Greetings.
I am looking to develop a prototype for a new type of sportswear. Impact protection is an important element of my design. I was looking for some kind of material to be on the exterior of my apparel. If this material could itself provide some modicum of protection itself, then that would be a bonus. I came across your site while searching for carbon fibre look fabric or cloth, as I was only thinking from an aesthetics point of view. But if there is something that not only looks like I want but also has a practical use, then all the better.
What would you recommend? Most of my impact protection is dealt with elsewhere, but my apparel would be subjected to kicks. Naturally the fabric would need to be flexible, durable and breathable. Also, washable would be nice.
Cheers,
Alasdair
