The padding must be fire resistant, also bear inmind its not to just protect you while you have your helmet on, with your helmet off you are more like to die from a 10mile hour crash then at a 60mph without one
Also bear in mind if you crash or car rolls your arms fly about, and trust me when i say this, even with proper padding it still really frickING HURTS!
as I'm one of the scrutiner at the BDC if i see anything that looks like it should be on my water pipes at home.. thats were you'll be going .. home
