I don’t know about
the rest of you but I cook
in the summer time. Wearing
protective gear in the summer
is really a bear but I will
not ride without it.
In June of 2002 I came
across a company from Israel
named Brosh that was marketing
lightweight protective riding
gear. I ordered a Cool K
(“K” as in Kevlar)
coat with body armor. What
I got really amazed me. The
lightweight coat has zipper
vents that go from your inner
wrist about 8” up your
arm to let airflow in. There
is a large mesh area under
each arm and a zipper vent
across the back in your shoulder
blade region.
I was really impressed by
the two primary features:
Kevlar and Body Armor. The
coat contains Kevlar in the
shoulders and forearms, which
are the most likely contact
areas in the event of a fall.
Behind these Kevlar areas
is the most advanced body
armor for motorcyclists in
the world. The armor is called
T-Pro and is made by Davies
Odell in England. In addition
to the elbow and shoulder
armor, I also ordered the
spine protector.
The coat is comfortable
in temperatures as low as
60F (with its vents closed)
and up to over 100F. As soon
as the temps get over 70F,
open the vents and you’re
all set! If you perspire
a lot like I do, the coat
gets damp in traffic but
then dries as soon as you
get moving again. Remarkable!
But it gets better. Brosh
now makes a coat called the
Ultra Cool K which has a
lining made from Dupont Cool
Max.
Cool Max was designed by
Dupont to wick moisture away
from your body and it really
works! As far as we can tell
no other motorcycle coat
manufacturer in the world
uses Cool Max in their coat.
As a matter of fact, we can’t
find any other coat manufacturers
that use Kevlar or T-Pro
armor in their coats either!
Kevlar protects the rider
in a slide and T-Pro armor
takes the shock of the impact
and Brosh has lots of examples
of it working.
Check our site for the Brosh
crew wearing gear that has
been through a crash and
also for stories from satisfied
customers who have crashed
in their gear and were protected
from serious injury because
they were wearing it.
Brosh has expanded their
line to include rain-suits,
overshoes, waterproof gloves
and other riding accessories
all built to their high quality
standard and now available
to you from cbxman.com!
