The details
Overview
The Motrox Crosswind is a riding shirt made for hot days. The outer is a high-ventilation polyester mesh that lets air straight through, it is reinforced with genuine DuPont™ Kevlar® aramid, and it carries removable CE certified armour at the shoulders, elbows and back. It looks like a casual check shirt; it rides like summer gear.
Fifteen colours, one shirt. Pick your colour, size and armour above. The Crosswind is a stocked, standard-size garment (not made-to-measure) in 20 sizes from XS to 8XL, including tall cuts, and it ships free Australia-wide.
Every colour is the same shirt: same mesh, same Kevlar® reinforcement, same armour options and the same price. The photo changes when you pick a colour.

Does the price include the armour?
Yes. The price shown for your selected option includes the full shoulder, elbow and back armour set.
How hot can I wear it?
It is made for summer: the outer is open mesh, so air flows through as soon as you are moving. Stopped in traffic it feels like any shirt with armour in it.
Is it waterproof?
No. Mesh lets air and rain straight through. The inner phone pockets are water-sealed.
Is it EN 17092 rated?
No. The armour is CE certified to EN 1621; the shirt itself is not garment-rated. For a Class AA certified shirt, choose the Outrider™ flannel.

Size guide
Crosswind™ Kevlar® Armoured Motorcycle Mesh Shirt
Our honest sizing advice: These are garment measurements, taken with the shirt laid flat. Double the ½ Chest figure to get the shirt's full chest. For a comfortable fit with the armour in, your own chest measurement should be roughly 10 to 15 cm less than that figure. Between sizes, go up one if you wear a hoodie or thicker layer underneath. Sleeves always short on you? Choose a Tall (-T) size. Not sure? Send us your chest measurement and height before you order and we will confirm the size.
