Installing Vanson's GP floating armor in a Racing Suit

Our current generation of hard armor, the fruit of extensive racetrack experience, is the patented Vanson Grand Prix Floating Armor System. The armor pieces are assembled at Vanson of a hard-thermoplastic disc sewn to closed-cell impact-absorbent polyethylene foam, laminated on both sides to Velcro pile for strength and rigidity, with the edges encapsulated in our 3.5-ounce leather for added protection from the edges of the plastic shell. The Floating Attachment System - shared with our current generation of Soft Armor - brings another important benefit: in an accident the forces of landing and sliding can cause the jacket or suit to pull away from you - the Floating Armor System allows the armor to stay in position.
