Yes, you read that correctly! Raven Moto has released an armoured hoodie for riders! Our good friends over at Raven sent me one to test & ride with, and I can now truly give you my full experience with it.
I got the secret inside scoop from Raven announcing that they were creating something really cool and that he would send it to me as soon as the product was ready. Pass a few weeks and in the mail came the Lorica (Latin for body armour) hoodie! It was such an exciting unboxing as the first visual I got upon opening the package was the luxe reflective Raven logo. The hoodie itself feels soft to the touch & as the first line in the product description says; it'll help you "Evolve from a street-squid to a street-smart RAVEN". Wearing this hoodie means you're riding protected; with CE level 2 protectors on your back, shoulders and elbows, aramid fiber lining, and 100% DuPont™️ Kevlar®️ used in all of the high-impact areas.
There are also underarm zips & mesh air vents to help regulate your temperature in hot weather. There's a fully zipped kangaroo pouch that allows you to hold anything from a water bottle to your phone & if you need more storage, there's arm pockets too. One of my favourite features of the hoodie must be the thumb loops. They secure all the armour and keep them in place so perfectly. It's the thought put into every detail for me. And if you are wondering how the hoodie holds up in an accident? I can confirm that it has been crash tested (By a fellow rider)
The overall riding experience is fantastic! I don't overheat nor did I get cold when I tested it out riding at night during the end of winter. With it's slim fit, it also doesn't move all over the place or bubble up awkwardly. It has become a necessity for me now as many of you would know. I usually rode with a hoodie OVER my leather jacket. These days I can just throw the hoodie on and feel confident in knowing that I am protected.
If you are interested in the hoodie (comes in XS-4XL), now is the perfect time to grab one along with a pair of gloves or even an armoured pair of jeans!
