Hi Martin -
You may want to contact a former professor of mine - an expert in protective
clothing (including sports equipment). She has written a book on the
subject and many, many articles. Her name is Susan Watkins and she taught
for many years at Cornell University. She is now retired - but still
speaks, writes and consults. If you would like me to put you in touch with
her - I can probably find her contact information.
Feel free to contact me off-line.
