“Saved my life”
“This hoodie literally saved my skin. I was in an accident at the beginning of 24, had my NBT hoodie on and slid for a good ~150 feet give or take through some asphalt and rocks in the scenery. Made it out with 0 road rash, but the broken tibia is another story. Only had the hoodie 3 months but was more than worth the save. Thank you NBT.”
WHAT MAKES A BODYGUARD A BODYGUARD
Built by riders like you
Every detail here came from a rider asking for it.
- Single layer - about a pound lighter, same AA rating
- Rear-facing belt loops so the hem doesn't ride up your back at speed
- Thumb loops that keep the sleeves down and the air out
- Raglan sleeves for full reach to the bars
- No drawstrings to ding your helmet
- Incognito Storage to keep your s*** safe
"Had the original and loved it, this one's even better. No drawstrings dinging my helmet anymore, and like the added thumb loops."
— Caden M., Boynton Beach, FL
"CE AA" means it was actually tested for safety
Most "armored" hoodies are a claim. This one has been lab tested.
CE AA is a third-party rating under EN 17092, the European standard for riding gear. It tests the three things that decide whether a garment can protect you from road rash in a slide: how long the fabric resists abrasion, whether the seams hold instead of splitting open, and how hard it is to tear.
AA is the tier built for real road speeds.
"Wrecked in this sweatshirt. Shredded the outside layer, didn't have a scratch on me. They also sent me a replacement the same day I reported it."
— Zac, Junction City, KS
Gear no one knows you're wearing
You get where you're going and you just walk in. No changing in a parking lot, no second outfit in the bag.
It hangs in the closet next to your regular hoodies.
"Feels like a regular hoodie with added protection. Very comfy."
— Jack C., Newport, MI
Built for on-the-bike comfort
Raglan sleeves, so you actually reach the bars. Single-layer shell with no stiff liner fighting you. Belt loops keep it from riding up and thumb loops keep it in place while maintaining breathability.
"Not only is it comfortable and looks good — it feels really high-quality, both in terms of textile materials and armor."
— Ray, Long Beach, CA
You'll actually put it on -- even for the quick trips
No ritual, no gearing up. Grab it off the hook and go.
You take the long way more often, and you say yes to the ride instead of talking yourself out of it.
"Super comfortable while riding yet definitely makes me feel protected while I ride around town… I enjoy every ride."
— Bryan P., Fort Lauderdale, FL
