ping, thats different i must say. can just see you in one of those :D :D nifty idea though. like you say, could move into other markets. :)

Spidey Suit :lol: :lol: I can feel my spidey senses tingling :twisted:

Claire,

I think that stuff fits like "shrink wrap"... While it may look oh so kewl on a figure like yours, us fat gits will have to stick with our Alpine Stars :lol:

Yet. :lol:

Actually I like the look of this, even though I'll doubtless be tarred with the brush of the nanny brigade, as I think it has a lot of potential - if it can be made so that it's actually practical to use and is also affordable I reckon the biking market will be huge.

I like the thought of it. I can't help thinking though that after a few vigorous knee downs (I know you are secretly partial to), the leathers, if sensitive, might think it was crash impact and harden, which is fine until you come to a set of lights and can't straighten your leg to put your foot down. Oh the sight of people falling over at traffic lights all over the place on a Sunday morning :lol:

:lol:

I like the idea, but why do I get an urge to go to the gym and work on my six pack? :wink: :lol:

Can you imagine clipping a wing mirror whilst filtering , then ones arm going all stiff at the point of impact. :shock:

the thought just does not appeal to me :wink:

and a spare pair of socks :oops: :oops: :lol:
