Product Information

Full details

The RST Race Dept D3O Motorcycle Armour Shirt is designed for street and track riders who require reliable, CE-certified impact protection without the bulk of a traditional jacket. Utilizing a stretch compression chassis and flexible D3O Level 2 armour, it ensures protectors remain perfectly aligned with your joints while wicking moisture away from the skin. While it provides excellent safety and climate control, it is intended to be worn as an under-layer rather than a standalone outer garment, necessitating an abrasion-resistant jacket worn over the top.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this shirt provide protection against road rash?

No. This shirt is designed for impact protection only. You must wear an abrasion-resistant motorcycle jacket over this shirt for protection against friction in the event of a slide.

Can I wash the shirt with the armour inside?

No. You should always remove the D3O armour inserts before washing the garment to prevent damage to the protectors and the fabric pockets.

Is the back protector included?

Yes, a CE Level 2 back protector is included as standard with the shirt.

How does D3O armour work?

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible in its resting state but locks together instantly upon impact to absorb and disperse energy.

Can I wear this for off-road riding?

While it provides excellent impact protection, it is primarily optimized for road and track environments. Ensure you wear a proper jersey or jacket over it to protect the shirt from trail debris.

Troubleshooting

Armour pads shifting during movement

Ensure the shirt size is correct and fits tightly against your skin; if the garment is too loose, the compression effect is lost.

Excessive heat build-up

Check that the outer riding jacket being worn over the shirt also has adequate ventilation ports to allow air to pass through the mesh zones.

Difficult to put on or take off

The compression design is intended to be snug. Gently stretch the fabric and ensure all armour is flat within the pockets to reduce friction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • CE Level 2 certification for superior impact absorption
  • Breathable mesh panels improve airflow and temperature regulation
  • Compression fit prevents armour from shifting out of position
  • Low profile design fits comfortably under various riding jackets
  • Flexible D3O material allows for a full range of natural movement

Cons

  • Must be worn under an abrasion-resistant jacket for full protection
  • Provides no road-rash protection on its own
  • Close-fitting design may feel restrictive to some riders

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, wear the shirt directly against your skin or over a lightweight technical base layer. Ensure the shoulder and elbow pads are properly centered before pulling on your outer riding jacket. When checking for fit, the armour should feel snug but not painful; if the protectors move significantly when you rotate your arms, consider a smaller size. To clean the shirt, remove all D3O armour inserts from their respective pockets. Hand wash the compression shirt in cool water with mild detergent and allow it to air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the garment, as this can degrade the stretch fabric and the efficacy of the armour pockets.
