Battle 6.0 Best

When riding on cold days, it's always the chest area that gets cold.

It's where you take the full force of the wind,
and if this area gets cold, the overall chill you feel changes.

There are moments when you just want to add another layer.

A vest as that "another layer."

The Battle Vest is an item often used in such situations.

Just by adding this,
it prevents the wind from hitting your chest directly.

As a result, your perceived temperature changes by a full notch.

It's the perfect balance for those moments when you think, "I wish I had one more layer."

"A mere vest wasn't enough."

Max, the founder of Akimoto, says:

"Something about the vests on the market just didn't feel right.

Leather is heavy and hard to handle,
and while denim has a good vibe, it lacks wind protection.

So, I decided to create something I would want myself."

This garment was born from that feeling.

Designed for movement.

With stretchy side panels, it allows for unrestricted movement.

It won't pull when in a riding posture,
and minimizes stress even when layered.

It's designed to accommodate actual movement, not just for looks.

Perfect for these uses.

Adding a layer over a hoodie on a cold day.
Wearing it when the temperature drops in the mornings and evenings.

Adding a little extra comfort during your ride.

This vest is perfect for such uses.

Staff Review

"It's very light and comfortable to wear, making it pleasant even on long rides.
While the fit is sleek, thanks to the stretch panels on both sides, it can be comfortably layered over a T-shirt, hoodie, or jacket without feeling restrictive.
The front 2-way zipper is very convenient as it prevents the vest from riding up while in a riding posture and allows for adjustment.
The rib collar is soft and doesn't rub against the neck, so it's stress-free even on long tours.
The pockets are also practical, and the design allows it to be worn as is in town, making it a versatile vest for everything from touring to everyday use."

Size Guide

~ Please Read Before Purchasing ~

"I always wear a size M, so it'll be fine" is not enough. Please measure carefully.

This vest features stretchy fabric on both sides. If you prefer a tighter fit, please choose one size smaller.
The model in the photo is approximately 183cm tall, weighs 83kg, has a chest circumference of 100cm, and is wearing a size M.

How to Measure

1. Take a well-fitting vest or jacket you own for riding (consider the layers you'll wear underneath)
2. Lay it completely flat with buttons fastened
3. Measure the "flat bust width" (from side seam near armpit to opposite side seam). It's important to measure accurately to both seams.
4. Compare with the size chart below

Flat Measurement	Chest Width	Length
S	51cm	67cm
M	53cm	68cm
L	55cm	69cm
XL	57cm	70cm

Staff Try-on Review

【166cm/62kg/Male】Wearing Size: S
Wearing size S, it was a snug fit. It fits closely to the body.
If you want a more relaxed fit, size M would be an option, but I felt the shoulders of size M were a bit too large. For those who want a true-to-size fit, choosing your usual size is recommended.
