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.

If you have questions, Grant is fantastic. He is open and honest about the products as well as knowledgeable. The vest is really well made. I bought it to go over my armoured hoodie to stop the wind cutting into my chest. It fits perfectly. I found with the stretch panels on the side it also fits nicely under the jacket. I got the optional lv2 back protector and find it feels good. Gives me the option to have protection in the hoodie or the vest or both. I will be buying more products in the future. Next purchase will be some pants.
Hey Andrew, we really appreciate you sharing this. We're so stoked we could help out and always happy to give you a clear picture of what to expect so there are no surprises when the gear shows up. We're really happy to hear the vest size ended up perfect for over the armoured hoodie as well as comfortably fitting under the jacket - that's a huge win.
Thanks for your support and feel free to reach out when the time comes - we'll be happy to help you choose right fit and style for your needs.
Absolutely outstanding vest. It’s made with excellent materials inside and out. This is vest number 2 for me after purchasing another for my son.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Shane! We’re stoked to hear you’re loving the Battle 6.0 Vest, and even more so that it’s now a favourite for both you and your son. Hearing the materials and build meet your expectations means a lot to us – we put a lot of care into designing these. Ride safe and enjoy the gear!
CheersRicky! Buying one is great - coming back for a second is awesome to hear!
We’re stoked the Battle 6.0 Vest has impressed you enough to double up. Thanks for the support and for backing our gear out on the road.
This vest is super comfy, has a great fit and is a staple in my riding wardrobe. Love the fact that it has a two way zip and soft collar. Thanks Grant for the great service and awesome quality products
Thanks so much for leaving the review Jade!
I'm so stoked to hear the Battle 6.0 has become a staple for you. I also really appreciate you mentioning that the two-way zip as well as the soft collar are great additions. They can defintiely make a big difference on longer rides, so it’s great to hear they’re standing out. That's awesome to hear the fit and comfort are doing what they should as well.
Thanks again for the kind words - ride safe!
Great service from Grant knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to deal with. The motorbike vest arrived quickly and is high quality, exactly as described. Highly recommend.
Really appreciate the kind words Josh, and for taking the time to leave this.
Glad to hear the Battle 6.0 arrived quickly and lived up to expectations on quality and fit. We're stoked to help if you need anything down the track, and thanks again for the recommendation.
