Safety Features

Built to protect. Designed to disappear.

Most riders know they should wear proper gear. Most riders also know they don't wear it every single day. That gap — between knowing and doing — is exactly what SquidWorX was built to close.

Every piece we make looks like regular streetwear. Under the surface, it's engineered to keep you upright and intact when things go wrong.

 

 

CE Level 2 Impact Armour

Our hoodies come fitted with CE Level 2 certified impact protectors at the elbows and shoulders — the two points most likely to take impact in an off. The armour sits inside dedicated internal pockets, completely hidden from the outside. You'd never know it was there. That's the point.

 

CE Level 2 is the highest impact protection rating available for motorcycle gear. It requires armour to be independently tested and proven to transmit less than 9 kilonewtons of force on average — that's the same standard used in professional racing gear. We don't cut corners on the thing that matters most.

 

Abrasion Resistance

Skin meets asphalt at speed and asphalt wins. Every time. The shoulder and forearm zones on our hoodies are reinforced with abrasion-resistant fabric panels designed to handle slide contact — the kind of impact a regular cotton hoodie shreds through in under a second.

We're not claiming leather-level abrasion protection. We're giving you something real in the zones a regular hoodie gives you nothing.

 

Modular Armour System

The armour inserts are fully removable. Pull them out for washing, put them back before you ride. No tools, no fuss, thirty seconds. The hoodie works without them — it just works better with them in.

 

Rider-Specific Cut

Gear that doesn't fit a riding position isn't really gear. The Signature Armour Hoodie is cut longer at the back so it stays tucked when you're leaned forward on the bike. The elbows are articulated so the fabric moves with your arms rather than pulling against them. Off the bike it sits like a normal hoodie. On the bike it actually fits.

 

What we don't claim

We'll be straight with you. This is not a replacement for full leathers on a track day, a long highway run, or anywhere you're pushing speed. Full protective gear exists for a reason and we respect it.

 

What we've built is the best option for the ride you're actually taking — the commute, the coffee run, the quick Sunday loop. The ride where you'd otherwise throw on a regular hoodie and hope nothing happens.

 

Now you don't have to hope.
