Double Leather Areas
Double leather areas are necessary to meet with CE Approval and give the right levels of enhanced abrasion resistance throughout the suit. Two layers at a minimum of 1.3mm thick each are required to meet Level 3 or High Performance classifications. The areas covered are designated by Zone 2 of the Cambridge Standard. Essentially, these are the top outer arm and shoulder (into the collar); full outside elbow to immediately above the cuff; front of hip, wrapping around the entire seat and down the outside thigh (3” either side of the outside leg seam); top of knee and shin to the boot area. Double leather has an alternative in the form of a Ballistic Nylon fabric. This is also used to reinforce these same areas.
