KEMIMOTO Motorcycle Mesh Armored Shirt — CE-1 Removable Armor, Breathable Ventilated Fit

KEMIMOTO's Motorcycle Mesh Armored Shirt is a breathable, CE-1 certified protective riding layer built to keep you cool, visible, and protected on short commutes or long-distance rides.

Designed as a lightweight yet protective option for motorcyclists, this armored mesh shirt blends high-elastic, punched mesh fabric with CE-1 rated armor plates covering the back, chest, shoulders, and elbows. The construction focuses on airflow and fit so you can wear it alone in warm weather or as a base layer under a heavier jacket. Small rider-focused touches like silicone hem grips, two zippered side pockets, and a zipper chin guard make the shirt practical for everyday use while the removable armor simplifies cleaning and storage.

How does the shirt keep me cool during hot rides?

The shirt uses a high-elastic mesh with punched armor placements to maximize ventilation across the torso and limbs. The soft, stretchy fabric conforms to your body without restricting movement, and the ventilated back protector prevents heat build-up during longer trips.

• Punched mesh panels for continuous airflow
• Breathable back protector to reduce trapping heat
• Stretch fabric that allows airflow while maintaining fit
• Silicone hem to keep the shirt from shifting and exposing skin

What level of protection does the CE-1 armor provide?

The shirt is fitted with CE-1 certified removable armor that protects seven critical areas: back, chest, both shoulders and both elbows. While CE-1 is an entry-level impact protection classification, the multi-zone coverage and engineered placement help reduce contact force in a slide or impact.

• CE-1 rated armor in seven protective zones
• Removable armor pieces for washing and replacement
• Strategic padding layout to protect common impact points
• Zipper guard to avoid chin irritation during impact

Can I use this shirt on its own, or does it need to be layered?

The KEMIMOTO mesh armored shirt is designed for both standalone use in warm weather and layering beneath heavier jackets when temps drop. Non-shrink fabric maintains its shape so the fit and protective placement remain consistent after repeated washes.

• Wear-alone design for warm, urban rides
• Low-profile enough to serve as a protective base layer
• Durable mesh resists abrasion during normal use
• Easy-care fabric with removable armor for machine washing

What rider conveniences are built into the shirt?

Small but practical features make daily use easier: two side zipper pockets offer secure on-the-bike storage, the silicone hem keeps the shirt in place while moving, and a double-zone reflective strip improves visibility after dark. These details reduce distractions and let you access essentials without stopping.

• Two zippered side pockets for phone, keys, or small tools
• Double-zone bright silver reflective design for night visibility
• Zipper chin guard to protect skin and prevent snags
• Removable armor for hassle-free laundering and maintenance

Who is this for? The KEMIMOTO Motorcycle Mesh Armored Shirt suits recreational riders, commuters, and touring motorcyclists who prioritize ventilation and mobility while retaining impact protection in common collision zones. It's ideal for riders in warm climates or those who want a breathable base layer with practical pockets and visibility enhancements. If you need heavier, certified impact performance beyond CE-1, consider pairing this mesh shirt with an over-jacket or selecting higher-rated armor systems for highway or high-speed track use.
