Blackhawk 2.0 Riding Shirt Black

Comfort between a jacket and everyday wear

"It's a bit too hot for a jacket today."
On days like that, just throw this on over a T-shirt.

It looks like a work shirt.
But the moment you slide your arms in, the thickness of the fabric tells you otherwise.

This is not just a shirt.
It is a garment designed with protection in mind.

Keep riding, even in the heat

It is built on the premise that you will keep riding, even on hot days.

Ventilation slits in the underarms and back
allow heat from the ride to escape.

Keep it on while you're riding.
Take it off when you get off the bike.

It fits naturally into the flow between your bike and the city.

Unnoticeable while in motion

Details that might be bothersome while riding have been addressed in advance.

The collar won't flap in the wind.
It can be operated while wearing gloves.
The sleeves won't come up short in a forward-leaning posture.

Thoughtful adjustments have been made here to reduce unnecessary stress.

More than just gear—a companion for the long haul

Rather than "heavy equipment,"
it feels like putting on a "reliable partner."

You want to hop on your bike without the fuss,
but you don't want to compromise on safety.

It’s a garment that makes your daily riding
freer and more secure.


*While the Trusty Shirt and Blackhawk Shirt have different names, they are color variants and share the same functionality.

 

Why this shirt is chosen by riders

• Tough fabric that stands up to hard riding
  Features 12oz CORDURA stretch twill. It combines high abrasion resistance with stretch, ensuring comfort without restricting movement while riding.

  The entire sleeve is lined with DuPont Kevlar, protecting your arms—the area most vulnerable during a fall—from friction. It offers a sense of security and protection.
• Cool and comfortable while riding
  Equipped with SmartVent ventilation designed to pull in airflow from the underarms and back.
  Even during long rides, it suppresses stuffiness and keeps you comfortable.
• Compatible with protectors
  Designed to accommodate protectors in the shoulders, elbows, and back (*sold separately).
  It strikes a balance between the lightness of a shirt and the protective performance required for riding.

Staff Review

"When you actually wear it, the fabric is sturdy but stretchy, so it’s easy to move in and doesn’t feel restrictive while riding. The fit is slightly slim, which helps prevent flapping and feels sleek.
It looks very simple, so being able to wear it as-is when you get off the bike is a big plus. If you plan to layer it over a thick hoodie or similar items, you might want to choose one size up. It's a great piece to use as an alternative to a mesh jacket for spring and summer touring."

Size Guide

～Please read before purchasing～

"I'm always a size M, so I'll be fine"—this is not necessarily true. Please be sure to measure.

The Blackhawk has a slightly slim fit. Please be sure to re-check the flat-laid chest width before selecting your size.

How to measure size

1. Prepare a casual button-down shirt that you own which fits well while riding (consider layering as well)
2. Lay it completely flat with the buttons fastened
3. Measure the "flat-laid chest width" (from side seam near the armpit to the opposite side seam). It is important to measure accurately between the seams.
4. Compare with the size chart below

Flat-laid size	Chest Width	Length	Sleeve Length
S	52.5 - 54.5cm	74cm	65cm
M	54.5 - 56.5cm	75cm	66cm
L	56.5 - 59cm	76cm	67cm
XL	59.5 - 61.5cm	77cm	68cm
