MC Gear Hub - Best Armored Base Layer of 2023
The Bowtex Elite leggings are the best motorcycle armored underpants at the moment because not only do they offer stock CE Level 2 limb armor (like the rest of competing armored underpants) but because the Bowtex Elite leggings also offer unmatched abrasion-shielding protection (unlike the rest of competing armored underpants).
Motorrad Mag Germany
Although the thin, very dense fabric does not quite achieve the airflow of a mesh jacket, the Elite Shirt is nevertheless significantly more airy than any touring textile, no matter how sophisticated. Especially as the Bowtex base layer weighs just 1,270 grams with all protectors (including chest)

Given how lightweight and unobtrusive the Bowtex Elite is, it makes you wonder why some of the premium brands of textile kit are still only rated – in some cases – to Level A under EN17092. Under a typical textile bike jacket, the Bowtex Elite is barely noticeable, yet it adds significantly to the protection offered.

It is sometimes tempting to leave your heavy biker gear behind for a for a short ride or because of the heat. But what about protection? That’s where Bowtex comes in.

Stemming from Belgium, Bowtex has made a name for itself over the years with its abrasion-resistant armored base-layers.
This time around, though, Bowtex has gone the extra length to launch an armored base-layer that’s CE-certified to the highest level of the EN 17092 standard as a protective motorcycle garment: the Bowtex Elite shirt.
