WICKED STOCK Mesh Armored Motorcycle Shirt for Men & Women - CE Level 2 Mesh Protective for Summer - Soft, Stretchy & Lightweight Armored with Removable Padding Gray

I bought this armor shirt/jacket in white, size M. It fits really well (38" chest, 160lbs) and will stretch a bit if needed. I bought white because I live in Arizona and need it to reflect as much sunlight as possible. My only negative, if you want to call it that is that the back pad is quite thick and it can make your back sweat more than it really should. Maybe that's just a personal thing. The pictures make it look like the padding is bright green, but it's not. You don't really see the color of the padding through the outer material. The armor padding is really good and stays in place well. It really feels like it would be great protection in and upset, but I hope I never have to find out! This jacket breaths very well and wicks away sweat making it quite cool as long as you're moving. So far, I've ridden in 95 degree heat with it and been pleasantly surprised! It fits well enough that in cooler weather you could put a regular wind breaker or other jacket on top of it without any discomfort. If I had to do it again, I might consider paying the extra $10 for the yellow/green, as that color usually reflects more heat. When I bought it, I didn't think the extra cost would be worth it, but now I would consider it. This shirt seems fairly expensive, but it works so well I would buy it again if I had to. Also, if you click on the link to the Wicked Stock store, you'll see that they sell pants made out of the same fabric with similar armor that you could wear over shorts. I might consider these in the future depending on how hot my jeans get! If you're looking for light weight, cool protection, you can't go wrong with this shirt!

This shirt is absolutely amazing. The colors are a little off, so i went with white. I wanted the green one but it's more yellow than green, irrelevant I know. Anyway this is a great value, it's so lightweight and get so much airflow it makes those hot day rides way more tolerable! It's not as restrictive as heavier gear but has the same ce rated protection. So you can move around alot better, stay alot cooler, while also being protected. Can wear a shirt under it, over it, or just wear this by itself. I would get a size thats tight on you so the armor stays where it's supposed to. Just got the matching pants (which you want to order a size bigger). I'm liking this brand.

It's light, breathable and form fitting. I wear a leather vest over it and a tshirt under so I can strip to the tshirt when I get to my destination. The elbow and shoulder armor in it is almost like a rubber material. A bit harder than the cheap foam most cheap jackets come with. I was really surpised by that. It feels substantial. The back is foam though it isn't plain either. It has fabric over it even if you remove it and it has extra thickness down the middle, as if to add extra protection to the spine; very thoughtful and extra step they took and I appreciate it. For me it'd be perfect if it had some anti-abrasive fabric over the armor areas Also some forearm straps that connect to the anti-abrasive fabric at the elbow/forearms ;) would be nice to keep the elbow armor in place if one ever goes down. Just riding, the shoulder and elbow armor stay in place perfect for me. As long as the stretch fabric lasts, this is a great setup for me during the 90°+ temps. Do be aware that if you have a gut, it'd highlight it unless you wear something over your torso. For reference to anyone reading this, I'm 6'1" and 190 pounds with 37-42" chest (depending on how deep I breathe lol) The medium fits me perfect. I chose based on 40" chest as that was my resting measurement. This has give so it will stretch and move with you. I'm noticing a lot less riding fatigue with this. I'm not fighting tight fabric to move at joints, and I'm experiencing a lot less wind resistance with this. I know it doesn't offer the protection of a jacket due to not having any anti-abrasives but it is a happy-medium between full jacket and just a plain shirt.

I am a big man 280+ and I feel the heat. It has kept me from riding my bike in the summer heat. I have been riding since I was 10. Over 50 years so I know what can happen to your body when you are wearing a t shirt and shorts when you fall. Guaranteed to be a life lesson. So I won’t risk riding without proper protection. With that said this product. This riding shirt is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever bought for my motorcycle. I am so blown away at the quality and performance of this shirt! I just came off a long ride in 85 degrees with 80+ humidity. I felt so good during my whole ride. The shirt, not really a shirt, stayed on my body perfectly. It was never hot. It be ventilated so well and it looks awesome! Extremely bright yellow fluorescent contrasted with black. Excellent fitting. Excellent pads. I am just completely blown away at the quality of this piece. And I hope the owners and creators of this product read this because it’s one of the best things I have ever bought for my motorcycle.

Ok, so I don't like buying clothing over the internet because I frequently have to return it! So I took a punt here partly because of the price of the item and the fact that I couldn't find it in a shop near me. Build quality. This is good. Doent feel like it will fall apart. Sticking solid as is zipper and body protection. Design and fit. Pay attention to the advice on the website with regard to measurements or you will be making that trip to UPS! I measured 44" relaxed, 45 expanded across the nipple line and 36" waist though i can get in to a 34 at a stretch !. So I ordered a XL. But an XXL may also have worked. 1m 5.9 and a half (half an inch can make all the difference sometimes!!) and 200lbs. It is snug over a black t shirt and my riding position on a vstrom 1000 is upright. I think if I were on a sports bike I might want it a little longer in the body length. But that's just a sizing issue as the sleave length is perfect. The mesh material will keep you cool but won't provide much protection from abrasion on its own.. but then it's not suposed too. This gear is quite stylish, it even makes my 200lbs .... less bulky maybe 🤔 and my wife would look great in it if I could only get her on the bike. Can't have everything. Turnaround from initial order over amazon was fast. Really impressive guys! So yes I like it. It fits a need here in SoCal in the summer months, and I will even use it under some of my other jackets in the winter for the added layer if protection the armour gives. Like everything, its personal choice but It suits me so I would recomend it. Safe riding... Andy gb

Very comfortable and light riding shirt. VERY breathable. Comes with shoulder, elbow and back pad. It does run very small, I normally wear an XL and the 2XL of this shirt runs tight. It won't hold up to a highway slide, but would probably provide decent protection under 30 mph. but all in all a great shirt.

I like the look of this jacket. It makes you feel like you would be protected if things go wrong while riding. My main complaint is the sizing. It has a unisex fit which means the sleeves and armpits are better suited for a thin guys or women. (It fits my wife's arms and shoulders much better than mine.) The tight armpits made it somewhat uncomfortable with extended use. I used it throughout a two day motorcycle course, and it starting chafing my underarms after about 30 minutes. I really wanted to like it because it look nice, has the armored padding, and is nice and cool on summer rides. However, the discomfort from the tight arms and pits make it unusable for me. If you are a skinny rider or have small arms, it would be a good buy to have protection while on the road. But if you are an average guy or muscular, this one is a no go.

I usually wear a XL t-shirt, and a 2XL outer layer. At 47-inch chest and 18.5 neck, the sizing chart in the product description would have me at a XL size. I bought a 4xl and it is just about a perfect fit in all dimensions, especially the elbow pads. It is nearly skin-tight in the forearms, so a XL may be approaching the fit of a compression top. Even at 4xl, it's not like there is extra bagginess because the front zipper and the fabric. If you have a big belly then good luck. One thing that bugs me is that the collar rides back so it pulls against my throat. For what it is, it is a great product. It is not perfect, but it will certainly be used regularly.
