| | leather riding suit with protective padding | Explanation:
The site below refers explicity to EC standards, so I'd think that the terminology is appropriate:
The protective qualities of leather riding suits are obvious. However, with the numerous manufacturers that produce leathers, one can't help but wonder if there are any uniform standards with which they are made. In Europe, they have the European Union "CE" mark (similar to the DOT and Snell marks found on helmets sold in the United States). If you have been looking for European protective outerwear, you have probably seen claims of CE-approved body armor. Nevertheless, a claim that protective outerwear is "CE-approved" does not necessarily mean that the garment is truly CE-approved.
BKS hopes to change this by being one of the first manufacturers to import full CE-approved leather riding suits into the States. This implies that the entire suit, from head to toe, all stitching, leather and armor is compliant with the standards set forth by European Community.
Notice the additional chest and collar padding. The padding is comprised of Kevlar and shock-absorbing foam with a bonded polyurethane, faux-carbon fiber cover.
The complete set of protective armor was a welcome addition since the bottom line all-too often seems to be the driving factor behind leather suit design and implementation. The BKS GP100 suit was also very adaptable to a broad range of riding temperatures. |
