Under the remit set by the FIM, Covec has developed a high performance under suit that excels as follows;
Impact abrasion resistance exceeding CE 13595-2 Level 1 ALL OVER
Low Thermal conductivity, protects the rider from heat transfer burns from exhaust heat or surface friction heat from sliding
Ventilated material structure to increase airflow
CE 1621 armours as standard for Back, Shoulder, Elbow, Knee, Hip and Coccyx (All removable).
Memory Elastane materials used in the Back, Elbow, knee, Hip and Coccyx armours moulding to your body shape as you ride.
Optional chest protector
Absorbs dirt and stones impact at high speed
A stretch fit to increase blood flow to muscles and increase personal performance
Non Absorbent, promoting wick away properties.
Not chemically affected by washing or sweat.
Heat resistant to 330 degrees C. (Nylon and Dyneema for example are around 130-150 degrees)
Covec impact airflow suit is a 'Char Former', this means it is NOT flammable.
To prevent consequential injuries caused by high thermally conductive materials like Nylon, polyester and especially those that use Lycra or Spandex. Coolmesh type materials which provide wick away benefits to low friction sports like athletics are harmful when used in a high friction temperature environment such as high impact friction or any heat transfer incidents.
Body armour suits are normally constructed using Lycra or spandex to provide the rider with comfort, despite the damage they create as they melt, they add no abrasion protection.
