Well my Flannel wearing friend. I like riding in a tee shirt when possible. I know… I know, it’s not “if” but when! I have a mesh that would add some protection and my leathers if it’s cool out, but part of the freedom is the sun on my skin.
Hey I don’t judge one way or the other. Most of my riding buddies ride like you. I just have to start getting ready to ride a few minutes before them. Also zero sun burns hahaha
I have an armoured Flannel I need to review this winter. Not SR and not Mesh, Very warm, to warm in the summer so I got a Armoured shirt for summer and need to do a review on it also.
Be very curious to see your brand and review. I’m behind on watching I think I may have missed one or two of yours. I promise I’ll get to them. Thanks Mike.
I like the color of your shirt, and I'm a big flannel fan to, but I bough the wife and I Bohn Body Armor shirt's and we took the armor out of them, it was heavy and uncomfortable, great job on the video brother💯👊🏽😎
A good honest review. I only have one armored flannel made by Scorpion EXO. I wear it often just running errands but I rock leather mist of the time. Eric
I don't have a problem with the back pad on mine. I agree with you on the front pockets, and didn't even know there was an inside pocket. 😂 For the money, these things are really nice. One con I'll add is, the color on mine is fading a bit, after almost a year and a half. Getting stuck behind a septic truck, is always crappy.😂
I ordered mine on June 6th and I cannot track the order. It says it ships through DHL Express in 3-7 days, & it’s been 6 days so far. Were you able to track your order?
I have one tourmaster riding jacket, without the inner insert still gets a little hot in the summer. Digging the flannel might have to snag myself one next season.
I am also digging that 360 angle. Not a fan of the crazy effects some use the 360's for, but this 2nd person type shot is money. I've got a couple of the Milwaukee Leather armored flannels. Very similar with much better inside pockets, but kevlar only in the impact areas. Can get 'em on sale for $82-90 depending on size. They don't include back armor for that price though, only CE2 shoulder and elbow armor. Has a back pouch to add armor.
I really just don’t like the back protector even though I’m sure it increases safety exponentially. Just checked out Milwaukee Leather and def had some things in there I’m interested in, thanks for the recommendation
I've never tried a flannel. I usually ride with a jacket thats mesh in warm weather and leather when it cools down. I may need to give flannel a try 👍👊🇺🇸
Nice dig at the beginning, I appreciate that. I agree with you on the pockets thing, thats kinda weird. they should make anti wind flaps instead. Good long term review.
👍✊💯. Loving that 360 angle. I personally am not a big clothing person. I’m always wearing my jacket and cut. If I get caught riding without my vest I get in trouble lol 😂. It looks nice 👍
No Purple and black but they have a blue that would match your ride pretty well. skullriderz.com/collections/ladies-kevlar-clothing/products/road-armor%E2%84%A2-ladies-protective-shirt?variant=31973267898483
@@ChopperFett oh that looks nice! Thank you for sharing that link... I really appreciate it... I'll pass it on to Tommy G and maybe I'll find one of those under the Christmas tree LOL
I have the mesh shirt which I really like, I do wish it had side pockets but it is a shirt which do not have side pockets. All in all I’m very happy with it.
ChopperFett, thanks for the update. I too am looking to get the Armor Flannel shirt and also their new one, the Mesh Armored Shirt. Have you gotten to review one of those?
I just ordered one. I’ve come across their ad for a while now and decided to pull the trigger after this video. Thanks for the info. I have a 15% off link if anyone is interested.

Good review. Big fan of flannel shirts. Gonna have to check these out. That pocket design on the front is kind of odd. Design wise I can understand they probably wanted it to look like a regular shirt. Function wise on the bike, doesn't seem to work right. haha Ride safe!
Technically when you are riding, not a lot of people are staring at your chest so it’s really a nit pick like I said. When off the bike the pockets make it look like an actual shirt.
Haha any excuse to get out on the bike 😂 I do like those shirts, a great idea for the warmer weather, I’d do the same and take the back armour out, sounds uncomfortable 😬😀🤘🏻
2:59 haha "Everyone hates things..." WISE WORDS! Hey man, you could do a little 3M velcro on those front pockets to keep the flap down. You won't even need the button. Then you can start a new series on the channel called "Fett's Fixes." You're welcome. Keep up the good work brother!
I love how friendly SR is on the wallet. Definitely a good value, but I've been looking at Tobacco Motorwear riding shirts lately, although they're 3x more than SR. Also, I'm just getting into the Dixxon game...that's bad news for my wallet.
haha I have about 15 Dixxon that I collected over last 1.5 years. I Havent bought one in a while as I'm trying to lose some weight and dont want to buy something big just to not be able to wear it in the future.
Hmmm, never thought of buying one of these jackets before but may give it a go for next year. Christmas is coming, better get it on my wish list, Thanks Brett, cheers and be safe, Dave
4:35 you talked about the paper airplane effect. I noticed you don't have a windshield, do you think a faring/windshield would eliminate that? Say on a goldwing 🤔
I think they took your advice about the armor for the back now it's a soft rectangle shape now and you can barely feel it in the jacket the pockets are made to flip inside itself for cooling you down and now is stiffer so it doesn't airplane inside pocket easy to get to but poor quality zipper head
That’s good to hear. I know when I got my mesh one is was during their transition to the new armor but still had the rock back pad. Might pick one up and see how it feels. Thanks!

A good honest review. I only have one armored flannel made by Scorpion EXO. I wear it often just running errands but I rock leather mist of the time. Eric
Yea it’s very similarly built to the Scorpion. Thanks for stopping by Eric!
I totally need to order one of these still, the concept and style is on point
Thanks man! Pretty happy so far anyway

Yea I noticed a little fading on mine as well on the spots the sun hits which any cotton shirt would probably fade after a summer of riding.

@@Hammyqt I just checked, I ordered mine on May 31st, and got the shipping notice on June 11th. They did send tracking info as well.
Thanks, I was getting ready to buy a mesh jacket but wanted to know more about these. I love flannels too.
Great vid Mate! Im Aussie so we are all about the Flanny!🤘
Get it get it! Lol
Compared to leathers, those are inexpensive!!!
Call me old … haha, I am still love the leathers.
Someday I might get with it for new tech !!
Cheers
Nothing wrong with leathers, I just find it great there are alternatives for everyone!
I have one tourmaster riding jacket, without the inner insert still gets a little hot in the summer. Digging the flannel might have to snag myself one next season.
I really do like it, I think I like my mesh JUST a tad more though.
loving the different angles fam!!
Something different to catch peoples eye

Great Rides bro. Keep it up and more vidz to come. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS
Thank you!
I've never tried a flannel. I usually ride with a jacket thats mesh in warm weather and leather when it cools down. I may need to give flannel a try 👍👊🇺🇸
I feel the flannel is the perfect inbetween. Sometimes leather is just a tad too warm and the mesh a little too chilly.
I do not think you can beat the bang for the buck. I love my flannel. Ride Safe!
Rock on man! Tempted to try the zip up hoodie for cooler weather.
@@ChopperFett I bought the hoodie 1st and because I liked it so much I jumped in the flannel.
Nice dig at the beginning, I appreciate that. I agree with you on the pockets thing, thats kinda weird. they should make anti wind flaps instead. Good long term review.
Hahaha playful jabs haha
@@ChopperFett Just wait till my video on Sunday.... it's going to get interesting.
The pocket moving while riding is definitely not a deal breaker. But I'm sure they are listening to what should be changed to make it better.
Yea for sure. I’ve talked to them a few times and they seemed pretty responsive. They like criticism if not done in a bashing sense
Bill gets around! 😂
Looks like a great shirt/jacket/thing! ✌️😂🇦🇺
hahah I'm scared for that winery!!!
👍✊💯. Loving that 360 angle. I personally am not a big clothing person. I’m always wearing my jacket and cut. If I get caught riding without my vest I get in trouble lol 😂. It looks nice 👍
Hahah oh I hear ya. I know some people are like me and others aren’t. Biker is a biker no matter what you wear.
@@ChopperFett yup amen I’m thinking about going solo lately. The club thing isn’t worth all the political crap
Shirt looks nice...I would love a purple and black!!
No Purple and black but they have a blue that would match your ride pretty well.

Haha Pat I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to put stuff in some side pockets.
I still need to upgrade my Shark Flannel jacket. Toying with buying the Johnny Rebb flannel.
Just looked these up! They look very similar indeed! I'd almost wager they are made in the same factory haha.
Great looking shirt and definitely be looking into getting one. Great video🤙
Just threw it back on the other day as it got a little chillier up north and still super comfortable, even with a hoodie on under it lol.
ChopperFett, thanks for the update. I too am looking to get the Armor Flannel shirt and also their new one, the Mesh Armored Shirt. Have you gotten to review one of those?

Stay tuned for a NEW flannel from BOHN!! 😎 I like the color of yours! 💚💥🖤
Tell me more tell me more!
@@ChopperFett Roger!
4:35 you talked about the paper airplane effect. I noticed you don't have a windshield, do you think a faring/windshield would eliminate that? Say on a goldwing 🤔
Undoubtedly. It works a lot better on my Dyna with fairing.
Lets Go!!
Thanks man!
Looks good but I like the leathers.
Ain’t nothin wrong with leathers! I actually have a leather jacket when it dips into the 30s
Ordered one with the upgraded armor was a extra 40 I think. Waiting for it to come in
Curious if you got it and what you think of the upgraded armor?
Plaid looks good! I was trying to be atgatt and it didn’t work. 😂
I don’t think I would be with Texas heat either haha
@@ChopperFett yeah it gets hot. But Tulsa is hotter.
it never works
I ordered mine on June 6th and I cannot track the order. It says it ships through DHL Express in 3-7 days, & it’s been 6 days so far.
It’s been a minute since I ordered from them but DHL is not the best.
Mine said it would be shipped with DHL in 7 days, which it did on the 7th day. It arrived about a week after that.
👌🏻👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks man!
Was that back armor Level I? Maybe Level II since it seems more pliable?
This was def Level 1 as I didnt pay to upgrade
How long does it usually take to receive the shirt? I'm in Virginia and I just ordered one and hoping to have it before September 1st for a trip.
great share fam!!
Appreciate your support man!
@@ChopperFett 🤙🏾🔥
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤝🤝🤝🤝
Thanks!
Been using one for over a year. Curious about best way to wash it
lol great add in
Gotta have em!
Is it possible to swap the original back protection and replace it with an aftermarket one? (Dainese, Alpinestar, etc.)
I don’t see why not really. They have CE2 level armor that can go in there. If you need any measurements or pictures of the armor hit me up on IG
@@ChopperFett thanks for you answer. I'll dm you on IG for measurements ;)
okay so the butt cam....it's gotta go LOL
The armored flannel has a great look, and once I get $140, I may have to look into getting one.
This series of videos are the only ones it was part of. I don’t think you’ll see it again haah.
Nice V-Rod there...
Thank you. No longer mine but still in the family!
woo hoo, twisties!!
If yall ever make it this way youll see my struggle.
@@ChopperFett 😂... Well hopefully next year... More states!! 🏍️🏍️🏍️
it's a great looking flannel. and sure they are half the price of dixxon. lol
Hahah well I wouldnt half the price of a dixxon but the Dixxon aint doing jack in a slide
Yeah, that's a real bummer you had to ride to go get your keys...I feel badly for you 😂
Yea woe is me right?
lol gotta love twisties
Takem when I can get em
you wearing indie ridge gloves
