Simply put Aramid is a badass material that was created by scientists who are much smarter than us. It is a high tech synthetic fiber known for its strength (5x stronger than steel) and heat resistance. Aramid is a strong, lightweight material that is commonly used in protective clothing, such as bulletproof vests and firefighter gear or in our case motowear. We use Aramid to line the majority of our products because we believe it’s the most reliable material to protect you from road rash and keep you comfortable at the same time..
