Battle 6.0 Best

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

As the place that takes the full force of the wind,
when this part gets cold, the way your whole body feels the chill changes.

There are moments when you just want to add one more layer.

A vest as that "one more layer."

This Battle Vest is an item often used for exactly those moments.

Simply layering this on
prevents the wind from hitting your chest directly.

As a result, your perceived temperature shifts by a notch.

It’s the perfect balance for those moments when you think, "I need one more layer."

"A simple vest wasn't enough."

Akinmoto founder Max explains:

“I couldn’t find a vest on the market that felt quite right.

Leather is heavy and difficult to handle,
and denim looks cool but lacks sufficient windproofing.

So, I decided to make something I would actually want to wear myself.”

This garment was born from that very sentiment.

A structure designed for movement.

With stretch side panels, it doesn’t restrict your movement.

It doesn't feel tight even in a riding position,
and stays stress-free even when layered.

It’s designed not just for looks, but for actual performance.

Perfect for ways like this.

Adding a layer over your hoodie on a cold day.
Throwing it on when the temperature drops in the morning or evening.

Adding just a little bit of comfort to your ride.

It's the perfect vest for exactly that kind of usage.

Why this vest is chosen by riders

• Tough outer material with superior abrasion resistance
  The exterior features Protective Maxtex 1000D. This heavy-duty, high-strength polyester fabric is even more robust than previous models, delivering excellent abrasion resistance. Triple stitching and reinforced construction make it ready for tough riding.

• Comfortable fit with smart stretch panels
  Smart stretch panels are positioned on the sides. The design ensures a comfortable fit whether worn over a T-shirt, a hoodie, or a jacket.

• 2-way zipper to prevent riding up
  Features a high-quality YKK two-way zipper. By opening it from the bottom to adjust, you can prevent the vest from riding up while you’re in the saddle.

• Insulated design for comfort on cold days
  Features a 170g quilted thermal lining and fleece-lined pockets. Additionally, a storm flap prevents wind from entering through the zipper, reducing chill in the chest area.

Staff Review

“It’s very light and comfortable, making it easy to wear even on long rides.
The fit is streamlined, but thanks to the stretch panels on both sides, you can comfortably layer it over a T-shirt, hoodie, or jacket without restriction.
The front 2-way zipper is very convenient as it allows you to adjust the fit so the vest doesn't bunch up while in a riding position.
The ribbed collar is soft and doesn't rub against the neck, so I don't feel any stress even during long tours.
The pockets are well-designed and the style works perfectly for walking around town, making this a highly versatile vest for everything from touring to daily wear.”

Size Guide

～Please read before purchasing～

"I'm always a size M, so it should be fine" is not the case. Please be sure to measure.

The sides of this vest feature stretch fabric. If you prefer a tight fit, please choose one size smaller than your usual size.
The model in the photo is approximately 183cm tall, 83kg, with a 100cm chest, and is wearing a size M.

How to measure

1. Prepare a vest or jacket you already own that fits well while riding (consider the layers you plan to wear underneath).
2. Lay it perfectly flat with the buttons fastened.
3. Measure the "flat pit-to-pit width" (from the side seam near the armpit to the opposite side seam). It is important to measure accurately to the seams on both sides.
4. Compare with the size chart below.

Flat Measurement	Width (Pit-to-Pit)	Length
S	51cm	67cm
M	53cm	68cm
L	55cm	69cm
XL	57cm	70cm

Staff Fit Review

【166cm/62kg/Male】Wearing Size: S
Wearing size S, it was a snug fit. It contours well to the body.
You could choose M for a looser fit, but the shoulder area felt a bit large in that size. For those who want a true, snug fit, choosing based on the provided size chart is recommended.
