Let’s just start with the look. High-quality flannel shirt with breast pockets on the outside and inside. The option to either button or zip or both is phenomenal. You get extra breathability and where I’m from it doesn’t matter that much but where some of y’all are from that’s make it or break it. Now the feel is great, the fact that I have pads on while wearing this(my family and fiancé HATE when in ride without pads now It takes the place of those and even adds a little extra padding)and the discomfort of traditional pads (even the most comfortable pairs I have still have some discomfort or slippage) is completely gone and it’s held in position It’s absolutely amazing! Now, lastly the quality I have taken three fall going downhill on a rocky rugged terrain (I had been hesitant to hit some of these lines but because of the back and shoulder protection I can now hit them)at about 15 mile an hour And got back up no problems at all half of it is technique half of its equipment and this equipment stands up to abuse!!!
A tidbit I’ll add is i have a new puppy with razor sharp teething teeth. He grabs my jacket and goes to town while we play. (Also in case of any dog action on the road, if one were to ever come at you, I’ve had a few chase me a few blocks, this is definitely something I would want to have to have something between my arm and a dog attack)The Kevlar stands up. Hands down recommend this product to anyone who is riding whether it be a common commute or a nice floating sesh On your favorite trail it will keep you safe, cool, And free up pocket space. Float on my friends!
Also if they redesigned at all I would love to see some zip up side pockets at the bottem of each side of the opening of jacket! Much love from Iowa
