Garfield Flannel | V2 Armored
Garfield Flannel V2 – Now with Armor-Ready Pockets, Rider-First Details, and Lab-Tested Abrasion Resistance for Trail-to-Town Versatility
** Does not include Armor, we do have armor for sale if you need it**
From Sunday service to singletrack, this isn't your average flannel. The Garfield Flannel delivers classic, three-tone check style with serious motorcycle protection, and Version 2 adds the upgrades riders asked for most: full armor-ready pockets, on-bike mobility, and everyday details that earn their place on every ride.
Independently lab-tested to AA abrasion resistance under EN 17092-1:2020 by TTI Labs, a trusted third-party tester for protective gear. AA rating means the fabric in key slide areas meets European standards for AA abrasion resistance, proven to hold up during low to mid speed slides, helping reduce road rash risk where it counts most.
Built by riders who live the dual life: wheelies out of church lots, ripping BDRs between sermons, then blending in at the coffee shop like nothing happened. Stylish enough for family dinners & tough enough to back you up if your ride goes sideways.
🆕 New in Version 2:
- Armor-ready pockets at back, shoulders, and elbows — internal pockets built to hold CE-rated impact armor at all three zones. We are working with TTI Labs to achieve a full CE AA rating for the armored configuration. Armor is not included, but we sell compatible armor separately so you can build out your protection.
- Sunglass holder in the upper pocket — a dedicated spot to stash your shades safely during a break or stop, so they are not rattling loose in a pocket or left behind on a tailgate.
- Integrated microfiber cloth — built in to keep your sunglasses (or visor) clean on the go, right where you need it.
- Thumb loops — keep your sleeves down and in place when you are reaching for the bars, layering up, or pulling on gloves.
- Mechanical stretch in the shoulders — added give exactly where you need it for better reach and on-bike mobility, no fighting the fabric through a turn.
- Lightweight internal zipper — a full internal closure that keeps the shirt secure and adds a layer of safety in the event you hit the ground, without the bulk of a heavy moto jacket.
-
Overall Size Increase - With our V1 a lot of customers had to size up. In V2 we've increased the overall size to match your true USA size chart. If you normally wear a Large T-Shirt in most major brands. You will also fit a large in the V2.
- Airbag Compatible: With the overall size increase this allows us to be airbag compatible allowing enough room for your airbag to deploy should in the unfortunate event need it! Clint tested his at the top of Cinnamon Pass in Colorado!
Why riders trust this flannel on (and off) the bike:
- Real protection without the bulk — Dyneema® denim reinforcement at back, shoulders, arms, and elbows for top-tier abrasion resistance and flexibility. Full Aramid (Kevlar-family) lining across the back and side shoulders adds slide protection in high-impact zones. Armor-ready pockets at back, shoulders, and elbows let you add CE-rated impact protection where it matters. Dyneema-reinforced button plackets and durable shank buttons (with horizontal holes) stay secure, no bail-outs mid-lowside.
- Comfort & everyday wearability — Lightweight 50/50 cotton-polyester blend feels soft and breathable. Mechanical stretch shoulders move with you on the bike. Thumb loops keep sleeves put. Ventilated cuffs for better airflow on warm rides. Smooth 100% polyester lining glides over base layers. Tailored fit minimizes flapping at speed while keeping it casual and non-restrictive.
- Practical premium details — Sunglass holder and built-in microfiber cloth in the upper pocket for quick stops. Lightweight internal zipper for added security if you go down. Single-layered front panels reduce weight and bulk for all-day comfort. High-tensile stitching throughout for long-term durability. Authentic look with no obvious "biker" snaps, rolls up sleeves, looks sharp, rides hard.
