Title: New hand protection base layer? (Zoombang)
Post by: Thorsteinn on 2012-12-13, 05:59:07

Anyone had a chance to check this out? I'm thinking it could make for a good base layer for your gauntlets.

Huh, looks interesting. I wonder what the pads are made of?

The look like they would fit under my other leather gauntlets I wear for Sabre, yes very interesting indeed! :)

It works by stiffening upon impact. The buzz words they like to use are "viscoelastic polymer".

So, something like a non-newtonian fluid. It might be worth a shot.

Certainly looks interesting. Visco-robo-whatsit and all. I've heard of the padded shorts from that company.

Zoombang is a great company, and the pads work quite well.
