    d3o impact stuff

    d3o Interesting stuff. The info is poor and some of the products are in non-english languages soooo.....

    But the basic idea seems to be a product that is rubbery until impact when it stiffens. Sounds like a great armour for riding

    I realize it can't possibly be as hip as a material that would be used to make an iband.

    But the difference is this stuff firms on impact if I understand correctly.

    Buy an Aerostitch with "TF3" armor and get it now.

    (And yes, if you punch the backprotector, it does act different than if you slowly push it with a finger.)

    Super cool. I wanted a Darien anyway. This ups the ante.
    ...dude you ride an offroad bike with slicks, 1/2 the weight of a GS, double the suspension, with a browning 50 cal going off 32" from your skull as a daily freaking driver - I'd expect anything except a nitro dragbike to be bland by comparison - SSG
