From the d3o site it looks like there are a couple companies making motorcycle gear.
The first was the Racer brand (http://www.racermoto.com/index.php?)that started out with only gloves but now seems to have jackets that also have d3o. Wow, they've had d3o gear since 2008? Where have I been? Anyway, since racer is such a common word it's difficult for me to find their stuff anywhere other than their website... which is in French. The translate button is the bottom left corner. Oh, and their search function is kinda broken and all their d3o gloves are listed as either winter or mid season gloves even though they actually look like summer gloves.
The HYOD site doesn't seem complete right now. but it's cool that it's leather. Wait... am I reading that price correctly? Nearly $2,900 for that first suit and $2,300 for the other 2? Wow...
Hey, if it gets you out of the hospital quicker. . .
it's made out of the same stuff as the Happy Fun Ball
Don't taunt d3o leathers or wear them while pregnant

it sounds like the stuff Master Chief has in his armor.
Anyone using d3o product? If yes, what is your take on it and which product are you using? Researching forcefield as well. Trying to figure out replacement to my icon armour (which i find out is not really ideal)
Doesn't seem d3o has really made it to the states yet. I've been watching this product for a while, since TOB. About the only people using it, that's easily purchased in the US is Armadillo Scooter Wear
