will definitely always wear the chest and back protector . They fit and feel perfect when riding , I don ' t notice I ' m wearing it .”
Viscoelastic foam is that stuff that softens with body temperature and forms a shape that hugs the body , most CE rated shoulder , elbow and knee pads are a similar material . The benefits are that it fits your body and when impacted spreads the force evenly .
“ The best part of this armour is that it warms up fairly quickly once against your chest and I find it moulds beautifully to your own shape once it softens with the warmth ,” explained Lisa . “ Making it comfortable to wear with no digging in or any issues .”
Zoe agrees that the benefit of the Fempro Armour is the comfortability as well as the protection offered , “ It moulds very well to your body . I like how the crop is very tight keeping the armour hard against my body .”
Fempro and MissMxG are solely Australian owned businesses that design everything inhouse , in their Brisbane headquarters . Their exclusive range of motocross gear is made in Brisbane while the Fempro Armour is manufactured in Germany under CE ratings through Italy . Fempro Armour is rated both CE1 and CE2 ; different prices for the level of protection required .
CE , or Conformité Européene ( European Conformity ), is the standard that all European Union countries abide by and to ride a motorcycle on the road in Europe your protective gear must comply to one of the CE standards . CE Level 1 means that Fempro Armour must offer impact protection to a level that transmits a force of below 18 kilo Newtons and no single value exceeding 24 kN , whilst CE Level 2 is a higher standard that requires armour to absorb a greater amount by transmitting a lesser amount : only 9kN and no single point higher than 12kN . CE is now recognised as the international standard being used by many countries including the United States and Australia .
Stephanie points out that all Fempro Armour is ideal for any impact sport or activity to protect the chest , sternum , and upper rib cage . Each piece of Fempro Armour is individually evaluated to ensure conformity .
Although lightweight , Fempro armour is designed to work across assorted sizes from C to DD cup however , Stephanie points out that A , B , and E will still be covered .
“ The armour won ’ t prevent injuries ,” adds Stephanie . “ But will go a long way to reduce the severity .
“ We think we have the first female breast and chest protection armour company that radically changes the way females look at protection .”
