As active motorcyclists we have fallen a lot  . And as MBW motorcycle garments designers we are trying our level best to introduce to our customers the most effective protection for reasonable price

MBW motorcycle protective clothing is presented by these safety elements:

Protective seams

Protective seams are designed to resist all kinds of abrasion.

MBW motorcycle clothing disposes of protective seams in accordance with ISO 4916 Norm.

The aim of double and triple protective seams is to keep the clothing together in case of fall and visible seams abrasion. In the pics the rider Martin Frank (Rikimoto Team) tested MBW leather suit seams resistance. The photos were taken during the Czech Endurance Cup 2009 in Brno.
