Armor
Armor increases the chances of a motorcyclist surviving an accident. The most common form of armor is high density foam panels fitted into the shoulders, elbows, back, hips and knees of motorcycle PPE clothing. Separate protectors are also available, typically for the chest and back, which are worn under other items of clothing.

Famous quotes containing the word armor:
“...there are important considerations in the world beyond plain sewing and teaching dull little boys the alphabet.
