Gerbing's Temp Controller Pouch

"Hideout is a British company specializing in made to measure leathers and it has scored maximum marks in our test.

Only a titanium-covered Dianese knee section lasted longer on the abrasion rig than Hideout’s 87.24 seconds and it took a plastic-covered Alpinestars shoulder to last longer than Hideout’s 65.29 seconds in the shoulder abrasion test.

Both the elbow and hip sections lasted all the way to our maximum 1000kpa measurement – 200kpa above the level needed to score top marks.

The armour was the best on test, too. The average energy passing through the four protectors was 13.67kn, well below the maximum of 35.

If we were to rank the suits from one to 18 on their performance, the hideout suit would be ranked firmly at the top of the list."
