- the new CE EN17092 helps motorcyclists know the real resistance of an equipment... and not choose something because it looks and feels strong!

- an independent lab test against IMPACT & ABRASION not only the fabric BUT ALSO all the seam at different speed.

- it has 5 levels of resistance:

• AAA (120km/h)
• AA (70km/h)
• A (45km/h)
• B (45km/h with no impact protectors)
• C (protectors but no abrasion resistance (armored motocross shorts, etc.))

MAKE THE BEST GEAR POSSIBLE
We want to build strong and durable gear that is lightweight, flexible, breathable and yet extremely resistant.
Unlike most traditional manufacturers, we use high end technical fibers and fabrics, such as Dyneema® and DuPont™ Kevlar®) that allow us to achieve this goal, breaking the codes of conventional motorcycle protective gear.

MAKE IT LOCAL
Bowtex is based in Brussels, Belgium. Our top priority from the inception of the company was to work with partners located as close to us as possible. In this way, we create strong, long lasting relationships with our suppliers and have more control on the quality of each component. This also helps reduce CO2 emissions from transportation of goods.
