All my riding gear is from NBT, and there’s a reason for that. Their products feel purpose‑built, not generic, with tough materials, clean design, and a fit that actually works when you’re on the bike. Everything from the stitching to the hardware feels solid and dependable.
What really sets NBT apart is how much they truly care about riders. You can see it in the way their gear is designed, tested, and refined. It’s not just about selling products, it’s about keeping riders comfortable, protected, and confident on every mile.
If you want gear that’s modern, durable, and backed by a company that genuinely puts riders first, NBT is the one to trust.
I have owned 2 of these hoodies in the past couple years riding. My first one saved my skin and from major soreness after my wipe out and crash with another car. The true to size fit makes it easy to shop especially being a bigger guy. It’s comfortable to wear all day even in higher temperatures. And the styling is so n point. Nothing flashy, just casual. Many people I’ve talked to didn’t even realize it was armored is how stealthy it looks. My only real gripe with this hoodie is the liner on the inside. I find when my skin is really hot or sweaty the liner in the sleeves push out a bit and I have to keep resetting my arm to get it positioned right. Outside of that this hoodie is perfect for anyone looking to get some basic gear for everyday riding without looking like it’s a track day
Absolutely love this hoodie. This is the second one I’ve purchased. Nothing wrong with the first one, just wanted another color to switch it up. They are comfortable and fit is true to size, unlike others brands that I have tried.
Thing fits good and the protection pads line up perfectly!! Sick jacket
I would absolutely recommend buying 11/10. I was riding in the rain (I know I know) hydroplaned slid 20ft on my chest and arm not a scratch on me and it barely scuffed up the hoodie. Definitely worth it in my opinion still have my skin on my body and that’s what counts. Not to mention it allows pretty good airflow and feels good to wear kinda like a weighted blanket.
We bought Bodyguard 2.0 Hoodies for my wife, our 16 year old son, and myself for Christmas. Our son went down on his 2001 GSX-R 750 and his hoodie held up amazing!!!! It was a nasty crash and the bike is totaled but his upper body was protected by your hoodie. He slid between 30-40 feet and it did not wear through. His helmet did its job, his boots did their job, his jeans wore through a little but did pretty good, however, your Bodyguard 2.0 held up so well we couldn't believe it!!!!
Good quality riding hoodie. Just be careful to not stain the lighter colored on. Very comfy, pockets are great. I will say, first wash I saw the hood stiches stretched. Could just be my washer hence why I am not fully blaming the hoodie. For the price and city cruising i think its perfect and comes with removable padding so you can choose your own comfort to safety ratios :)
Edit: NBT reached out and made things right and apologized about the mistake. The correct item has been shipped via expedited mail and should be here any day!
This review is not reflecting the product itself, I'm sure the hoodie is great. I ordered this last week and pay the extra money for expedited shipping. I wanted to get this as soon as possible because the weather has been extremely hot and the black one I have feels like a sauna in the sun.
The order was delivered and when I opened the bag the wrong item was sent. It had the zip up jacket instead of the hoodie. I sent an email and before NBT would even send the correct item, I had to go out of my way to print a return label and go to a fedex drop off and return the incorrect item.
I asked if I could be compensated at all like giving me a refund on the shipping I paid for plus additional refunds for the inconvenience but instead all I was given was a discount code for my next purchase which is not what I am looking for.
Im 5'7 at avg 195-200lbs. I bought a LARGE and upgraded armour to AXIAL CE Level 2 all around. The hoodie seems well built, good stitching, and has some weight but not heavy. Air good thru very well, but once you stop and stand the heat catches up. A YKK Heavy Duty Zip-Up would be interesting with a textile liner added to it, something close to Alpinestars Chrome Super Airflow Hoodie. So far I enjoy my hoodie over an air vented jacket due to intense heat in NYC. Night riding is amazing.
I was very impressed with the quality of the sweatshirt. The shirt itself without the armor is heavy, it weighs as much as my summer leather jacket. With the armor in its as heavy as my regular riding jacket. The stitching and quality of materials seems really good. I have had a couple riding sweatshirts before and neither had the solid feel of this one.
I'm too Big/Tall. 6ft6 295 for reference xxxl is just slightly too small.
My son really liked the sweater. He said he doesn’t get hot in it.
