Obviously some developer decided that in the world of 2070 it was popular enough that protective gear was commonplace. I'd envisioned the jump suit as being used for Parkour. After all, it is also listed as being used in drum head skins, and I don't think anyone is suggesting using them to protect yourself from bullets! Kevlar does not do this and I would suggest that the referral to kevlar is simply to point out that pretty high tech stuff is used in both military armour and extreme sports wear. IIRC the urban explorer jump suit is made with special compounds that harden on impact among other things. It is also used in extreme sports equipment, high-tension drumhead applications, animal handling protection, composite aircraft construction, fire suits, yacht sails, as an asbestos replacement, sometimes in loudspeaker cones, and recently, even in R/C model helicopter blades. Originally intended to replace the steel belts in tires, it is probably the most well known name in It was invented by Stephanie Kwolek of DuPont from research into high performance polymers, and patented by her in 1966 and first marketed in 1971. It is also very heat resistant and decomposes above 400 ☌ without melting. Kevlar is the DuPont Company's brand name for material made out of synthetic fiber of poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide which is constructed of para-aramid fibers that the company claims is five times stronger than the same weight of steel, while being lightweight, flexible and comfortable. Oh, and there's usually NO reason at all to let security anywhere wear anything worse - add a corporate logo and use as basic uniform. Not to mention fassion - those things are hot for Slumming.Īside the more obvious reasons to where them - like driving a bike, courier work or as light security armour. ) - in fact they are a pretty common sight.
) and with lots of the less organized disciplines (Train Surfing, Highway Jousting.
The 2070 version is a little better suited to movement as the material is lighter and less stiff, and they are used in many of the more 'body-oriented' sports (Urban Brawl, Combat Bike. and they are pretty heavy and not very comfy when not on a bike. so they are made out of heavy synthetic or leather with heavy Kevlar plates (enough for half an armored vest) on all vulnerable areas. That means they have to be sturdy as hell not to burn through with the friction. Why are they armored ? They are build so you have a chance to survive falling of your bike at high speed.
