Heading out for a ride, but don’t want to wear a bulky jacket? Say hello to the ‘Trusty’ Riding Shirt from Akin Moto – the ultimate combination of style, protection and comfort.
Where comfort meets confidence – The ‘Trusty’ riding shirt is fully lined with genuine DuPont™ Kevlar® fabric that has been woven with COOLMAX® comfort fibres. This patented technology provides very high levels of abrasion resistance, but it also ‘breathes’ - keeping you cool in Summer.
Need more protection? We’ve designed the Trusty Riding Shirt to be 100% compatible with back, shoulder and elbow armour (sold separately). Please note this product requires our regular Zeus Pro Ce Level 2 Back Protector.
Need more airflow? The Trusty Riding Shirt has a hidden SmartVent™ System in the armpits and across the back – simply open up the discreet vents and you’ll keep yourself cool on those hot summer rides.
Small details make a big difference – The collar snaps down to stop it flapping against your helmet, there’s an internal water-resistant pocket for your valuables, and the sleeves are slightly longer and pre-curved so they are perfect when you’re on the bike. We’ve also used snap buttons on the front closure to make it quick and easy to put on/take off + ‘glove friendly’ YKK zippers.
No matter what you ride, the ‘Trusty’ Riding Shirt is going to be your new ‘go-to’ – both on and off the bike.

Lay your shirt or jacket flat on a table, and measure the chest, making sure to go from side seam to side seam (near the armpit like in the photo below - It's very important that you go ALL the way to the seam join). Compare your measurement to the table above.
If you're unsure of your size, please EMAIL US at support@akinmoto.com, especially if you are an international customer. We are here to help and will do whatever we can to make sure you order the right size.
Loving my Trusty Motorcycle Shirt. Comfortable, stylish and feel well protected while commuting through Sydney traffic. I've ridden on some really hot days and managed to stay pretty cool while on the move. Being a light colour also helps keep it cooler in the sun vs the majority of my other gear (which of course is black). The great product aside, customer service has been impeccable. Grant has been super helpful with regards to swapping out a size, very responsive by email and shipping was very fast. If I can make one little wish, I hope later versions of this shirt will feature a 2-way zipper ;) Either way, I'll definitely be coming back for more gear and great service. Thanks guys!
I've worn it for a while now, from 8 to 34 degrees. It vents great, comfortable, and looks great as well. With enough pockets for a daily commute or weekend trip. The lighter color makes it a better choice for sunny days. With the vents open you can really feel the airflow through it. When closed, it is good enough for colder days. For sizing you can always count on Grant to get you on the right track.
Thanks for such a thorough review Manuel! We're stoked to hear the range of conditions that the Trusty Shirt has been awesome for riding in!
Great gear and customer service. Will be buying again for sure. Cheers, lads
Thanks for the review Franc! We're so glad we could provide an awesome customer experience here! Cheers!
Real quality stuff these guys are making - the finish, the hardware, the kevlar lining..Just rode home in 29° comfortably. The vents work great and the protection is as good as it gets. Had a great back and forth with Grant regarding sizing, and had to get a replacement size for my original order. He organised this the same day and has gone above and beyond what any other company in the game would provide in terms of service. 10/10. Great stuff gang!
Thanks so much for the review Lewis! We're so stoked to hear how well the Trusty Shirt performed in the heat, and stoked that we could help you out and make it a great experience!
Exactly what i wanted, light but safe, perfect for hot weather.
Hi Marc, thanks for the review! We're so stoked to hear it was exactly what you're after!
