Why choose an armored shirt?

Are you looking for lightweight and practical motorcycle gear, but do you think motorcycle jackets are too heavy and just not your thing? Then armored shirts might be right for you. Protective shirts have become more and more popular over the years, which has resulted in a broad assortment for you to choose from. In this blog you discover the advantages of armored shirts along with our favorites.

Advantages of an armored shirt

Besides being light, armored shirts offer a lot of protection in case of a crash. Where regular protectors are placed in pockets in jackets, protectors in armored shirts are directly placed on your body. This lowers the chances of friction making armored shirts safer.

Armored shirts can be divided into two categories, namely shirts that offer impact protection and shirts that offer both impact protection and are abrasion resistant. Shirts in the latter category are made of abrasion resistant materials, so they can be worn as stand-alone jackets. You can always see if a shirt is abrasion resistant thanks to the A(AA) certification on the label.

Thanks to the tight fitting, you can easily wear a hoodie or shirt over your armored shirt. This will ensure the ultimate casual look.
