Let our expert engineers take this question: Why carbon fibre?
Nowadays, carbon fibre is used in the most disparate industries demanding outstanding mechanical properties.
Among structural materials, carbon fibre features the highest specific mechanical properties. In other words, carbon fibre products characterise in their high strength and lightness, while offering attractive aesthetics with the famous “mesh” look.
Although its complex and costly manufacturing process makes of carbon fibre an elite material, numerous products (such as sports protections, braces, protheses), have come to depend on it to deliver superior results.
It is indeed for these reasons that GL SPORT chose carbon fibre as the main material for its creations. For example, sports protections made with this material provide athletes with a high protection level for a modest increase in size and weight. More importantly, no other material currently in use can deliver such notable benefits.
