RiDE Best Buy 2008 - Forcefield Pro L2 Back Protector - May 2008 |
Forcefield Pro L2 Back Protector has RiDE BEST BUY tag again!
"Road testers found the Forcefield extremely reassuring and comfortable because it moulds to the contours of your back as it gathers heat escaping the body and feels as if it would absorb impacts well. The feeling is supported by the protection tests, with high levels of impact absorption, achieved consistently across the protective area with no weak areas. Because it is relatively slim, getting leathers over it is easy too. The average force transfer across the seven impacts was 5.6kN, comfortably under the 9kN limit for Europe’s higher Level Two standard."

Forcefield in the art world! - March 2008 |
Forcefield Body Armour in the art world!
Recently we were asked to supply some bodyarmour to be featured in a new photography art project. Not something a body armour company normally gets asked to do.
The result is a very striking powerful image and quite different to anything else we have seen involving motorcycle body armour. It is a different way of showing the Ladies back protector! For the record the products shown are the Ladies back protector and the strap on arm and leg protectors!
The photographer was Gavin Kemp, Model was Louise, The Models Academy supplied the models for the shoot.
