Built with a Kevlar® bottom, these HYABUSA flat oil pan Diapers are designed to fit under an engine fitted with low pipes. These Diapers are built to stop leaking oil from reaching the rear tire or the track. We construct our Diapers of Fire Retardant material developed for NASCAR use in Pit Lane.
Kevlar® straps and brass D-rings hold the Diaper in location under the motor. All Vanson Diapers take replaceable absorbent pads that "drop in" to the diaper - so if a Diaper becomes oil-soaked a fresh new pad can replace the soiled one in a matter of minutes.
Kevlar® 1? Webbing is one of the lightest and strongest webbings available. It has a 2000 pound or 1500 pound breaking strength and weighs just 3.3 grams per foot. It has almost no stretch and doesn’t absorb much water. This webbing is extremely resistant to friction and heat and only starts to decompose at 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Kevlar® is affected by UV light and after 450 hours of direct sunlight it can turn brown and lose up to 50% of its breaking strength. This is important to note, and this product is not ideal to be used on a permanent outdoor basis that would be receiving a lot of UV exposure from sunlight. Made in the USA

GS 1100 SUZUKI - any year. Bottom measured flat is 11 Long x 9.5 Wide
Fire Retardent shell re-inforced with ARAMID on the bottom to protect from exhaust pipe heat on bikes with low pipes. The F.R. shell is made from TARGA - a material used on F.R. canopies at NASCAR races along pit-lane. P.I.G. pads are the absorbent padding - encapsulated by a mesh pocket. Either the pad alone or the pad and pocket are easily replaced as needed.
Your jackets are not only great protection, but they are the most functional motorcycle jackets I have owned (and I've owned a few). I must say that I am now thoroughly convinced of the quality of your products.

I just wanted to write you a letter saying thanks for building such a great product. I know you probably hear this a lot, but I was recently in a motorcycle crash while wearing your Enfield jacket and I believe it helped save me from serious injury. In the course of the accident, a Jeep ran over me while I was wearing your jacket. Please allow me to explain:
On May 18th 2013, I was on the way home from buying a second motorcycle and I was following a lifted Jeep Cherokee. The 16 year old driver of the Jeep (with a brand new license) turned right into a street and then whipped left to make a U-turn without looking. Unfortunately, I had no time to stop, and collided with his driver's side door. I was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. The driver then decided that he should move his Jeep off the road, and proceeded to run me over in the process. His driver's side rear tire drove up onto me at my waist, rolled up my spine and directly over my head.
I was extremely lucky - I am miraculously unhurt after this accident. I sustained a concussion, but I have no broken bones, no lacerations, no internal injuries, and no internal bleeding. Just the concussion and some bumps and deep bruises - not even any road rash! I was released from the hospital 6 hours after the crash. Considering that the driver of the Jeep drove over my body, I believe your product saved me from serious injury. The jacket has some light scuffs, but there is hardly a mark on the leather. My jacket was a standard Enfield with a custom dark brown competition weight leather - the thickest leather I have owned. Unfortunately, the ambulance crew cut it off me before I had a chance to say anything, and it was completely ruined as a result.
I have owned several of your jackets before, but this one was my go-to jacket. It fit me perfectly and it moved with me when I rode. Your jackets are not only great protection, but they are the most functional motorcycle jackets I have owned (and I've owned a few). I must say that I am now thoroughly convinced of the quality of your products. I will be replacing this jacket with another Vanson as soon as my finances will allow, and I will proudly tell my friends about how your product played a large role in keeping me alive and healthy. My wife, who is currently pregnant, thanks you as well. I believe this means even more to her than it does to me.

I have been a Vanson fan for years but this past year has made me more than a lifetime owner/ advertiser of Vanson products. I had 2 wrecks on my CBR1100XX in 2005 and each time I was wearing my Vanson gear...each and every time they [Vanson gear]have saved me from abrasions and major injury..The jacket and pants still look brand new except for a "little character". Thanks for making such a great product, I really consider them a factor in the reason I am here today!

My jacket just turned 30 years old. It is as strong and sturdy as the day it was bought, and more supple than I could have imagined leather to be. It is one of my oldest and most prized possessions. My jacket has seen probably 30 of 50 states, as well as some track day usage. I wear it regardless of heat or cold, and although it doesn't have the venting features of your wonderful new products, it's specialness more than makes up for that for me. It has a mature permanence about it, and I believe the jacket will never wear out. I would recommend your product to anyone.
just bought one of your suits and it helped me already

Here is a picture of me in action in “the horseshoe” at Texas World Speedway on my way to victory in the HW Twins Novice class. I have had these leathers for two years now, and they have performed well in several crashes, and I just now had to send them off for repair after a recent get-off at Hallett.

I ride a honda TransAlp xlv650. I got this Vanson when I was studying in Boston this past fall. and as one of my teachers there, Bill Burke said, there is no compromise in safety. Buy a Vanson.
