Great Idea for new Body armor
- Thread starter zmtber

SPYDER clothing...they were at the trade show. They look great too.
I think we should all start wearing
and see how people ride the rock gardens and north shore builds.......
Where did you find it for sale?
I havent found em yet. Those are the MSRP. Im calling my Spyder dealer tomorrow to see if they can even get them yet.
bizutch,
What Spyder has done is include a non-penetrable material (like a kevlar or something) over certain portions of the d3o. I wish I'd taken a picture of it at the show. I'll contact one of the Spyder guys and ask about it. It does just what you ask it to do - protect you from those sliding gravelly falls and something that might penetrate the material.
Here is a video we shot at Interbike of the d3o in action!
Yes, that's my hand.
edit: I must admit, though, the shovel to the head vid is really hard to beat! I love the "konk" sound it makes - it's like being in the cartoons. Next they'll be dropping a piano on his head.

Oh man. What do I need to do to find out ASAP when I can buy something? I showed the site, your post and the brittish vid to a few of my friends who suck at the internet too much to find it themselves and they all want some armor - most for bikes, one guy for paint ball and another just so he can wear it and feel invincible when drunk (probably not recomended, but whatever).
Very cool. We remember seeing this stuff during the last winter olympics as they were trying to make snowboard fashion beanies that doubled as helmets. This looks like a much better application.
the goo demonstration was possibly one of the neatest things I've ever seen.
Could you imagine at a bar..."Hey, I bet I can let you punch me in the face with this goo on my face and I won't feel a thing.

Heck yeah, or with the beanie on - "Hey, bet i can break this bottle over my head without flinching"

it actually shows one of those products being used "just like we would do on our bikes"
