[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 164386, member: 5012"] When riding in very hot countries such as Ireland! I use Rokker bike jeans which have the D30 armour for the knees and hips. On a run out one day I watched a friend slide up the road at around seventy miles an hour wearing same jeans, no burn holes no road rash I was impressed enough to buy a pair. I was watching a kids science program on the BBC, "Absolute genius with Dick and Dom" it is a fantastic educational science show, one program they explained how engineered liquids are used for impact protection, when struck said liquids become solids they featured the D3O orange armour which is used by lots of bike gear manufacturers. They were pouring it over their hands and whacking the pile of goo stuff over their paws with a hammer very impressive bit of science in action. One thing I have not mentioned is boots, I use Altberg bike boots for knocking about and touring, I have had the same pair for 35 years still water tight, made to measure cost me 140 which was a fortune back in the day. Altberg are a family firm of craftsmen in Yorkshire. You can have them serviced or repaired resoled even you can tell these guys ride as the boots are class. Worn by the cops here as they love the comfort of the footwear when eating donuts and watching TV. On the track I wear Daytona boots similar age still going strong, my track leathers are BKS they tell a story, repairs, expansions and a bit like you Chris my race leathers have the rings of the tree motive... a visual growth time stamp,as I have grown they have been expanded also. Many cows have given their hides to protect mine. I have tested them a couple of times some slide offs causing minimal scuffing and burns. Al [/QUOTE]
