Tested by the MOD and withstand knife cuts and slashes.

Would they hold up againts tarmac though if worn under a conventional jacket?

One word for you

'Ouch my elbows/hands/feet/knee's/balls'

Seems like even if they work they would protect the least damaged bit of you in a crash.

would want to see a pic of the whole thing to get an idea how it looks, as could be good as just a shirt.

however as bike protection i dont think its strong enough to protect your back etc on a crash and its not designed for that, and as mentioned above it would sure hurt your arms.

I agree, the seller does say they do the t shirt in full length down to your wrists as well. I emailed them just out of curiosity.

I wasnt meaning just going out wearing this, I meant as additional protection under a conventional jacket or textiles instead of a normal t shirt.

Might be a good thing to wear under your jacket for an extra bit of protection though?

Pity you can't see more of it in the picture as i could be tempted by something like that...

I suspect that is a Technical T Shirt designed to stop you cooking in your armour

Draggin Jeans do sell a Kevlar sweatshirt though, which might just havge to go on my birthday list. Very Happy

What would be more useful is Kevlar long johns/shorts, that you could wear under normal jeans/trousers instead of wearing Draggin/Hoods.
