kevlar motoport
I have the same thing but in Mesh.
It's pretty much indestructable. By all means go to a laundrymat and use one of the big machines. You don;t need much soap at all, and then just air dry if. If it is brand new and very stiff, put it in a big commercial dryer with very very low heat and let it tumble for an hour. You aren't trying to dry it you are just loosening it up. And you do not need to remove the pads to wash or dry.
Great product - some say, perhaps the best. I have an Aerostich one piece and the Motoport Kevlar Ultra II mesh and I much prefer the Motoport. I am not aware of any other product that is all kevlar.
Some have Kevlar stitching, or kevlar this or that.......motoport is ALL kevlar which is why it is so expensive, and worth it IMHO.
