Battle 6.0 Motorcycle Vest
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
We couldn't find a motorcycle vest we liked, so we created our own... and then we made that one even better.
Introducing the SIXTH generation of the 'Battle' Vest.
- NEW Protective Maxtex® 1000 D outer shell for superior abrasion resistance
- NEW Cut with smart stretch side panel - can be worn over t-shirts, hoodies and jackets
- NEW Quilted 170g insulated lining
- NEW YKK two-way zipper - let's you adjust the lower half of the vest to stop it 'riding up' when you're on the bike
- Back armour pocket (armour not included)
- Triple stitched and reinforced at impact areas
- Water resistant internal pocket (perfect to stash your valuables)
- 2 Velcro flap chest pockets + 2 hand-warmer pockets with YKK zippers
- Short ribbed collar
- Drop tail
- Snap button 'Storm Flap' - Stops wind from coming through the zipper
Protection:
The Battle Vest now features a heavy Protective Maxtex® 1000 D outer shell - this strong polyester fabric is a heavier version (66% heavier!) of what we use for our 'Alpha Jacket'. It looks amazing and provides superior abrasion resistance over all our previous vests.
Pair this with reinforced, triple-stitched seams, and you've got one very tough vest.
Need more protection? The Battle Vest is back armour compatible! We've designed the armour pocket to fit our Zeus Pro Ce Level 2 Back Protector.
Please note: Our Battle Vest sizes currently vary in terms of which Zeus Pro CE Level 2 Back Protector they require—either Regular or Large. Most sizes are compatible with the Large protector, but some still require Regular. If you're ordering a vest and a back protector together, we’ll make sure you receive the correct size to match the vest in your order. If you’re purchasing a back protector separately, or need one for a different Akin Moto jacket, please email us first to confirm which size you need.
Comfort:
We've developed a totally new fit with an integrated 'smart stretch panel' down the side seam. The two-way YKK® zipper has made a return, allowing you to adjust the fit to prevent the vest from 'riding up' when you're on the bike.
Put simply, it's our best fitting vest ever.
There's a new quilted 170g insulated lining and fleece lined pockets to keep you comfortable on those colder days + a storm flap to prevent cold air from hitting your chest.
Your favourite features are still there too - like the water resistant internal pocket (which is perfect for keeping your valuables dry and safe) + our super comfortable ribbed collar for those long days on the bike.

Well iam absolutely stoked with my new battle vest 6.0 . Quality durable material, comfortable and warm .
Aussie company Aussie sizes .
Well done Akin Moto
I have been looking for a quality riding vest for some time, I saw these guys vests at my local dealership and decided I had to get two, one for my registered Harley Owners Group chapter rides and another for the yearly xmas toy runs with the local Ulysees club so I can proudly display all the yearly ride patches for the xmas events of the past 7 years.
I got my sizing a little off, reached out to Grant at Akin Moto, he took care of organising the return and sent out the larger sizes really quick. Their communications is awesome and totally recommend their products for anyone looking. Service like this will keep them in front of mind when it comes to any other riding gear.
Thanks so much Matt. We really appreciate the great feedback and are stoked to hear both vests are getting put to good use! We're also really happy that we could also get the sizing sorted quickly for you.
Thanks again for the support and for recommending us!
This vest is replacing the previous generation. Definitely an upgrade in materials and functionality. The split main zipper is tremendous. I wish the inside chest poocket was big enough for a phone. Otherwise, it would be five stars.
Thanks for ordering with us again Nathan! We really appreciate the review and are stoked to hear the 6.0 is an upgrade from the previous generation. The feedback is really helpful and appreciate the suggestion of the chest pocket being big enough a phone. We'll make sure it's a serious consideration for the next generation.
Thanks for the review Jonathan!
We're stoked the Battle Vest 6.0 is fitting well and proving to be comfortable. Hearing you consider it as one of the best vests out there means a lot to us.
Thanks again for your support, and we hope you enjoy many great rides in it!
Absolutely love this vest , the fit is perfect and having the elastic sides makes it suitable to wear over pretty much anything from a shirt to hoodie or jacket. The quality is amazing aswell
Thanks for such an awesome review Shane! We're so stoked to hear how well the vest is working for you. Cheers for the order!
