Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Bought this jacket for a trip in Europe. Wanted good ventilation and comfort. Just worn it for five days in temperatures up to 36C. Compared to my older Knox Urban Pro there is better ventilation and fit is more comfortable. Plenty of pockets but the inside ones need to be more secure for documents etc. Ideally a rear external pocket of ventilated material would be good to hold a small thin nylon jacket, always have one for cooler morning/evenings, makes all the difference. Colour for summer would be better in the blue, like the matching trousers. Grey colour was too pale with the blue trousers.
The teal colour is a lovely change from the usual women's choices of either black/pink or black/purple. The sizing is accurate so buy for the size you are, there is limited stretch in the armoured shirt so you'll only be able to wear a T-shirt plus one other layer e.g. Zerofit under it. As it is designed to be layered over i.e. thermal layer then a waterproof layer it is flexible as a system but that's the point.
The venting is very good - particularly on your arms, but once the temperature gets to the high 20s then you'll feel the heat regardless with, hopefully, a bit of a breeze as you ride.
The thumb loops on the sleeves are comfortable to wear as they're long enough so don't cut into fleshy part of your hand between thumb and forefinger.
The shirt is expensive but quality is good and I feel cool, yet protected, when the temperatures rises.
