This is as much of a review as it is a love letter to ATWYLD. I LUUUUV this Company. Their *intimate* customer service makes me feel that they don't see me as a mere “customer” but as a *client,* hell possibly a friend – someone they feel responsible to in getting the right product/right fit and addressing any concerns pronto. Ok, before I get to my review, #TrueConfessions time: there is a one-star review for the Barricade 2.0 on here and I must confess it is I. Here’s the thing folks: I didn’t even own the Barricade 2.0 when I wrote that review. I owned its predecessor — face palm. :-( PLEASE IGNORE my ERRONEOUS 1-star review. For lo and behold, all the problems I identified with the 1.0 version have ALL been addressed by the Barricade 2.0 * Easy to add 360-impact protection to any riding jacket/hoodie? Evidently! * Great Material — breathable, sturdy and secure? √ Check! * Armor do NOT migrate, ever? Not in the heat, not over a couple thousand miles? √ Check! * Battle-tested? √ Check! I was wearing the Barricade 2.0 in my first ever unscheduled dismount recently (late left-turning car). One minute I was sliding down a New York City block and boom the next minute I was riding away without a scratch. :-) Listen up ladies, I am so happy with my ATWYLD’s Barricade 2.0 that I gave away a competing product (the Knox Women’s Armored Shirt). That’s right . . . just marched it right out of my closet as I need the space for my growing ATWYLD collection. Nuff’ Said!

Love the jacket, would love a summer version as well? Any chance you would make in a light fabric color in the future? Maybe a faded neon!?

Amazing! Wish I would have known about these instead of originally buying a leather jacket for dual sport riding. The lightweight armor combined with mesh makes it feel like I’m not wearing armor at all. Combining this with a mesh jersey was life changing! It fits me true to size according to the size chart and I have no complaints.

Holy smokes I love this shirt. I know it's meant to be skin tight, but I sized up to a large (normally a small or medium) and it fits perfectly without my shirt bunching up too much. The D30 protection is so comfortable and super malleable. When I first received it, I found myself watching tv with it on, it was so comfy! Easily removed from their respective slots which will definitely encourage me to wash it. Thank you Atwyld!

Crash tested! Wore this armored shirt under my Atwyld Onyx Jacket on a road trip up the California Coast. Unfortunately that trip ended in a car turning in front of me and me T-boning them at 35 MPH. I am 100% fine now so dont worry. Although I had broken bones in other areas due to the severity of the impact, I had no road rash and no breaks on my upper body, elbow and shoulder which was protected by all the armor. Every area that had armor was un-harmed. I can't say the same for my pelvis, wrist or femur but I know it would have been a lot works had I not had full gear on with impact and abrasion protection. Thankful every day that i was wearing this. You can barely tell I have it on the photo.
