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.

Look like Europe is each year putting more obstacles for the Chinese
manufacturers!

Can't wait to see the pictures

I don't know if obtacles is the right word. They need checking on
judging by some of the recent scares with deadly chemicals harming
people using products made over there. Also, the EU is aware that any
clothing claiming to offer protection needs to be tested or there is a
good chance products won't do the job the one time you come to rely on
it. It's easier to make something that resembles say a motorbike helmet
but is completely usless in a crash, at which point it's too late. It is
a pain for small volume manufacturers though, I agree.

Definitely there's a preocupation with security, and that's really
good.

But my dad works with Motorcycle Helmets, clothing and acessories, and
some factorys are running out of products because EU just changed some
laws. They said that are looking only for better security, but I must
say that's pretty weird, because after years importing from China, they
just changed laws now...

EU have a great security system for Helmets, but they're trying to stop
a bit the comerce with Asia for sure...


The entire world is a bit worried with China. Lot's of countries are
changing laws to stop a bit commerce with China. It's almost impossible
to compete with their prices. Cars, toys, bikes, eletronic stuff...
Everything is cheap... And some years ago they were not able to make
stuff with good quality, now they are, and many times better than our
countries...


Well, let's come back to the topic

This is really really great news about the patella protection,
especially for people like me with patella injuries.

I just might have to get some!

Thanks Kris!
