You gain X armor but Evade has decreased -- does not improve armor

My existing pants were
950 Armor with + 29.2% armor bonus. This gave me total armor of 8626

I picked up another pair of pants with 950 armor and only 20.3% armor bonus. But it also has what looks to be a new enchantment

“You gain 5143 armor but your evade has 100% increased cooldown”

OK, I can live with that. Sure I lose almost 10% off my base 950 but an extra 5143 armor should more than make up for that, right?

Wrong. When I equip these pants my total armor goes down from 8626 to 8129

So what gives here? Is this a case of the UI just not showing me my true bonus, as it does with some weapons?

The aspect is disabled in town so you can evade

Wow, that was it exactly. Thank you! Went out of town and armor went up to 15,072. Thanks!
