What you see in the photos attached to my review are the torn, tattered, and shredded remains of my wife's hoodie. Roughly three months ago, my wife purchased this hoodie and a green flannel jacket for myself. They were comfortable and moveable despite having pads and protective lining in them. Last month, my wife was in a terrible motorcycle accident and has not been released from the hospital yet, but she is alive and making huge progress in her recovery. This hoodie literally helped to save my wife's life from an accident that she should not have made it out of. Her bike ended up being a runaway, and before she could ditch it, she was carried off the road into a thick and dense area of foliage and trees. She suffered serious injuries from the speed of the impact, but none of them were life-threatening due to this jacket. The back armor protected her spine, so she only had a few cracked ribs. Her left arm suffered serious trauma from the impact force and was dislocated, and a fracture to the middle of her radius. Her elbow and shoulder were still intact, though as the shoulder set itself and her elbow moved perfectly. As for bleeding, she only had a minor laceration to her spleen.

While those injuries sound grizzly, they are not life-threatening and are easily fixed. In fact, the left arm and spleen were the least of the doctor's worries after the accident, as she sustained serious head trauma. She did have some bruises but no cuts, scrapes, or other open wounds anywhere that were protected by this clothing. The damage to her torso could have been so much worse, but this clothing kept branches from clawing at her skin, poison ivy from being all over her, and absorbed so much of the impact from what should have otherwise killed her to a couple of common injuries that are seen among athletes.

Once my wife woke up from the accident, she was disappointed to hear that the hoodie had to be cut off by EMTs. She was happy to know that it protected her and did its job perfectly. Today, I am purchasing another hoodie to replace this one. My wife's goal is to recover, get back out on the road on another motorcycle, and continue wearing clothing she knows she can trust to protect her when the worst-case scenarios occur.

Wrecked in this sweatshirt shredded the outside layer didn’t have a scratch on me(they also sent me a replacement same day I reported it)

I was involved in a very bad motorcycle accident when I lady pulled out I front of me at an intersection. I was ejected 136 feet and had very serious injuries but I only had on minor cut down my forearm, thanks to the Body guard hoodie I was able to avoid more injuries on my upper body. Jacket was cut from the ambulance

i’ve been wearing your gear for the past month ever since i bout the aramid hoodie and jeans. i’ve loved how comfortable i’ve felt, from 40°F weather to 80°F whether, and i’ve ridden in it every day. last night, i got hit from behind and run over on the way to dinner. the car dragged me a good distance before rolling over my feet. i ended up with a dislocated big toe, two fractures in my foot, and a laceration from where the skin tore with the dislocation. BUT i have extremely minimal road rash, all in places where the hoodie and jeans weren’t covering. nothing else made i through the last layer of your gear. you make an amazing product that saved me a great deal of injury, and i will 100% be buying replacements and then more of these. thank you so much, my brother

I recently got in a head on crash with a car turning across my lane. I hit this car HARD, bounced off and flew about 30ft. Helmet was ruined, bike was destroyed, the front wheel broke off etc. I ended up with a broken arm and a broken tibia, along with a possible ACL tear and 26 stitches. I’m still in the hospital and will be in a wheelchair for 8 weeks. I have ZERO injuries to my chest, abdomen, and spine. I don’t have ANY road rash on my body anywhere. My helmet and this hoodie saved my life and allowed me to get away with all my skin and no permanent injuries. If you wear one piece of gear aside from a helmet WEAR THIS HOODIE it will protect you. They had to cut the hoodie off at the scene, when I get another bike I will be buying this hoodie again without thinking twice.
