Hi Everyone. I’m a new rider from Toronto, Canada and I’m specifically looking for reco’s to buy an armoured long sleeve shirt for hot summer days.

Does a basic black or grey or navy armoured long sleeve shirt even exist?

All I see are textile armoured jackets and hoodies with mesh venting or flannel light jacket/shirts. That’s still too heavy for my casual city rides in the summer heat.

I’m looking for a simple Henley style shirt or crewneck long sleeve with Kevlar or Cordura and armour inserts (elbow, back, shoulder preferred) that I can wear on its own as an outer layer like a normal long sleeve shirt.

Any brand or website reco’s that sell this type of gear would be appreciated.

Thanks,
MobileguyTO

I know Oxford do them, but I don't know if they're available in Canada, and I can't comment on effectiveness in a spill.

I'm sure a mesh jacket or perforated leather would cool you down sufficiently. I have an Alpinestars Octane jacket (perforated leather). Yes, it is a little warm in traffic, but at speed it flows so much air it is like wearing a tee shirt. Wink

Thanks for the heads up. It's a collared button up shirt which is getting closer, but not exactly a henley or crew neck version I'm looking for.
