Seams and Materials
We take stitching and seam construction very seriously. We double and triple-stitch our leathers, using only the highest grade of nylon thread available to provide maximum strength. PILOT suits are made with premium grade milled cowhide. This remarkably supple leather provides exceptional tear and abrasion resistance. Swiss-made Schoeller Keprotec is also used for air flow and increased movement in the arms, crotch and back of knee.
Suit Armor
The armor used in our professional suits is the result of years of testing and refinement . The construction is unique to PILOT and provides superior durability. Our leathers are reinforced with anatomically molded CE armor in the arms, shoulders and knees/shins. The CE armor is sewn into a foam comfort pad and then stitched into the suit using a comfort foam pocket. This method results in a more comfortable fit.
As far as crash worthiness, Dane Westby went down at 170 mph at Daytona on the worst pavement possible...got up, walked away...all seams have the PASS system and are double or triple-stitched...Carrie repairs a ton of suits and PILOT is as good as it gets! If I were to take a bad fall, I would definitely hope I was in PILOT leathers; PILOT takes safety very seriously!
