Hi!
Rick sent a message to our Helpdesk recently about an unfortunate crash in his Supershirt 2.0. Here's how it went...
Hi,
Not sure this is the best email to send this to but just wanted to give some feedback on the performance of the Supershirt 2.0.
I’m currently in Spain at the end of an amazing week on the TET. I’ve always been a fan of a layering approach from years of learning the hard way mountaineering. I upgraded from the Bowtex shirt this year with a Supershirt 2.0 and a Linesman Jacket.
Firstly, you guys have absolutely nailed the layering approach. The two jackets compliment each other amazingly and still works great with my non bike insulation and waterproof layers. With the sleeves on the Linesman Jacket is great on faster road sections or colder spells. With the sleeves off though, (Rambo mode) there is nothing that compares to the air flow. It’s like wearing burn cream. Absolutely amazing.
I invariably came off the bike a few times and once very hard. While sorting out the fork seals on my 701 I was riding some enduro around Barcelona on my friends WR250 and slammed my shoulder (in sleeveless mode) hard into gravel.
A) the Supershirt 2.0 doesn’t have a single scratch on it (which is less than I can say for my new helmet) and B) I walked away with very mild bruising.
I can only imagine how much work you guys have put into prototyping and iterating on the design of your products but, for what it’s worth, your hard work has absolutely and very literally saved my skin.
Well done and thank you!

Making protective motorcycle kit is an odd thing.
You hope it never gets used.
But when it does, stories like this really do motivate the whole team.
What wonderful feedback Rick, thank you for sharing it with us.
I hope the bruises are healing up well and you are back on the bike without any more drama.
Our UK and EU stores have just been restocked with all sizes of Supershirt 2.0, and USA stock will arrive in the next few days.
💪

P.S. Aqua Pac Boot Liners and Core Baselayers restock is about to land in about a week.
