# Abrasion-Resistant Hoodies The Bull-It Jeans Hoodie Protects You From Nasty Pavement Encounters By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-10-22 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bullit References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/bull-it-armored-hoodie-motorcycle-gear/39950/) & [bull-it](http://www.bull-it.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huckberry-x-danner-n45-low-hiking-sneaker) and is comparable to [many leathers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets). This hoodie meats CE-13595-1 standard for [protective clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket), 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Armored Hoodies:** Opportunity for the development of protective clothing that offers abrasion resistance and enhances safety for various outdoor activities. - **High-tech Materials:** Potential for the advancement of specialized materials that provide superior abrasion resistance and can be used in a variety of industries. - **Protective Clothing Standards:** Opportunity to establish standardized ratings and certifications for protective clothing to ensure consistent safety measures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Motorbike Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the motorbike apparel industry to develop abrasion-resistant clothing that enhances rider safety. - **Sports and Outdoor Gear:** Potential for the integration of abrasion-resistant materials in sports and outdoor gear to offer enhanced protection for users. - **Safety Equipment Manufacturing:** Opportunity for manufacturers in the safety equipment industry to incorporate high-tech abrasion-resistant materials into their product offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protective Cut-Proof Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armortex-jacket.md) - [Stylish Technical Motorcycle Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-mulholland-motorcycle-jacket.md) - [Performance Fleece Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-sea-diver.md) - [Ultra-Dense Fabric Diver Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-deep-sea-diver-hoodie.md) - [Protective Airbag Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocycle.md) - [Four-Way Stretch Wool Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-dynawool-skuba-hoody.md) - [Protective Silver-Infused Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket.md) - [Fray-Free Fabric Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-laptop-case.md) - [Leather Motto Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-motto-jackets.md)
