Look good with AAA protection.
26 Jun 2026 by Scott
Been looking for a riding shirt for ages, but always put off by the low safety ratings and strange fit.
Then I spotted this in a rival sites mailer, so I reserved one into the Glasgow store in two sizes.went with the small though normally a medium. Folk don’t even realise it’s. Motorcycle gear.
Upgraded the armour from 1 to 2 by sitting Rheon.

Great jacket! Comfortable and doesn’t feel like bike garment in best possible way. Bunch of convenient pockets. Perfect around the town shirt. Got quite a few compliments on the looks of it.
