Better than expected and feels solid. There are days in Canada where it's freaking hot and my bike make it even worse since it's air cooled but I don't just wanna ride with a T-Shirt or my full jacket, especially on the highway. So this is a good in-between that can also go over another full jacket or anything else. For example, got my Dainese mesh jacket that doesn't have a back Armor but this vest does and I can wear this on top and I have full upper body protection and it's still breathable. Very versatile.

Great vest ! But could be a little better. Had to replaced the rectangle metal sliders as couple broke off . And i think heavy duty nylon would be better than this canvas materiel type. I purchased 2, I wear on top of a windproof / waterproof icon pdx jacket or a mx jersey. Works fantastic ! I ride a mix of backroads and highways on a klr 650 .

Fantastic vest for super hot days when you're looking for some protection, but not looking to bake yourself under a bunch of gear. Really well made, and highly adjustable to your build! The bottle holder is cool to mount to a bag, but can't image using it on the vest.
