Battle 6.0 Motorcycle Vest

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.
