Size and fit guide
This Shopify listing has one D5XL / Regular women’s variant, confirmed by SKU 006660-00/001-D5XL. Held lists D5XL as an available women’s regular size for the Vader, but its current general women’s textile body-measurement chart only publishes measurements up to D4XL. An unsupported UK or body-measurement conversion has therefore not been added.
Protective trousers should fit securely without restricting the riding position. Check that the knee armour remains centred over the knee when seated on the motorcycle and that the waistband and calf panels remain comfortable over the layers you intend to wear.
What is supplied?
- One pair of Held Vader women’s touring motorcycle trousers in Black
- Detachable thermal liner
- Fitted, height-adjustable Level 1 knee protectors
Hip protectors and Held Snap Brace braces are optional and are not included.
Compatibility and optional accessories
The connecting zip is intended for compatible Held motorcycle jackets. Optional EN 1621-1:2012 certified hip protectors can be added, and the button fixtures accept Held Snap Brace braces, article 032597. Compatibility should be checked before ordering any accessory.
Product questions
Are the Held Vader trousers waterproof?
Yes. Held specifies an integrated Held-Tex-Z-Liner membrane that is waterproof, windproof and breathable.
Is a thermal liner included?
Yes. A detachable thermal liner is supplied, allowing the trousers to be adapted for cooler or milder conditions.
What protection is included?
Height-adjustable Level 1 knee protectors are fitted. The complete garment is certified to EN 17092-4:2020, Class A. Hip protectors are optional.
Are these trousers intended for winter riding?
Held classifies the Vader for spring to autumn and summer use. The thermal liner adds warmth, but the manufacturer does not currently classify the model as a dedicated winter trouser.
How does D5XL convert to UK sizing?
Held lists D5XL for this model but does not publish D5XL body measurements in its current general women’s textile chart. Contact Moto Central for practical sizing advice rather than relying on a generic conversion.
Warranty and fitting advice
Held provides a standard two-year warranty from the date of purchase, subject to its warranty terms. For help assessing the D5XL fit, knee-armour position or compatibility with a Held jacket, visit the Moto Central showroom for practical fitting guidance.
