Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
GTS used to make some one piece suits in kevlar. Protek still do. Some Speedway riders appear to to use then.

As Mr S says the biggest issue appears that if you do go sliding down the road they tend to grab, so a slide becomes more of a tumble.

This probably isn't a problem for speedway riders on shale.

Like most things it's all a compromise, abrasion resistence, ease of movement, breathability, etc, etc.

When you start looking into the subject there's some very intetresting info out there.

One school of though being once you've got your lid on the Human body needs protection from the bottom up..........feet most vulnerable, then ankles, lower leg then knees and so on. Its said you shouldn't pay too much attention to ya collar bones as they are one of natures crumple zones
