Doesn't matter how high the technology gets, you still have to be careful not to stitch your fingers together.

 

they now put in two or more panels, improving flexibility, weight and styling without losing strength. And knowing they exceed the standard by a large margin is not a bad thing, either. But don't perforations weaken the material? 'We can make the entire suit ventilated and still be strong enough to pass,' says Brian, confirming the 'strengthening holes' theory, based on the observation that lavatory paper never tears along the perforations, so the holes must make the paper Stronger. Finally there's body armour, the cushion the rider needs when he's not in a simple, sliding-along-tarmac crash. BKS have developed new armour based on a material called polynorbernene rubber. It comes as

6.5mm black or 8mm green and perforated to allow ventilation. It's light and very flexible, moulding itself to your contours, and it's so good, Cambridge had to create a new test category for it. As well as their low, normal and high ratings, they now have an extreme rating because this stuff exceeded high by more than the gap between normal and high. Ironically, the only reason the perforated version is 8mm is it's so flexible, in its original form people would get hold of the suit elbows or shoulders, scrunch them up and think the armour was deficient or missing altogether, so BKS made the padding thicker to make it feel more substantial.
