Optimal Shirt Black - CE AA protection under your favorite jacket

Ride protected without changing your look.

The Optimal Shirt Black is a technical shirt designed for bikers who want to combine safety, comfort and style in their everyday riding. Slipped under a jacket, sweatshirt or shirt, it becomes a discreet and effective armor, CE Level AA approved.

Made from stretch UHMWPE, it guarantees high resistance to abrasion while naturally following the body's movements. Its snug fit remains invisible under your clothes, and its breathable fabric keeps you comfortable even on the longest rides.

It comes with integrated SAS-TEC Level 1 shoulder and elbow protection, and can be complemented by a SAS-TEC back protector. Once you've arrived at your destination, it folds up in seconds to slip into a backpack or pannier.
