Favorite Trips and Top Picks
MY TOP PICKS
Stalwarts are my daily go to. I rock The Bomber if the weather is sketchy (waterproof) and the hoodie the rest of the time. Gloves are solid for hot days/summer rides.
TOP 5 REASONS I CHOOSE NBT
You need the right gear for the right application. Would I wear NBT to the track? No. Do I think it's the perfect gear for an all day adventure or your commute? 100%. With NBT you get top-notch protection but also unmatched style and comfort giving you one of the most important things on the road -- confidence.
1) I Like The Missions They're On
Nick (Founder and Co-Designer) is at every event, has a bunch of bikes and spends his free time riding and wrenching like I do.
I like supporting a brand that's in it for the passion and I believe in their mission:
"This is our pledge: to keep you protected, to make you look good, and to inspire confidence on every road, in every adventure."
2) Free Armor In All Their Gear
It's a pain when you have to buy armor separate and I love that NBT always includes a set of CE Level 1 armor with every purchase.
My personal favorite is the bodyguard hoodie because you can wear it year round hot or cold.
3) Everything Is Lined With Aramid
Aramid is a synthetic fiber that's used a lot for protective gear because it's extremely resistent to abrasion (protects against road rash). It's a TensileTough™ fabric that's used in applications like bullet proof vests and aerospace.
All tops are fully lined and jeans have it strategically placed in impact areas to keep them more comfortable and lightweight.
4) I Can Rock It All Day
I like all NBT gear but my personal favorites are the Stalwarts. They're incredibly comfortable and stretchy but maintain a classic fit that I can wear anywhere.
- Stitching is on point
- Free CE Level 1 armor in the knees and hips
- Incognito armor that no one would ever know is there.
5) 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
They give you 30 days to be sure you like what you got. If you decide they're not up to the job you can just send them back for easy returns or exchanges. Their customer service is also better than anyone else in the space.
PICKS FOR NEW RIDERS
Go with the LTR Aramids -- little bit cheaper but almost same protection. Flannel IMO is the most versatile and is fully lined with Aramid. Grab a pair of gloves and you're good to go (obviously buy a helmet).
