Introducing the Vanguard Motorcycle Hoodie, where cutting-edge technology meets casual style.
This innovative hoodie transforms traditional motorcycle wear by blending soft fleece with genuine DuPont™ Kevlar® fibres into a single-layer ‘PowerFleece’ design, offering exceptional comfort without sacrificing safety.
Maintaining the classic look of a casual hoodie, the Vanguard is perfect for both on and off the bike. Don’t let its relaxed appearance fool you—this hoodie is engineered for CE ‘AA’ levels of abrasion resistance, ensuring robust protection in the event of a slide. Tested to EN 17092-1:2020 standards, it achieves an impressive minimum slide distance of 31 meters at 75 km/h.
For enhanced protection, the Vanguard Hoodie is compatible with our CE Level 2 'Zeus Pro Armour' for the shoulders, elbows, and back. This additional armour is sold separately, allowing you to tailor your protection to your riding needs.
Ride confidently knowing that the Vanguard Motorcycle Hoodie blends stylish versatility with advanced protective technology, making it the ultimate choice for modern riders.

Great fit. Size Large, for 90kg 176 cm. This is my second hoodie from Akin. Worth the price and cost to ship to Canada.
Thanks Nathan, we're stoked to the Vanguard Hoodie is worth ordering from overseas, and thanks for providing your height and weight details for the size.
Fast delivery, quality product.
Thanks William, cheers for the order and enjoy the hoodie!
Absolutely love this hoodie! It fits perfectly, is warm and cosy, easy to throw on, and looks great whether I’m riding or just wearing it casually. The additional armour is so comfortable that you hardly even notice it’s there, which was a pleasant surprise. The delivery was super fast too, so from start to finish it’s been an awesome purchase.Would definitely recommend!
Thanks so much for the fantastic review Duff!
We're stoked to hear you're loving your Vanguard Motorcycle Hoodie and your order arrived quickly. Cheers for your support and for taking the time to share your experience. Ride safe, and we hope you continue enjoying your hoodie both on and off the bike!
Love the quality, fit and cut of the hoodie
Thanks for the review Alisdair, we're stoked you're loving the Vanguard Hoodie!
Ride safe!
I love this thing. It's loose enough to feel and look casual, but still feels secure. It's a solid, thick hoodie and feels quite thick, but it isn't cumbersome, even with armour fitted. It looks low key, but the finish and design has a fair bit of depth to it. Recommended.
Thanks for the review and we're stoked you’re enjoying the Vanguard hoodie.
We really appreciate the detailed feedback too. We put a lot of thought into balancing that casual everyday feel with proper protection and comfort on the bike, so we appreciate hearing that it’s coming across the way we intended. We're also glad the heavier construction still feels easy to wear with armour fitted, and cheers for noticing the finer details in the finish and design as well.
Thanks for the recommendation and ride safe.
