Just been watching the cycling Tour de France on tv. A rider crashed badly on a bend and slid quite a long way on his side. TV pictures showed shortly after that he’d got nasty road rash on his arm and hip, but his white cycling jersey (Team Sunweb) was unscathed and still pretty clean. He’d not had time to change it before the cameras were on him, either.
Commentator David Millar said he understood that Team Sunweb used race jerseys made with Dyneema, which is apparently “a next generation version of Kevlar”. I’d not heard of it before. You can perhaps see where I’m heading: anyone have any first-hand experience of Dyneema in any motorcycling clothing?
A quick search didn’t reveal many manufacturers mentioning it in their specifications.
Cheers.
Tom
