SixSixOne EVO SS Jacket


There’s a lot of clever stuff going on here. Much of the padding is impact-gobbling D3O, the comfy chest guard extends round to protect your ribs, and SixSixOne's PADLOCK system lets you snap additional armour into place as required.

Underarm cut-aways make it one of the coolest jackets on test too.You can even remove the backplate and replace it with a bladder – genius! There's a long-sleeve version with elbow pads too.

It’s cut fairly short so, as with all armour, it’s worth trying before you buy to get a perfect fit.

Price 195$
