My first ever body armour

Since it was my first ever body armour I put quite some time in a research, and after a thorough consideration and comparison between Leatt, Fox, TLD and Dharco, I leaned towards Dharco and didn't regret it. It does take a bit of adjustment for a feel of it but after like 5 minutes you forget it is on. Moisture wickering is amazing! I also like the fact that the back panel can be removed and placed in a backpack water reservoir compartment. Overall, amazing product. Would definitely recommend! Ride safe people!

The quality very good. The fit is excellent. I am 5’8’ 175Ibs. Medium is just right. It fits nicely under my DHARCO shirts. You have good movement on the bike.
Highly recommend.

Comfy

Pros: Fits great and it's really comfortable due to the flexibility of the pads. Nice full coverage on the shoulders compared to my Leatt shirt. I often ride in plus 30C temps and was concerned about the breathability but it seems pretty good so far. The open holes on the pads really help to get the air through especially on the chest. Shirt seems very well put together and stretches a lot without tearing the seams when taking it off. I also like that you can remove all the pads to wash it or ride without some if you want to lighten it up.
Cons: No zipper. After working up a sweat it can be challenging to get it off. I found reaching back and grabbing the back pad and pulling it over my head to be the best way. The shirt will stretch a lot doing this and most I've had will start to tear but this one is amazingly strong so far and hasn't been an issue. A zipper would be nice to make it much easier to get out of though.

I can't speak to the protection effectiveness since I haven’t tested that yet🤞🏼

IT'S WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS

Born out of NASA research, RHEON™ is an energy-absorbing super polymer 15 years in the making.

Why RHEON™?

Because it’s not just innovative—it’s better.

While other pads force you to trade comfort for safety, this super polymer redefines the balance - offering top-tier safety and the freedom to move.

How it Works?

At it’s core RHEON™ is about energy control.

When an impact occurs, energy doesn’t disappear - it’s transferred. Instead of allowing that energy to reach your body RHEON™ absorbs it effectively, dissipating it through the material.

Why is it BETTER?

Game-changing safety vs comfort.
Flexible, light, and more breathable.
Recyclable for a more sustainable future.
