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 article describes the SAS-TEC SC1/06EVO level 2 protectors, which are probably the most covering and protective on the market.

At the end of the article I show how I integrated them to a generic motorcycle jeans as knee protections, and to my winter jacket as elbow protections.

The photos in the article are mine.
