Lab Open Day 2025
The Motorcycle Clothing assessment Program (MotoCAP) is opening its doors to the motorcycling community to visit their lab and see the testing of motorcycle clothing up close.
MotoCAP is a partnership between government and industry stakeholders across Australia and New Zealand, providing information to motorcyclists about the safest gear for their ride.
Riders who wear protective clothing are less likely to be seriously injured or hospitalised if involved in a crash.
Come and see how jackets, pants and gloves are tested for MotoCAP, including:
- Abrasion resistance testing
- Impact protector testing
- Breathability testing, with a thermal sweating hot plate
- Water spray testing for water resistance.
You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss all things motorcycle gear with MotoCAP Chief Scientist Associate Professor Chris Hurren and his team.
