What is Covec?

Covec™ SR4 and SR6 is developed by a UK company and offers certain advantages over more traditional materials like Aramids (Kevlar) and UHMWPE’s and a lot of advantages over Polyamide yarns (like Nylon) and Polyesters yarns. In a nutshell:

1. High abrasion resistance - tests show a single layer of leather tested to CE Level 1 passes at 4.74 seconds compared to 5.21 seconds (SR4) and 6.26 seconds (SR6). These are valuable seconds you’ll need if you take a tumble.
2. High cut resistance ( 3 x that of Aramids such as Kevlar)
3. Low thermal conductivity - won’t burn you like Polyethylene’s like Dyneema may.
4. Does not degrade with washing and wearing as with most Aramids
5. High burst strength with triple stitching tested to 955 kPa.
6. Micro Climate Inside - keeping your body at a controlled temperature
7. Breathable - the knitted structure allows for good air circulation
8. Lightweight - 5 x stronger than steel for the same weight!
