Been wearing this hoodie on my rides for 6 months now and the quality is there. Holding up well. The hoodie is heavier than what I was expecting but It’s comfortable with the pads in which is rare. Fits true to size. A little adjustment period trying to get your arms in the sleeves bc the layers in the jacket. Still a good product I’d recommend.
The stitching just doesn't hold up at all. I got my 3.0 back in July of 2026 and it's October and the stitching has come loose or torn in multiple spots. I ordered the correct size per the size guide, followed the care exactly as the tag said and even had to re-stitch multiple areas. For a $300 jacket that is supposed to save my skin in a crash I would have hoped this would have lasted longer.
Hi Cody, we’re sorry the stitching on your Men's Body Guard Hoodie 3.0 has failed so soon, especially after you followed the size and care instructions. We understand your concern given the price and the protection the jacket is meant to provide. Please contact our support team with your order details and photos of the affected areas so we can look into this and help.
AmazIng quality and very stylish.
Absolutely love the hoodie that I got from NBT. Fits me so well, and it's also warm now that the weather is getting chillier. You can definitely feel that the material is made out of a safe fabric that will definitely protect you if you ever crash.
This will be my 4th peice from NBT. Great stuff
I'm very picky about gear, but all I can say is this hoodie is perfect, I normally wear a 3xl with normal hoodies because don't like tight stuff so that what I bought. Being that its AA cert lined it a little smaller but but its perfect. Would defiantly recommend & might even guy the 3.0 next season. My only issue is they didn't send any NBT stickers, but not a game breaker, lol
Fast shipping and packaged really well. The quality was noticeable right out of the box—the material and construction feel solid, durable, and made to last. Sizing was perfect for me and the hoodie fits great without feeling overly bulky. Really happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it.
This hoodie is great. can be a little tough to get off and on if you are getting sweaty like going to and leaving the gym. i look forward to riding in it when it gets a big colder but its very quality and soft. i would wear it when not riding if i take the pads out. will be getting another in a different color as well! highly recommend
Went down on my right side coming out of a curve a little too wide with gravel right on the shoulder. Lost control, crashed and passed out. Long story short, the hoody barely has a scratch on it. The tiniest tear on the shoulder side and thats all! I was surprised to see that bc my helmet looks like it I went through a pretty bad fall. Still recovering from neck shoulder and wrist pain but wanted to leave this review to show appreciation. Maybe i’ll get a white one with a zipper to reduce heat intake from a black one (it was 95* that day) and make it easier to put on and take off.
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.
