Stylish and not bulky
21 July 2025 by Anton
My problem with this kind of shirts was they look to bulky but this one is a good fit. Also very good protection AAA + level 2 protectors. Can even wear it as normal shirt after removing protection.

Fantastic!!

The Oxford Kickback 3.0 Aramid Fibre Shirt is a solid option for riders who want protection without looking overly geared up. It looks like a regular casual shirt but includes CE AA-rated protection and Level 2 armour in the elbows and shoulders, which is impressive for something so understated. The fit is comfortable, ventilation is decent for warmer days, and it s easy to wear on and off the bike. It s not built for heavy rain or high-speed touring, but for everyday riding around town, it strikes a good balance between safety and style.
It s always a bit of a gamble buying riding gear online, but the experience with SportBikeshop was smooth and reliable from start to finish. I'd definitely use them again.
