Abrasion-Resistant Hoodies

The Bull-It Jeans Hoodie Protects You From Nasty Pavement Encounters

— October 22, 2015 — Autos
Bull-it Jeans is offering an armored hoodie that is designed to protect your skin from abrasion if you fall off your motorbike. This particular hoodie uses a special high-tech material called Covec, which was designed specifically for motorbike apparel. This material offers a degree of abrasion resistance that is superior to Kevlar and is comparable to many leathers.

This hoodie meats CE-13595-1 standard for protective clothing, meaning it managed to pass a trio of tests that take stock of impact abrasion, cut resistance and burst resistance.

The Bull-it Jeans hoodie has a rating of SR6, meaning it'll take six seconds of skidding across a hard surface before the skin is exposed. This is a significant period of time and can make the difference between a gorey gash and a minor cut.

Trend Themes
1. Armored Hoodies - Opportunity for the development of protective clothing that offers abrasion resistance and enhances safety for various outdoor activities.
2. High-tech Materials - Potential for the advancement of specialized materials that provide superior abrasion resistance and can be used in a variety of industries.
3. Protective Clothing Standards - Opportunity to establish standardized ratings and certifications for protective clothing to ensure consistent safety measures.
Industry Implications
1. Motorbike Apparel - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the motorbike apparel industry to develop abrasion-resistant clothing that enhances rider safety.
2. Sports and Outdoor Gear - Potential for the integration of abrasion-resistant materials in sports and outdoor gear to offer enhanced protection for users.
3. Safety Equipment Manufacturing - Opportunity for manufacturers in the safety equipment industry to incorporate high-tech abrasion-resistant materials into their product offerings.
