Extreme sports are becoming evermore popular but while these may get the adrenalin pumping, they also expose people to a higher risk of serious injury.

As a result advanced body armour is now widely used across a variety of activities to allow extreme sports enthusiasts to get the "buzz" they seek, while still having the peace of mind that they are protected, as much as is possible, from injuring themselves.

Hi

A protective foam layer is provided. The protective layer has a foam substrate that is at least partially enclosed by a formed skin adjacent the outer surface of the foam substrate. The formed skin is substantially non-porous. The combination of the foam substrate with the formed skin results in a protective layer that is effective to absorb and/or dissipate impact force for both high- and low-speed impacts that can be experienced during a sporting event such as cycling

Thanks
