what exactly do most of the motogp riders wear? all the protective gear. Is there a breakdown sample of all the gear from top to down?

not for motogp, but for bsb... but this might help to give an idea of what goes into their suits:

i'd curious to know which back protectors the motogp guys actually use and such.
i'm guessing they use whichever their sponsors give them... or a sub4.
Neato, to both vid and article. [thumbsup]
colin edwards runs a bohn as does hayden per bohns website. I have a bohn and it is verry protective. most motogp suits are kangaroo and insanely light in compairasent to most retail suits. [bacon]
How about the airbag protection in their suit? I was watching motogp and when they go down suit puffs up. BBC commentator mentioned the airbag. Any details on that?
only dainese and a*'s has that tech right now. basically have a whole crapload of sensors in the hump in the back that sense when you have an off.
i think there might be one dainese suit out that's offering it as a one piece but i could be wrong about that. pretty expensive though and it's 1st gen tech which is always a no no for me.
