Has anyone tried out the soft body armour now available. There are apparently several companies that provide various components
of this technology from individual pads to close fitting temperature sensitive body suits. The technology evolves around two or three
types of liquid imprenated textiles, depending on the manufacturer, which hardens in micro seconds on impact and reverts back to its
original state when the force has disapated.
I am very interested in this as it is said to be close fitting, light weight, temperature sensitive, wash and wear and is said to be worn
under regularl jeans and shirt.
This I belive would be most suitable for normal riding conditions and compliment hard body armour for more aggressive off road riding.
I think I read some where that Icon is or has come out with a body suite ? This combined with Yamaha's Outlast jacket and pant should be amazing.
The temperature sensitive body suit I read about comes from England, cant find the artical now.
