NBT Armored Motorcycle Hoodie Combines Casual Style With CE-Rated Protection | First Look

Motorcycle riders looking for casual riding gear without sacrificing protection are turning their attention toward the NBT Armored Motorcycle Hoodie. Designed to blend streetwear style with certified riding protection, the hoodie combines abrasion-resistant materials, removable armor, and modern rider-focused features into an everyday wearable package.
According to NBT Clothing, the Men’s Body Guard Hoodie carries an AA certification under the EN 17092-3:2020 standard, giving riders higher abrasion and tear resistance than many entry-level motorcycle hoodies currently on the market. The hoodie uses a polyamide aramid inner lining combined with a polyester and cotton outer shell designed to withstand real-world riding conditions while maintaining flexibility and comfort.
Protection comes from included CE Level 1 armor in the shoulders, elbows, and back. NBT also added practical riding features including thumb loops, rear belt hooks to reduce ride-up during crashes, and a waterproof zippered kangaroo pocket for storing phones and essentials. The three-layer construction includes a breathable mesh liner intended to improve airflow during daily riding.

While some experienced riders still prefer tighter-fitting textile or leather jackets for maximum crash protection, casual riders and urban commuters continue embracing armored hoodies for shorter rides and city commuting. The NBT Armored Motorcycle Hoodie starts at approximately $269 and is available in multiple colors and sizes through NBT Clothing. HB
