Andromeda: motorcycle clothes without leather for riders of the future

Like many other great ideas, this one that we presented today also arose from our own necessity: Mario and Alberto, their promoters, are vegan and discovered that there were no leather -free motorcycle suits ... "So, we set aimFirst clothing brand 'Non-Leather' that overcome the current equipment."

Tenían sus ideas claras pero, también como en la mayoría de los proyectos emprendedores, los inicios no fueron sencillos: “Primero, porque con poco capital no es fácil darse a conocer en poco tiempo… Y segundo, ¡porque lanzamos nuestros primeros productos justo un mes antes de la pandemia!

It is curious.."Riders clothes that don't wear leather"!You define "accelerators of change" ...

Exact.As we always say, the leather tan.Luckily, there are currently higher synthetic materials that are already used in other sectors such as aerospace.The possibilities are almost infinite, and more respectful of animals and the environment.

We define ourselves as accelerators of change, since currently the motorcycle clothing sector is quite conservative.But there are more and more users who do not want to use materials of animal origin.

You are the only 100% vegan bike clothing brand and, also with great added value: minimalism in design, safety and comfort ...

That's how it is.Today, in the motorcycle clothing sector we are the only 100% vegan world brand.But we were clear that with this principle it was not enough.We had to show that we could overcome what there is currently without using leather.Security is one of our fundamental pillars.

And we managed to get the first certified and approved monkey for unused circuits.We have exceeded maximum certification (AAA), even tripling the minimum values required in abrasion and resistance.

We have customers from everywhere who, being vegans, could not access training in circuits, and can finally do it.Especially in the United Kingdom, which is where there are more restrictions about it.

The raw materials that you use not only respect the animal world;The minimum environmental impact of your products is impressive.

The truth is that the figures are impressive.According to the data available to everyone - and you can consult our website - 1 needed 1.890.000 liters of water to raise a cow, of which 103.950 liters (5.5%) are attributed to leather.About 6kg are produced.Leather by head, that is, every kilo of leather is approximately 17.000 liters of water.

On the contrary, in the manufacture of our synthetic leather fabric only 30 liters are spent for each kilo.That is, 566 times less.

The comparison is brutal.A leather monkey equals approximately 51.000 liters of water, mientras que el nuestro sólo 90.

That said, we always want to clarify that it is impossible to reduce the impact to zero.A mark is always left on the planet, but we try to make it the least possible without losing the maximum security values for the bikers.

Among those materials, the molecular weight polyethylene, ‘uhmwpe’ stands out.Also superfabric, kevlar, keprotec,..

High molecular weight polyethylene, or UHMWPE, is the main fabric of our Nearx suit.This polyethylene is also used in the suits of astronauts of the International Space Station.In our case it works very well, since it is more resistant than leather, but also more flexible, adapting better to the body (comfort is part of security) and its maintenance is much easier.

We also use superfabric (nylon compound and ceramic particles) in high -impact areas.It is one of the most resistant to abrasion and cutting materials, and therefore is used in the manufacture of gloves for the metallurgical industry.Ferrari also uses it in the seats of its supercar.

Kevlar is a well -known material for its use in the bulletproof vests, and both this and Keprotec are regular fabrics in our products.

In short, biker products prepared to last an eternity ...

This is the idea.Our mission is to manufacture quality products.
