    PEKEV® Technology

    Performance

    Every biker knows that in the event of an accident a person must have:

    • Protection against road impact
    • Protection against abrasion
    • Protection against cuts

    Pushing the limits of Aramids and Ethylene fibres, we use only the highest quality spinning techniques available. Improving tensile strength and converting them into fabrics using exclusively elite blends we developed a 3rd generation PEKEV® fabric - this is one of the strongest and most stable fabrics in the world!
    Made from the world’s toughest polymer, it has the highest breaking point for yarn. The tensile strength of the overall fabric is unsurpassed among all contemporary protection layers. It has the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made, it’s highly resistant to corrosive chemicals (with exception of oxidizing acids), has extremely low moisture absorption, a very low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating and is highly resistant to abrasion - in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. It is highly resistant to water, moisture, most chemicals, UV radiation, and micro-organisms.
    Our fabric is internationally field tested and ready for the most demanding motorbike riders of the world. Where other brands fail to perform in safety, durability and comfort we excel - wash after wash and drag after drag!

    PEKEV® features:

    • World’s toughest polymer, the highest breaking point in yarn
    • With a world beating abrasion resistance of 10.83 seconds, the results of our CE EN13595-1 level 2 testing, you are wearing the results of ten years of research every time you ride out
    • CE rating is for the whole garment, not just the hip and knee protectors
    • Over 200% stronger than KEVLAR®, 15 times stronger than carbon steel
    • Made with KEVLAR® and Polyethylene (UHMWPE) - almost 3 times stronger than KEVLAR®, even in wet conditions





    Had a good look at these jeans at the Calne show.
    They really do seem to be the best out there but at £240 you'd bloody well expect them to be.
    They say you're saver wearing these than leathers.
    Just wondering if anyone has tried them and what they think?

    You can buy these in America for $250 but apparently they are the older version.

    Apparently kevlar jeans are only any good the first few times you wear them and then rapidly lose their protection abilities
