Flow level 2 elbow and shoulder armour
The Linesman Jacket 2.0 features the new Adventure Spec Flow level 2 armour. The elbow and shoulder armour is extremely light, flexible and breathable.
Unlike 'flat armour' alternatives, Flow shoulder and elbow armour retains its body mapped shape and stays in place while riding. It is thin, extremely comfortable and creates a feeling of confidence.
Black or Desert?
Available in a range of colours designed to work across the full Adventure Spec range. Includes the new Desert colour.
"If I lost it, or it fell apart tomorrow, I'd get another immediately."

Add Flow back armour

We suggest sizes:

Full Flow protection
Our CE certified jackets and pants are designed to walk the balance between protection, comfort and freedom of movement that adventure riders need.
When fully covered, our Flow armour packs a surprising amount of impact protection with minimal intrusion.

Wind and Splash proof

"Linesman is the most versatile and functional jacket I've ever owned. Stretch material it's made from seems so durable and it helps not to feel like you're wearing some bulk. I wore this jacket during a dual sport event called Pine Barren 300 over the course of 2 days and it performed flawlessly. "
Women's fit
Our gear is built to fit a wide range of body shapes and sizes. See how it fits a range of women sizes 10 to 18 on our dedicated Women's Fit page.

Abrasion zone protection
The outer fabric is constructed from a light, durable softshell constructed from 76% nylon, 18% Kevlar® and 6% Spandex.
The middle membrane is created with a hydrophilic PU film, offering high levels of wind resistance and some water resistance.
The inner fabric is constructed with brushed polyester 'fleece' to offer comfort when worn against the skin.
These three layers are laminated together to create one highly effective fabric, designed and manufactured by Adventure Spec.
Kevlar® is a trademark of affiliates of DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

Big vents for breathability
Chest pockets double as mesh-lined vents. Large rear side vents open for maximum cooling and work even with rucksack on.
Vents are lined by abrasion resistant mesh fabric that limits the size of the vent opening for safety.
"It is becoming the Barbour of offroad motorcyclists ! we buy it and keep it for years and possibly bequeath it to our children. I use mine for riding on my bicycle as well and would also wear it to ride my horse if I had one ! You hit the nail on the head with this garment."
