what do motogp racers wear? (detail gears)

[ab]

what exactly do most of the motogp riders wear?  all the protective gear.  Is there a breakdown sample of all the gear from top to down?

not for motogp, but for bsb... but this might help to give an idea of what goes into their suits:

i'd curious to know which back protectors the motogp guys actually use and such.

[thought]

i'm guessing they use whichever their sponsors give them... or a sub4.

colin edwards runs a bohn as does hayden per bohns website.  I have a bohn and it is verry protective.  most motogp suits are kangaroo and insanely light in compairasent to most retail suits.

How about the airbag protection in their suit?  I was watching motogp and when they go down suit puffs up.  BBC commentator mentioned the airbag.  Any details on that?

[thought]

only dainese and a*'s has that tech right now.  basically have a whole crapload of sensors in the hump in the back that sense when you have an off.

i think there might be one dainese suit out that's offering it as a one piece but i could be wrong about that.  pretty expensive though and it's 1st gen tech which is always a no no for me.
