Vanguard Motorcycle Hoodie

Couldn’t be happier!

Absolutely love this hoodie! It fits perfectly, is warm and cosy, easy to throw on, and looks great whether I’m riding or just wearing it casually. The additional armour is so comfortable that you hardly even notice it’s there, which was a pleasant surprise. The delivery was super fast too, so from start to finish it’s been an awesome purchase.Would definitely recommend!

Love the quality, fit and cut of the hoodie

Great all purpose jacket

I was looking for an inbetween jacket that I could use between the super cold days and the super warm days and a jacket that wasnt so moto centric that I could wear it to work or the store without looking like a reflective road worker (not knocking reflectivity, just hate things that stand out when not on the bike) I think this jacket is as close to perfect for that use as I could ask for. The jacket is very very comfortable and has an extended length in arms and torso to better allow for comfortable riding. The hoodie looks and feels good both on and off the bike. I think a good workable temperature range for this jacket would be from about 55F to 75F. The jacket lets just enough air through to keep you comfortable on the higher end of that spectrum. If it were to be layered with a thermal shirt you could probably stay comfortable below 55F. I hope to never have to test it but looking at the construction I feel this jacket is offering adequate protection. Ordering and communication with Akin was one of the best experiences I have ever had dealing with a company. Ordering from the US I wanted to make sure I didnt order the wrong size and have to try to navigate a costly return. Grant worked with me through several emails and nailed down my size which was absolutely perfect. If it helps anyone Im 5'9" 160lbs 40" chest and I ordered a M. One minor word of warning to US buyers, the zipper is anchored to the left side of the jacket. I dont know if its a left handed thing, an Australian thing, or just how things work in the southern hemisphere (like toilets flushing backwards :) ) but its the only jacket I have ever had that zips from that side and has taken a little bit to get my hands used to getting the zipper started and released. Would and will recommend this jacket and Akin to anyone I meet and look forward to trying out more products from Akin in the future!
