    I asked him that and he said they have no reason to change from traditional leather. Race leathers are good enough for sliding a short distance on a smooth track and into the gravel.

    That's an actual proper thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-h...t_polyethylene . PEKEV I'm sure is just some BS name they have given to some generic aramid they sourced somewhere, if it's like draggin the extra strength compared to cheap ones just comes from it being 3 times thicker.
