Resurgence Pekev Riding Shirt - Grey Check

Resurgence Gear have developed the 3rd generation fabric Pekev; one of the strongest and stable fabrics available. Made from the world's toughest polymer with the highest tensile strength in yarn, Pekev has raised the standard in terms of protection, pushing the limits of Aramid and Ethylene fibres using the right spinning techniques to improve the tensile strength then converting them into fabric with the right blends. In comparison to other aramid fibres, Pekev is thinner, lighter, and stronger. In addition Pekev is more durable and stable being also highly resistant to corrosive chemicals with the exception of oxidizing acids. The fabric has extremely low moisture absorption and a very low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating, and is highly resistant to abrasion - in some forms being 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. It is very resistant to water, moisture, most chemicals, UV radiation, and micro-organisms. So, drag after drag and wash after wash, where others fail to perform in durability and long life Resurgence Gear products perform for extended periods. The fabric has already been field tested internationally and is now is ready for motorbike riders around the world.
