This Beetle body armor is not designed for fighting cockroaches or other insects. It is to protect the human body against injury in skiing accidents.
Or as the designers at the POC lab say: "The new science of biomimetics is what inspires us at POC in our daily quest to develop ever-better products and solutions that will minimize the consequences of accidents when skiing - saving people's lives and reducing the injuries they suffer."
The Beetle armor is made of a durable and stretchy fabric with panels of aramid mesh for cut-resistance. The spine forms the basis of a modular system that you can trust absolutely, consisting of a flexibly jointed back-shield in a special combination of the latest high-tech materials, anatomically shaped and generously ventilated. The detachable back protector may be used separatly without the jacket.
What's Driving This Trend
- Biomimetic Skiing Body Armor
- Opportunity for designing body armor inspired by nature and biomimicry for use in skiing and other high-impact sports.
- Modular Back Protectors
- Opportunity to create flexible, detachable back protectors for use in high-impact sports and other applications.
- Cut-resistant Fabrics
- Opportunity to develop durable and stretchy fabrics with panels of aramid mesh for use in protective clothing and gear.
Who This Affects Most
- Sports Equipment
- Opportunity for designers and manufacturers of skiing and other high-impact sports equipment to incorporate biomimetic body armor and modular back protectors for enhanced safety and performance.
- Safety Gear
- Opportunity for manufacturers of safety gear and protective clothing to incorporate cut-resistant fabrics and flexible, detachable back protectors for use in various industries and applications.
- Textile Manufacturing
- Opportunity for textile manufacturers to develop new fabrics with enhanced durability, flexibility, and cut-resistant properties for use in protective clothing and gear.
