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?
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

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

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.
