*If you plan on using back armour, we recommend going up one size* - The best way to find out your size is to measure a hoodie you already own, and that fits the way you want while on your bike (factoring in any garments you wish to layer underneath). Lay your hoodie 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 reach the seam join on each side, even if you have to bend a little around the sides of the jacket. Compare your measurement to the size chart above.

Model in the photos is 6ft, 83kgs, has a 100cm chest and is wearing a size XL.
So happy with the hoodie wanted something casual but was still going to give me the peace of mind while daily commuting by bike. 5’10 75kg went with a large fits armour well. Highly recommend.
Hi Saul, thanks for such a great review! We're so stoked to hear that the hoodie ticks all the boxes when it comes to protection as well as keeping the casual and comfortable look.
I've had multiple jackets over the years but this is by the best one I've had, it looks like a normal hoodie but you're protected (and you actually feel protected).
Great product and I would recommend for everyone.
Thanks for the review Kai! We're really stoked to hear how much confidence the hoodie gives you in protection and thank you for recomnending it!
Unreal riding sweater thanks boys!
Stoked to hear that you love it Maxwell! Cheers!
Been eyeing this up for a while and finally decided to jump on it. I grabbed some sastec shoulder and elbow padding to go with it, its barely noticeable and I can happily wear the hoodie on and off the bike.
It is incredibly comfortable and moveable. Recommend going a size up as it is sized slightly smaller, took that advice from a previous review and mine fits perfectly :D
The key inspiration for me was being able to wear a non moto jacket on top as I have quite a few, while still feeling safe and protected on my bike. It is perfect for that.
My only regret was not grabbing the back Armour, which I will do with my next order when I pick up something else from you (any recommendations?), I tried to chuck a piece in from an older jacket I had but it did not fit correctly.
Only comment I had is with the zip on the waterproof pocket, I would like to see the zip moved from the top of that pocket to the side (or move the pocket down), as I found when I tried to put my phone in I could not get enough clearance and hit the top of the normal hoodie pocket which was a shame. Any items going into that waterproof pocket need to be quite small and thin.
It was definitely worth the wait. Amazing hoodie, great design and comfy! Definitely improved my confidence on the bike, feels very protective. Had a little trouble with sizing. I'm 6ft and have quite broad shoulders. I'm usually an XL for non-moto clothing however I ended up switching to a 2XL and it fits perfectly even with all the armour inserts in. Would definitely recommend this.
