NBT FOR THE WIN

The jacket is great and looks good and its not to hot on rides the wind comes tho nice can get hot at the stoplight on top of a 200 degree spot bike lol but I will take that any day for the protection it provides and I bin complemented on the jacket multiple times once people figured out, it's actually a riding jacket. Not just a jacket would recommend it to any rider that wants the protection and still look good too only reason for 4 stars is my jacket was defective, didn't have the waterproof zippers or pockets but NBT made it rit and sent me a new one win I i brought it to there attention

This is the only rating I am comfortable giving

This is the only rating I am comfortable giving at this time. I just received my jacket today. The overall quality of the gear is impressive. I haven't worn the gear yet so I can not attest to the breathability of the gear. First ride soon come.

The zip up is a nice weight and will work well

The zip up is a nice weight and will work well above 60 degree- I also tried it around 78 degree and it was ok- when riding it does have some airflow
Well worth wearing for protection

Superb product, great selection & world-class sales support.

This item is seriously nice!
The material and finish are both amazing and well built.

Having owned many of the items in their product line, I can attest to the quality leap and bounds Nick’s NBT brand has evolved.

But LET ME TELL YOU…
They are not only great at advertising and making the most street-friendly product… these folks are actually running a solid and very honest company.

To me, even at times of which I haven’t been able to make the purchase work for me, they are always transparent and able to provide full support, wherever I might need it

Style, comfort, and performance, you can choose all three!

I've owned a ton of different riding gear over the last 20 years and this has hands down been my favorite jacket. Light weight, functional, great protection, and the armor pockets don't chafe like a lot of other stuff I've had. Even in 90 degree heat this thing is barely noticeable. Pockets work well and kept my phone dry in a massive down pour. I'll end up wearing this through fall just as a sweatshirt. Absolutely recommend!

A very nice jacket but not for hot summer days

A very nice jacket heavy for summer and it’s an athletic fit but it’s definitely a great jacket

Great hoodie, awesome for layering

Honestly, this is a really solid hoodie. The fabric is nice and sturdy but it still breathes well when you're moving. I ride a Rebel 1100 and wanted something easy to layer for interstate speeds, so I pull the pads out of this hoodie and throw it right over my Knox MK3 armored shirt. It fits well over my build, and the extra protection on the road is totally worth it. The thumb loops and belt hooks work great to keep it from riding up. Definitely a 5-star piece of gear. I thankfully have not had to use it and I hope I never do, but I feel like it will do its job, glad I took a chance.

New to NBT

First purchase of this product. Got the zip up hoodie with armor and free gloves.

The hoodie fits perfectly and the sizing app on the website was spot on. You don't notice the armor which is great, and the hoodie is very comfortable, even in 85-degree temps.

The gloves are very nice too, could be a tad larger (I got the biggest size) as I have very large hands, so maybe in the future offer an additional larger size.

So far very happy with this purchase.

Size : XXL hoodie & L/XL gloves
Size smaller than normal

The XXL hoodie was too tight for me. I will probably return it and exchange it for a XXXL. L/XL Gloves were also a little tight. Will get a size bigger for both. Material felt good though.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you liked the material, though we're sorry the fit wasn't quite right. We appreciate you sharing your sizing experience, and our customer support team would be happy to help you exchange both the hoodie and gloves for the next size up. Thanks again for your review!
