Introducing the new ‘Defender Motorcycle Hoodie’ from Akin Moto - We’ve taken your favourite casual hoodie, removed all the unnecessary stuff and hidden a truckload of protective and ‘moto-specific’ features inside.

First and foremost, this hoodie is designed to protect you. It’s fully lined with genuine DuPont™ Kevlar® fabric that provides very high levels of abrasion resistance.

Need more protection? The Defender Moto Hoodie is 100% compatible with premium, CE rated armour inserts (sold separately – check out the armour section on our store). Please note this product requires our regular Zeus Pro Ce Level 2 Back Protector.

Need a secure place to store your valuables? We’ve hidden a water-resistant zipper pocket inside the front handwarmer pocket – you won’t have to worry about things falling out while you’re riding.

Hoodies are meant to comfortable… so we developed an entirely new ‘pull-over’ fit that works both on and off the bike. We also removed those pesky drawcords on the hood (who uses them anyway?) to prevent them slapping on the side of your helmet.

If you’re searching for the king of motorcycle hoodies, then look no further.

The best

Have owned since 2023. Straight up the best hoodie, wish I could get all my money back from other brands I've tried. Timeless sleek look with a literal perfect fit, the way it's shaped is just insane when you compare it to what you'll typically find in store. Hoodie is still going strong despite a slight tear in the cotton, (not the kevlar) from coming down on gravel after hitting a roo. Every other hoodie I've worn just feels dogshit and boxy, sometimes hard to put on even. This is just perfect and I've been anxiously waiting for it to come back in stock to hopefully buy a couple more pairs to last a life or half a life time. Sorry Akin ive taken years to write a review

Cheers for the review Riley. Absolutely no need to apologise — this review was well worth the wait!

We’re stoked to hear the hoodie’s held up so well, even after a roo encounter and some gravel rash. It’s unreal to hear how it stacks up against everything else you’ve tried, especially on fit and feel — that means a lot to us.

Good news, we’ve got more Defender Hoodies on the way soon. They're coming back with a slight upgrade, but running the same look, feel and fit that thye're loved for. So fingers crossed you’ll be able to grab a couple more to see you through the next chapter (or half a lifetime). Appreciate you taking the time to share this. Cheers!

Perfect Hoodie

Have had my Akin Hoodie for about 4-5 months, it was incredibly warm on those winter mornings, love the hidden zipper pocket and the body armour is absolutely incredible - you can barely even feel that it's there. The staff at Akin are incredibly helpful, I'll be buying more from these guys in the future for sure. THANK YOU!

Thanks for the review Garrth! We're so stoked to hear how much you're loving the Defender Hoodie!

Great hoodie!

This hoodie is quickly becoming my favourite riding top! A fantastic balance of style, comfort and protection. Super comfy and fits perfectly, clearly heaps of thought has gone in to how it looks and fits both on and off the bike. Big thanks to Grant who took plenty of time to help me get the sizing just right!

Thanks for the review Tim! We're so happy to hear how much you're loving the Defender Hoodie and stoked we could help out with sizing before ordering!

Saved My Skin (literally)

I came off my bike at quite a ‘speed’. Rolled a few times and slid for a fair few seconds… The hoodie held up really well, I managed to walk away with light road rash - the accident really shook me… I can honestly say without wearing this hoodie I’d have been minced… I have full confidence with this product and will be buying more gear to replace what I once wore. Thanks Akin Moto for keeping me safe - genuinely!

Eric, we're so glad to hear that you're ok after your accident and were able to walk away relatively unscathed. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us, and with other customers.

We're stoked to hear that our gear did its job and that it's given you confidence to replace it with more - we've already sent you a quick follow up email to make sure you're looked after and get you back on the bike ASAP.
