Protective “moto shirts” are all the rage, and there are plenty of options to choose from—but this “Motoshirt” from John Doe is the only one we’ve found to offer AAA-rated protection, perfectly understated styling, and triple zippered vents for keeping cool on even on the hottest days.
Cut just right with sleeves a touch on the long side, and with enough stretch to make it look good off the bike, and comfortable on it, while reaching for the handlebars, this Motoshirt is a year-round riding staple.
The secret to the garment’s AAA rating is its two-layer combination of stretch cotton shell with an XTM Fiber liner—which is a proprietary medley of Kevlar and Cordura fibers. The result is a garment that feels plentifully thick, but still manages to breathe while on the bike. And for those really hot days, deploy the hidden zippered and underarm vents, and the broad horizontal exhaust vent, and the wind whistles right through this piece.
All the vents are backed with a sturdy mesh, which keeps bees or other debris from getting in, and helps hold the garment together and keep the armor in place even with the vents wide open.
Throw in a bevy of other thoughtful touches—like a full YKK zipper hidden behind easy/casual snaps; a snap-down collar that won't flay your neck at speed; multi-position sleeve snaps; and fully functional interior pockets—and the Motoshirt is just hard to beat.
Armor is removable, but it’s easy to leave in. Level 1 shoulder and elbow armor come included.
Note: we offer this Motoshirt in three solid color options, olive, camel (tan) and black, as well as a limited edition Black Denim version.
