WICKED STOCK Mesh Armored Motorcycle Shirt - CE Level 2 Unisex Motorcycle Protective Shirt for Summer with Removable Padding

I got this for my husband who is a Large but he said this was too tight. He is 6ft, 210lbs so I just kept this for me even though it is way too big and ordered him another. This comes in handy on those hot days on a motorcycle. Very comfortable, plenty of air flow and protective pads, light weight, and good quality.

This Jacket is really very comfortable to wear in summer. It is very cooling and it does run small so order one a few sizes larger as suggested. I have worn on several rides so far and it's been really enjoyable and I did not get too hot at any time. The quality is pretty good, the zipper seems sturdy and does not catch, and when you zip all the way up, it's not up in your throat scratching. Very bright orange too for safety!

It's light, breathable and form fitting. I wear a leather vest over it and a tshirt under so I can strip to the tshirt when I get to my destination.The elbow and shoulder armor in it is almost like a rubber material. A bit harder than the cheap foam most cheap jackets come with. I was really surpised by that. It feels substantial. The back is foam though it isn't plain either. It has fabric over it even if you remove it and it has extra thickness down the middle, as if to add extra protection to the spine; very thoughtful and extra step they took and I appreciate it.For me it'd be perfect if it had some anti-abrasive fabric over the armor areas Also some forearm straps that connect to the anti-abrasive fabric at the elbow/forearms ;) would be nice to keep the elbow armor in place if one ever goes down.Just riding, the shoulder and elbow armor stay in place perfect for me. As long as the stretch fabric lasts, this is a great setup for me during the 90°+ temps.Do be aware that if you have a gut, it'd highlight it unless you wear something over your torso.For reference to anyone reading this, I'm 6'1" and 190 pounds with 37-42" chest (depending on how deep I breathe lol) The medium fits me perfect. I chose based on 40" chest as that was my resting measurement. This has give so it will stretch and move with you.I'm noticing a lot less riding fatigue with this. I'm not fighting tight fabric to move at joints, and I'm experiencing a lot less wind resistance with this.I know it doesn't offer the protection of a jacket due to not having any anti-abrasives but it is a happy-medium between full jacket and just a plain shirt.

Ok, so I don't like buying clothing over the internet because I frequently have to return it! So I took a punt here partly because of the price of the item and the fact that I couldn't find it in a shop near me.Build quality. This is good. Doent feel like it will fall apart. Sticking solid as is zipper and body protection.Design and fit. Pay attention to the advice on the website with regard to measurements or you will be making that trip to UPS! I measured 44" relaxed, 45 expanded across the nipple line and 36" waist though i can get in to a 34 at a stretch !. So I ordered a XL. But an XXL may also have worked. 1m 5.9 and a half (half an inch can make all the difference sometimes!!) and 200lbs. It is snug over a black t shirt and my riding position on a vstrom 1000 is upright. I think if I were on a sports bike I might want it a little longer in the body length. But that's just a sizing issue as the sleave length is perfect. The mesh material will keep you cool but won't provide much protection from abrasion on its own.. but then it's not suposed too.This gear is quite stylish, it even makes my 200lbs .... less bulky maybe 🤔 and my wife would look great in it if I could only get her on the bike. Can't have everything.Turnaround from initial order over amazon was fast. Really impressive guys!So yes I like it. It fits a need here in SoCal in the summer months, and I will even use it under some of my other jackets in the winter for the added layer if protection the armour gives. Like everything, its personal choice but It suits me so I would recomend it.Safe riding...Andy gb

Item fits well and is great in hot weather. I wear it under an airbag vest and it is perfect for temps over 85F. The mesh is similar to football/athletic sports jerseys and appears to be durable. I would not expect it to be protective for abrasions but the padding is there to protect your joints if you go down while riding. Lightweight too.

I bought this armor shirt/jacket in white, size M. It fits really well (38" chest, 160lbs) and will stretch a bit if needed. I bought white because I live in Arizona and need it to reflect as much sunlight as possible. My only negative, if you want to call it that is that the back pad is quite thick and it can make your back sweat more than it really should. Maybe that's just a personal thing. The pictures make it look like the padding is bright green, but it's not. You don't really see the color of the padding through the outer material.The armor padding is really good and stays in place well. It really feels like it would be great protection in and upset, but I hope I never have to find out! This jacket breaths very well and wicks away sweat making it quite cool as long as you're moving. So far, I've ridden in 95 degree heat with it and been pleasantly surprised!It fits well enough that in cooler weather you could put a regular wind breaker or other jacket on top of it without any discomfort.If I had to do it again, I might consider paying the extra $10 for the yellow/green, as that color usually reflects more heat. When I bought it, I didn't think the extra cost would be worth it, but now I would consider it.This shirt seems fairly expensive, but it works so well I would buy it again if I had to. Also, if you click on the link to the Wicked Stock store, you'll see that they sell pants made out of the same fabric with similar armor that you could wear over shorts. I might consider these in the future depending on how hot my jeans get!If you're looking for light weight, cool protection, you can't go wrong with this shirt!
