5 LEVELS OF PROTECTION
Class C
For garments that include impact protectors but offer no abrasion resistance (armored motocross shorts, etc.).
Class B (45km/h)
For garments that offer abrasion resistance but offer no impact protection.
Class A (45km/h)
For garments that offer both impact protection and abrasion resistance with very good freedom of movement (light pants, leggings, etc.).
Class AA (70km/h)
For garments that offer a good level of impact protection and abrasion resistance, while still offering decent freedom of movement (jeans, jackets, etc.).
Class AAA (120km/h)
For garments that offer the highest level of protection but with the most movement restriction (leather suits, hard textile garment, etc.).
The key is to find the balance between all those levels. At Bowtex®, we aim to offer the maximum level of protection WITH the best flexibility. That means, using the strongest fabrics, with a garment construction that fits the bill.
