To ride a two-wheeled vehicle has always been associated with freedom, dynamism, and rebellion. Almost once in life, we have been victims of this vehicle charme. Nowadays, a motorbike is no more “only a passion”, but represents a true alternative to common vehicles for everyday displacements. This means that motorbike accidents could happen more frequently. To reduce the crash effects on the motobiker body different safety systems have been designed, in particular we will focus on body protectors, directly integrated into clothing. So the objective of this thesis will be to analyse the motorcycle world and the most frequent injuries reported in accidents, to properly define an efficient brief, and propose a new protector to answer to effective needs. Due to the everyday use of motorbike, the purpose will be to try to find a solution that can be both protective and comfortable, as much as possible.
