ABSTRACT:
A protective garment for use when riding or racing motorcycles or other vehicles in which the rider is exposed and may require aerodynamic advantages. The garment, in one aspect, includes floating armor elements which protect the wearer's body when the garment is being dragged along or against an impact surface. The armor elements can be either removably or permanently attached to the lining. In another aspect, the garment can include a bulk-reducing closure element which forces the garment, when closed, into an aerodynamic profile which is relatively easy and comfortable to maintain because of reduced bulk. The garments can include air permeable vent openings and adjustable, air-impermeable vent covers.
