A COMFORTABLE GARMENT THAT REALLY PROTECTS THE MOTORCYCLE - FULL PROTECT SWEATSHIRT™
After months of work and testing, we have finally succeeded in creating the first sweatshirt with the best all-around protection for motorcyclists. We have always been keen to offer innovative reflective devices for motorcyclists in order to guarantee their safety while preserving the aesthetics of their motorcycles and equipment. Recently, we came up with the idea to shake up the biker clothing industry with a brand new product, starting from a simple thought:
There is no everyday garment that really protects riders of two wheels. We decided to create one, designed by bikers, for bikers.
We wanted to create an everyday garment that really protects two-wheeler riders by combining different technologies to make FULL PROTECT™ the ultimate garment to wear on the road. It combines several advantages:
· Comfortable : it has the comfort and appearance of ordinary clothing: it is very pleasant to wear in temperatures over 15°C and especially when it is hot because the wind passes through it for a cooling effect. It offers great freedom of movement thanks to its fabric, its SAS-TEC™ protections and its very flexible KEVLAR® lining.
· Practical : It is optimized for motorcycle riding thanks to its mittens and trouser loops to keep it in place on the road, its two side pockets with zippers as well as its two inside pockets and its two ropes with quick and easy hood tightening system that does not hang down.
· Trendy : protection is our priority, but not at the cost of style and aesthetics! To encourage our customers as much as possible to choose safety, we wanted to create everyday clothing that easily adapts to their clothing style and is discreet: the black color and the dark retro-reflective inserts make it possible to break with the unflattering image one can have of safe clothing. In addition, to match even more the look of those who will wear them, it is also possible to order it with the pattern of your choice to add a touch of personalization.
A garment without equivalent on the market equipped with 3 technologies
The FULL PROTECT™ looks nothing like a classic motorcycle jacket: it is comfortable, adapts to a casual outfit and can be worn in everyday life. But more than just a sweatshirt, it combines three technologies to provide motorcyclists with an optimal level of protection.
1. Anti-abrasion
It is fully lined with 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber, also used in bulletproof vests, and resists abrasion when falling at 110 km/h. Developed by the Du Pont de Nemours company, this fiber is five times stronger than steel and much lighter.
It has a high breaking strength (3,100 MPa and modulus between 70 and 125 GPa) while offering freedom of movement and comfort thanks to its material as flexible as fabric.

Result of our abrasion tests: when the mannequin fell from 80 kg at 110 km/h, only the first layer of fabric tore. The KEVLAR® lining is intact and perfectly protects the wearer of the FULL PROTECT SWEATSHIRT™.
2. Anti-shock
Inside, the ultra-flexible SAS-TEC™ protectors offer great impact resistance by perfectly hugging the shoulders, elbows and back. Its ergonomic shape protects the spine from top to bottom. They are certified for level 2 against shocks, the highest standard on the market (European Standard CE EN1621-1:2012 for shoulder and elbow protection and European Standard CE EN1621-2:2014 for the back protector)
This technology, developed by the German company SAS-TEC™, is based on shape-memory protection with viscoelastic properties that can absorb significant shocks. Its effectiveness is 50% higher than conventional rigid protections. Its material, which hardens on impact, is extremely flexible and follows movements comfortably, like D3O type protections, while being more elaborate
3. Night visibility
Our sweatshirt is visible at night at 360° and 4 times farther than with a classic jacket thanks to retro reflective inserts with 3M™ Technology . The material used is patented REFLECTIVE BLACK CARBON™ is anthracite grey. The inserts are discreet during the day and have a high level of retro-reflection of 300 RA which considerably improves visibility at night or in low light.
This material is extremely resistant and stretchy: it allows the sweatshirt to go through the washing machine without being damaged and resists cracking to maintain its appearance.
A sweatshirt that adapts to all styles
We wanted to offer two very different versions to offer a choice that adapts to all styles. Our sweatshirts are available with the biker V salute or the SKULL™ skull. It's up to you to choose your style! They also exist in retro-reflective V hi biker stickers or in retro-reflective SKULL™ skull stickers to go further in customizing your motorcycle or helmet.
A garment that adapts to the needs of motorcyclists
Not only can you choose the style of your sweatshirt, but thanks to the inserts for custom protections, you can order it with or without protection if you already have one.
However, for motorcycle use, we can only strongly recommend SAS-TEC™ protectors, which are perfectly adapted, ultra-flexible and Level 2 (few protectors are)!

Designed by bikers and for bikers, in France
For several months, we designed, improved, redesigned and tested the FULL PROTECT SWEATSHIRT™ with our teams. Being motorcyclists ourselves, we used our experience to make the final version most suited to the needs of two-wheeler riders . Thanks to our know-how in the field of retro-reflective devices, we also design and cut the REFLECTIVE BLACK CARBON™ inserts ourselves, which are affixed to the sweatshirt in our workshop.
