Abstract: Boot (10), in particular a motorcyclist's boot, with a leg-piece (12) and closing means for varying the dimensions of the boot (10) in the zone of the heel (11), characterized in that said closing means comprise at least one elongated part (22) which extends between two sides of the leg-piece (12) above the heel (11), surrounding it at the rear, and is tightened around the heel (11) in an adjustable manner.

Abstract: A garment is provided with at least one inflatable protecting device, adapted to be worn by a person travelling on a motorcycle or the like, includes a radio receiver, a trigger circuit and non-volatile memories. A programmable logic unit interfacing with the radio receiver and communicating with remote radio transmitters mounted on a motorcycle or the like through an identification code, manages and stores in the memories the identification codes detected by the radio receiver. The wearer of the garment can in this way select, via an interface, a code among those available in the memory. In an accident, the air bags actuate.

Abstract: Item of clothing convertible between different configurations, one of which envisages a vest (30) removably fixed onto a jacket (10) using fixing means (21, 35, 22, 36) different from those which are used to fix together the front portions (1, 12) of the jacket.

Abstract: Garment (10) for sporting activity, in particular a suit for motorcyclists, which is made of breathable fabric in selected regions and comprises a protective shield (40). At least the bottom portion (44) of the shield is removably inserted underneath a layer (58) of puckered elastic material fixed to the breathable fabric.

Abstract: An arrangement for protecting the back against bumps, comprising a shield and a plurality of plates, which are linked with each other and fastened on to the shield. Each plate overlaps by an extent corresponding to approximately half of its length the adjacent plate and is kept jointed together with all other plates by a connection element which extends along the longitudinal axis of the arrangement and is provided with integral means for connecting with the various plates so as to enable each plate to rotate to a limited extent, but freely in all directions.

Abstract: A garment, provided with at least one inflatable protecting device, adapted to be worn by a person travelling on a moving means, comprises a radio receiver (34, 35), a trigger circuit (33) and non-volatile memories (32, 37). A programmable logic unit (31) interfacing with the radio receiver (35) and communicating with remote radio transmitters (24, 25) mounted on a moving means through an identification code, manages and stores in the memories (37) the identification codes detected by the radio receiver (35). The wearer of the garment can in this way select, via an interface (40), a code among those available in the memory (37). Use: actuation of air bags incorporated in the garment in case of detection of an accident. Advantages: management of the mutual electronic recognition of the garment and the moving means.

Abstract: The information relating to physical and/or biomedical parameters of a person carrying out, in real conditions, an activity distinguished by high mechanical stresses is detected by sensors (10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 30) which are mounted on, or form part of, a garment worn while carrying out said activity. During all the stages of said activity this information is converted into data in digital format which are stored in an electronic recording device (100) or “data logger”. Advantages: the stored data may be used by other persons also far from the location where the activity is being performed and/or at a later time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motorcycling glove wherein two or more fingers are connected together with the use of strips of leather or equivalent system. A rotation of the glove fingers with respect to the hand fingers can be avoided in case of a fall and the seamed joints along the fingers are prevented from breaking.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motorcycling glove wherein two or more fingers are connected together with the use of strips of leather or equivalent system.

Abstract: Supporting device, particularly usable for motorcycling boots including a semirigid body which is formed monolithically and can be associated with the boot upper. The body is provided with a band which surrounds the lateral and rear regions of the foot. The body also has a pair of wings which embrace the malleolar region. A device is thus obtained which has optimum support characteristics for the upper and protective characteristics for the ankle region of the user.
