An article appeared in my inbox related to "Body Armour".
The new material mentioned is Deflexion, a silicone fabric that hardens when impacted.
www.dow.com/en-usI was wondering how long it would be before this could be tested as a lightweight impact vest (possibly incorporated into a rashie), for those engaged in more extreme Kiting action?
Perhaps an opportunity for a kite related entrepreneur?

Cheers
