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 our regular Zeus Pro Ce Level 2 Back Protector. (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 your 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.

Worth every cent. I’m from far North Queensland it’s hot. The vest breath well but is nice and snug. Well worth it. Couldn’t recommend it anymore. Very happy with it.

This Vest Gets All the Stars - Highly Recommended

The Battle Motorcycle Vest covers all the bases without breaking the bank! Especially loving the accordion sides which can easily accommodate the additional bulk of winter layers. It’s by far the most versatile vest in my motorcycle wardrobe. Worth the investment. Well done, Akin!

Cheers for such an awesome review Gabe! We couldn't be happier to hear how versatile the Battle Vest has been for you!
