2009 KH Percussion Armor
Hi All, To let you know, 2009 Percussion Armor has just arrived or will be arriving in the next few weeks in most countries. These are the improvements since the last batch: -the leg wrap around is 25 mm wider for better coverage of larger calf sizes -softer more comfortable straps. -better knee curvature and patella protection -knee strap feeds through a loop on the inside to better secure the pad at the top of the knee. Percussion arm armor will also be available in some countries. Photos and more detailed specs will be online at krisholm.com in early January.

Would be hard to have all colors and sizes in stock for smaller dealers ... That's why KH have less colors than other factorys... Nice Kris...

Nice to hear the news! I may need some pads in a few months, my 661 veggie wraps are covering to little of my leg now. White would be the only color i would want besides black because it may be a little cooler in the summer. -- Any Terrain 2nd Place*)---SuperWrap-'O,* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any Terrain's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16258 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74971 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Hey Kris, I'm happy to see some great products coming out. I have questions though as to the ethics behind the production of them. I know that it can be very hard to produce armor ethically, which is why MEC hasn't gotten any new armor in quite a while, so I was wondering what kind of ethical standards you uphold in the sourcing for your armor, and how you uphold those standards? Any chance we could see MEC carrying these since they don't carry any right now? -- ntappin 'how to build a strong comfy saddle from junk.'

White could get pretty nasty looking, but a light color would be good like tan, light grey, or matching the gloves (silver?). Flames like you had in some of your vids would be sweet, or some other cool pattern. If they were available in a light color or had a cool design pattern, I'd definitely get a pair (I'm more partial to a light color). If just black I'll stick w/ my customized 661's. -- skilewis74 Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere.

Re sourcing ethics: I work through a Taiwan-based manufacturer; the factory is in Shenzen China. As a small company serving a niche market, I have no initial influence over a factory; what I can do is start small, get more valuable over time, and do my part to ask the right questions. That is a work in progress. Color options likely won't happen for the forseeable future because of minimum order quantities for even one color. An additional challenge faced this year was jumping through the legal hurdles to obtain required CE Mark certification for sales in the European Union. That required some expensive 3rd party quality testing at a facility in Italy. It took a while, but it worked out and I'm happy that despite delaying production for about 6 months it has finally been approved.
