The Bull-it Covec Hoodie Sweatshirt provides 100% Covec coverage against abrasion and CE-certified shoulder, back, and elbow protection in a comfy, convenient package. Technical yarns like Kevlar and Dyneema are commonly found in motorcycle clothing because of their high resistance to abrasion. Covec is a new, UK-developed material that is also extremely abrasion resistant, but it’s even more ideally suited to meet the safety needs of riders because it offers a full spectrum of protection performance. High abrasion resistance and cut resistance Resistant to the degrading effects of wear, chemicals, sweat, and repeated washings ABRASION RESISTANCE and CUT RESISTANCE Covec has three times the cut resistance as aramid (Kevlar) and UHMWPE (Dyneema, Nome) fabrics.* The Bull-it Covec Hoodie Sweatshirt provides 100% Covec coverage against abrasion and CE-certified shoulder, back, and elbow protection in a comfy, convenient package. Covec, Kevlar, and Dyneema are all extremely abrasion resistant, so they can withstand a lot of abrasion in a slide before ripping.

Covec is more abrasion resistant than aramid’s like Kevlar. UHMWPEs like Dyneema offer the highest abrasion resistance of the group, but they also come with a serious downside, as you’ll see in our next section: Burns are extremely common effects of motorcycle accidents, and there are two primary causes: contact with hot engine parts; and friction burns during a slide. A material that transfers heat readily won’t protect your skin during either scenario, and such materials can increase the severity of injury by melting onto the skin. UHMWPEs have extremely low melting points–a serious weakness in the face of friction. Covec has a very high melting point. Covec is further set apart from the group by its ability to maintain its protective integrity after the repeated washings, wearings, and beatings you put your #1 pair of jeans through. Covec has a high flex fatigue, meaning it withstands repeated folding and bending; and low yarn-on-yarn abrasion, which is the tendency of individual yarns of the fabric to rub against each other and break.

Aramids have particularly low flex fatigue, high instance of yarn-on-yarn breakage, and succumb to the effects of hydrolysis over time by washing. Aramids are also less resistant than Covec to alkalis and acids like sweat, detergent, motor oil, and other commonly occurring substances.günstige einfarbige hoodies *Cut resistance is measured using a blade with an applied force that is dropped onto the material. mw3 hoodie Bull-It Covec SR6 Hoodie Sweatshirtdiamond supply hoodies zumiez Soft cotton outer with 100% internal Covec coverage for 6 seconds of abrasion resistance in a slideboymom hoodies CE-approved back, shoulder, and elbow protectorssmite hoodie

Owner Barry Samms denied the hoodie was targeted at teenage gang members and said it was primarily aimed at US customers concerned about gun violence. Mothers Against Murder and Aggression said it spread "the fear factor". Lyn Costello, founder of the campaign group also known as Mamaa, said it sent out the wrong message. We want to encourage them away from a life of violence not towards it "I don't think it helps.

It spreads the fear factor and makes teenagers think they are invincible. "It disgusts me that companies think about money rather than the safety of our kids. "We want to encourage them away from a life of violence not towards it." A total of 11 teenagers have died as a result of violent crime in London since the start of the year. The top is made from a fibre called Dyneema, which is thinner than the material used to make traditional bullet-proof vests. Mr Samms, who owns the Romford firm, said he could only manufacture a hoodie because it was not possible to put a zip into bullet-proof material. I don't see that there is much of a market in the UK, because luckily we have such strict gun laws He said: "Adults wear hoodies too. My mum wears one and you don't see her hanging out on street corners. "We really thought last year when we brought out the stab-proof top that they were going to be for teenagers, yet they are the last people to actually buy one."

He said a mother from Walthamstow, east London, whose son had been mugged three times, was among customers asking for bullet-proof clothing. "We've had quite a lot of interest from the US and a couple of calls from the UK," he said. "I don't see that there is much of a market in the UK, because luckily we have such strict gun laws. "People don't have to go to such extremes to protect themselves over here."
