Motorcycle Full Body Armor Protective Jacket Motocross ATV Guard Shirt Men Women

I love this vest. It is priced right and very well made for what it is. After scraping a bunch of skin off on my elbow 2 weeks ago, sliding down the pavement (luckily at < 10 mph), I decided it *is* worth wearing this! :) I feel much better cruising on my board at 25mph now than I did before. Road rash sucks. Wear a good helmet, leather gloves, and this vest and you'll be much much better off!It is very light weight.It breathes. I rode it for 15 minutes the other day in 103 deg F weather, and it was ok. It was certainly hotter than a plain T-shirt, but probably not any hotter than a thin long-sleeved shirt. For the extra protection though, it's worth it. It is also extremely lightweight.My only complaint is that I'd like a thin carrying bag (you know, like those cheapo disposable backpack type drawstring pouches) to come with it, to protect it when dragging it around San Francisco since I use it there to commute to and from places, but sometimes need to just carry my gear when not riding. Otherwise, it's super easy to scuff it up or accidentally put tiny tears in it when a part of it accidentally gets wedged against the rough road or against the grip tape on top of your skateboard, under your backpack.TO SELLER: Please add a thin drawstring carrying backpack for it. Thanks!SIZE NOTES:Note: I'm 5' 9", 155 lb, athletic build, and Medium fits perfectly! I think large would for sure be too big.- For Summer, I wear this over a short-sleeved shirt.- For Fall, it adds a tiny bit of warmth by itself, but I can wear it over a long-sleeved shirt easily too.- For late Fall, I can wear the vest over my T-shirt, and a light jacket *over the vest*.- For Winter, I can wear a heavy coat *over the vest*.BACKPACK:It wears very well with a backpack too! I regularly wear a 15~25lb backpack (sometimes with 2 large laptops, so pretty heavy) over the vest, and it wears very comfortably, so no issues there.EASE OF USE:- very fast to put on or take off- It is harder to put on than a sweatshirt or jacket, but not by a lot (takes maybe 2x as long). I can put it on or take it off in just a few seconds--probably 10 or 20 seconds.I'll see if I can post pictures of me and my board with this vest sometime. Photos are always nice to see.

Have you ever hit the concrete at 60+ miles an hour ? I have, not the first time & probably won’t be the last. Moral of the story, I purchased this with low expectations, hit the ground at high speed and suffered no road rash to the body, the padding held throughout my barrel role 50ft body slide. I suffered bumps, bruises and a few fractures but that’s to be expected even I had worn riot gear at the caliber of crash I sustained. The quality superseded what I had expected. This is now my proven and go to commute gear when I ride through the city… GREAT VALUE.

I wanted something affordable that would keep me safe on my brand new motorcycle and boy does this check that box. I got the red option because I wanted to be a little more noticeable when wearing it. The mesh is breathable (which is a must as I become over heated really fast/easily), there are straps around the arms, sides and back area that can be adjusted for a looser or tighter fit. The only problem I have is the waist strap, that wraps around your lower torso and waist, doesn’t go as tight as I need. I have a really small waist and the velcro doesn’t go as far around to the back as Id like. I appreciate that there is tailbone protection.Sizing is pretty accurate in my experience! I got a small which is my standard size of clothing.

The armor fits just fine, especially since there are so many adjustable straps to find a good fit. Easy to move in and it looks super cool. Hope I don't have to test it anytime soon, but it seems pretty sturdy. A great buy!

I've been riding motorcycles for almost 50 years and have worked in the motorsports (motorcycle) industry for over 35 years. In that time I've had a few mishaps and I have seen a lot of injuries that could have been lessened or avoided completely if the proper riding gear and protection had been worn.As such, I try and wear the proper safety gear whenever I ride. But like most people, I don't care to be wearing excessive gear and be sweating when I'm out having fun on a motorcycle or UTV. Since I live and work in an area that sees extreme heat in the summer I thought I would try one of these mesh type armor jackets.I chose the one from GOHINSTAR as it seemed to offer all the features I wanted at a decent price. I'm just shy of 5'10", weigh 162 lbs, have a 33" waist, and a 40" chest. And my arm length is rough 22" (shoulder to wrist). Since I fell right between a Large and an Extra-Large using the seller's chart I decided to gamble and go with Extra-Large.After the jacket arrived I got busy with work and ended up not trying it on until after the return period was up. When I tried it on it felt too large at first, and thought oh great. But then I started adjusting the multitude of straps and Velcro adjusters and was able to size the jacket to fit me perfectly. (5 adjusters on just one arm sleeve alone.)Note: I may have been able to fit into a Large, but the Extra-Large gives me the option to wear over a thin shirt or adjusted out to fit over heavier clothing in cold weather.After adjusting to fit I found the jacket to be very comfortable and all of the protective padding seems solid and is positioned in all the vital areas that are normally prone to impact during spills. The armor is also sturdy as well as flexible so I don't feel any binding when riding my motorcycle or driving a UTV (side x side).And even with all the padding the jacket feels light and breaths well.Hopefully I never get to experience how well the protection works, but even if I don't the peace of mind knowing that it provides is well worth the purchase price.Tip: Be careful with the Velcro used on this jacket as it is extra grippy. If it gets hooked to the mesh portion of the jacket take your time to unhook it.If you have a question feel free to ask me and I'll answer with what I can as quickly as I can. And as with all my reviews if I experience any issues or problems I’ll update this review.
