I’m reprinting here, in French and slightly reworded, the short history of motorcycle protection standards for protective shells and pants and jackets as told by the main researchers and experts behind the MotoCAP protocol here: "A guide to designing and manufacturing motorcycle protective clothing" (PDF document written December 2022).

The authors are :

• Christopher Hurren, researcher Univ. of Deakin [Researchgate] ;
• Paul Varnsverry, dir. of certification body PVA-PPE [LinkedIn] ;
• Liz de Rome, researcher Univ. of Deakin [ResearchGate] [LinkedIn].

This sheet summarizes the information I was able to glean on the net about the Rukka D3O Air XTR level 2 protective shells (limbs only, I don’t look at the D3O CP1/L1 thorax which is level 1).
