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.

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 'Forcefield' Back armour in SIZE001 (Need more info? Get in touch via email support@akinmoto.com).

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.  

WHAT SIZE SHOULD I GET?:

This vest has 'smart stretch' side panels - If you like to wear you vest tight, please go down one size. Model in the photos is 6ft, 83kgs, 100cm chest and is wearing a size Medium.

The best way to find out your size is to measure a vest/jacket 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 vest/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). Compare your measurement to the size chart above. If you're in-between sizes, or want a nice snug fit, choose the smaller size. 

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.

Battle vest

Very nice vest let down by ABSOLUTE garbage zip! Disappointed and just not good enough. It's fair price BUT MOTOCYCLE GEAR! Lost $160 never again...

Hey Andrew, cheers for the review but that sucks to hear! We're going to turn this situation around for you. I've just emailed you back and we'll make sure you're looked after here.

We definitely hear the feedback and we've very recently replaced the zip in our Battle Vest.
