Abstract
The Motorcycle Clothing Assessment Program (MotoCAP) was launched in September 2018 to improve motorcyclists’ safety by providing riders the ability to choose gear based on its relative protection, which should result in increased availability of more protective gear on the market. One year on from the launch, this paper considers the performance of clothing currently on the market, and how consumers and industry have responded to the program.
