Protective gears are needed just everywhere. Using materials highly robust makes these gears solid but heavy and uncomfortable. However, Sweedish-based POC has come up with a realistically simple yet wonderfully comfortable concept of the Visco Elastic Polymer Dough, which is a protective armor made in the ordinary memory foam used in the mattresses.
Designed primarily for bikers, this protective clothing employs an impact-reactive material which stiffens on impact and thus acts as a brace against injury. Felicitated with the second Materialica Design and Technology award, the company says, it products are successfully tested by athletes in real life situations.
Yes, the bionic memory foam armor from POC is a great gift for bikers, but I think the protective gear surely has potential to make into other sports and yeah, in to the armed forces too.
