Fitting motorbike protective clothing has always been a challenge. For years, many brands have either leaned toward slim-fit designs to reduce weight or oversized trench coats to hide bulky impact protection.
Thanks to our partnership with D3O, integrating the thinnest impact protection on the market, and our use of lightweight advanced fabrics, we’ve created a collection that truly fits.
Our ‘Regular’ fit trousers and jackets take inspiration from classic workwear styles, offering enough room for layering during colder months while allowing air to flow through breathable fabrics and adjustable ventilation for summer rides.
What sets us apart? Our jackets feature extended coverage at the back and wrists—thoughtfully designed to protect you where it matters most.
Safety that’s as subtle as it is strong.

How to Measure your garment?
To get the best fit the first time, we recommend that you find a jacket or trouser that you feel comfortable in, and then measure the garment rather than trying to estimate how many inches to add to your own measurements. Size charts are based on the clothing dimensions, not your measurements, so it can be easier to imagine how the fit will feel.
Body Length
Lay your jacket flat on a table. Measure from the Highest shoulder point (HSP), which is just next to the right or left of where the collar sits on the shoulder. Measure all the way to the bottom of the jacket, this will give you the body length. Remember, most of our jackets are intentionally longer in the back so that your jacket doesn't lift while you’re sitting on the bike.
Chest Width
The chest measurement should come from under the arm, where the seams of the jacket are stitched. Measure flat across the chest, from the bottom of one armpit to the other. If you’re measuring yourself, remember to consider a loose fit for layering.
Sleeve Length

Waist
To measure your waist using a pair of jeans you already own and feel comfortable in, lay them flat on a table. Measure straight across the waistband from one side to the other, then double that number for your waist size. Keep in mind, our materials are designed with stretch, so they’ll naturally mold to your body and fit even better over time.
