Description
Cowhide in 2.5 ounce (1.4mm) thickness is the primary ingredient in
all SKATING SUIT suits, custom and ready to wear. All leather is
drum dyed for the richest and most durable colors.
The suits use a single ply leather in most areas with the exception
of parts that are prone to contact the ground. The knees, elbows,
shoulders, hips and butt all have a second layer of leather for
added durability and abrasion protection.
Kevlar- Genuine Schoeller Keprotec is used throughout all our
products for excellent flexibility, abrasion protection and
lightweight breathable panels. These panels are in the crotch,
behind the knees and running from the armpit to the wrist. Dont be
fooled by manufacturers using imitation Kevlar. If its not
Schoeller Keprotec, it is not a true Kevlar product. Pads- We use
medium density closed cell foam in 3/8 thickness in the knees,
elbows and back. These pads are pliable and protective while still
allowing maximum flexibility and aerodynamics.
Lining- All SKATING SUIT suits are lined with a nylon and polyester
mesh which wicks sweat and acts as a buffer between your skin and
the porous back of the leather.
Zippers- All our zippers are genuine YKK brass zippers with
locking, non-slip slides. These slides will not unzip by themselves
which allows us to not need a restraint snap or Velcro on our
zippers. If the zipper tab is down, it is not moving.
Fleece- The collar of all our suits utilizes non pill Polar Fleece.
It is soft and cool in the hea
And insulates nicely when its cold.
