection incorporated.
Class C - This level has protectors that are held by a mesh material. They only protect against hits, not scrapes.
Achieving Class A certification under this standard means that our Brummell Blazer has undergone rigorous testing and proven its ability to provide top-tier protection to riders. It’s the perfect choice for your everyday commutes as it will keep you protected, comfortable and stylish on the road.
EN17092 represents the latest and most rigorous standard for motorcycle apparel in the world.
It's the only scientifically proven process that can determine which piece of gear could save your life in the event of an accident. This regulation assesses the quality of motorcycle garments based on various factors such as abrasion resistance, impact protection, and ergonomic design.

The Darmstadt Testing Procedure
At Brummell, we leave no stone unturned when it comes to safety. The Brummell Blazer has undergone the rigorous Darmstadt testing procedure to meet and exceed the highest safety standards. The Darmstadt procedure involves a series of thorough tests, in assessing the blazer's safety features.
It covers a wide spectrum of factors critical to a rider's protection, including abrasion resistance, tear strength, and impact protection. Each test is conducted with the utmost precision and scrutiny to ensure that every aspect of the safety measures is thoroughly evaluated.
The Brummell Blazer didn't simply pass these tests, it excelled in every aspect and earned a Class A certification. This certification isn't just a mark; it's a symbol of excellence in quality and safety. It states the blazer's ability to provide riders with the highest protection, making it the top choice for those who demand nothing but the best for their riding experience.
Tear and Seam Strength and Chemical Compliance Testing
Outer materials and protector pocket fabrics are very carefully tested to make sure they meet and go beyond industry standards. Our objective is to guarantee their resilience and integrity, even in the event of a slide at specific speeds. Each material undergoes meticulous testing in both warp and weft directions.
Furthermore, comprehensive chemical analyses, including pH levels, azo dye content, nickel presence, and more, are performed on all materials. These assessments are undertaken to ensure that every component used in crafting the Brummell Blazer fully adheres to regulatory standards. Our commitment to these stringent measures ensures that the blazer is not only stylish but also completely safe and free of any potential hazards for the rider.
