Would you buy a cheap parachute and jump out of an airplane? Scorpion has been making protective riding apparel for over ten years. They know that stupid hurts. They didn't just take a flannel shirt add some Kevlar thread and call it a protective garment. The Covert Flannel was designed from the very beginning to protect from abrasion and impact. The entire shirt has been lined with genuine DuPont™ Kevlar®, not just a small patch at the elbows. Additionally, all the critical seams have Scorpion's unique Exo-Stitch® to keep this shirt together if you hit the ground. If you want extra protection from impacts, there are pockets for optional SAS-TEC® CE armor at the elbows, shoulders and back. Classic cotton / polyester flannel outer material. 165-gram DuPont™ Kevlar® lining. Quilted polyester lining.
