The norm in cycling changes. Bikes are different. Diets are different. Training is different. If there's a verifiable benefit to something those looking for an early adopters will jump on board. If it works everyone else follows. One only needs to look at the hard on people have for things aero. That said, few crash enough to justify wearing something that will be hotter and breath less. Plus looking at the pictures I find it hard to believe that that stuff won't shred like everything else. Plus plus, I'm pretty sure my team would have an issue with me showing up with black shorts. You think PCad is surly now....just wait until I leave his logo home for something that belongs in a motocross race.

People have tried to make armor lycra, it's hot and uncomfortable.
