Hi!
We recently launched the new Supershirt 2.0.
The response has been wonderful, thank you.
Here's some of the top questions we've been asked since launch.
Take a look and if you still have questions, please drop our Helpdesk a message and we will do our best to help.
The following Flow armour is a good fit in The Supershirt 1.0:
- Flow Elbow Armour
- Flow Shoulder Armour
- Flow Back Armour 428
The following Flow armour fits in The Supershirt 1.0 with some consideration:
- Flow Back Armour 450 fits with the armour pocket stretching to acomodate the larger size
- Flow Chest Armour fits with some slight movement as it is a touch smaller than the old armour
See below for images showing how the new Flow armour compares with our previous Forcefield armour.
The following Supershirt 1.0 (yellow) armour fits Supershirt 2.0 sizes S/M/L:
- Yellow Back Armour
Note - the yellow back armour will NOT fit the Supershirt 2.0 sizes XL/2XL/3XL as it is too loose.
The following Supershirt 1.0 (yellow) armour fits Supershirt 2.0 sizes S/M/L/XL/2XL/3XL with some pocket stretching:
- Yellow Elbow Armour
- Yellow Shoulder Armour
- The Supershirt 1.0 used our previous version Forcefield armour. The Supershirt 2.0 ships with new Flow armour in the elbow and shoulders.
- The Supershirt 1.0 shipped with elbow, shoulder, chest and back armour. The Supershirt 2.0 ships with only new Flow elbow and shoulder armour. Flow chest and back armour are available as separate items.
- The fabric in The Supershirt 2.0 is now manufactured in a new mill in the UK.
- These changes have allowed us to manufacture and sell The Supershirt 2.0 at a lower price than The Supershirt 1.0.
- There are no other changes to the cut or features of The Supershirt 2.0.
- Both The Supershirt 1.0 and Supershirt 2.0 are CE AA certified.
The Supershirt 1.0 (size L) without armour weighs 661g / 23.3oz
The Supershirt 2.0 (size L) without armour weighs 664g / 23.4oz
The Supershirt 2.0 is constructed from the same UHDPE fabric as The Supershirt 1.0 so there is no difference in breathability of the material.
However, the new Flow armour that ships with The Supershirt 2.0 is considerably more perforated than our older armour and does allow more airflow.
Here's some visual examples of how the new Flow armour compares to our previous Forcefield armour.
