How do Rider SZN Pre-sales work? 

When you place a pre-sale order with Rider SZN, it means you are purchasing an item that is currently not available to ship. Rider SZN pre-sales are NOT "made to order". We have/are producing a specific number of units unless otherwise specified. 

When you place a pre-sale order, you're securing your item before we receive it at our warehouse. For every RiderSZN clothing drop, we produce a limited number of extra units to help with sizing exchanges once pre-orders are shipped. Please note that Rider SZN will announce our pre-sale dates only once clear customer delivery timelines are determined. 

After that, any remaining pieces may be released to the public, but there’s no guarantee your size or preferred style will be available.

We always recommend pre-ordering to lock in your size or allocation. It’s the best way to make sure you don’t miss out.

The armoured hoodie measurements below are of our hoodies when laid flat. Please note, our hoodies are a slightly oversized fit, and are in men's/unisex sizing. They are also a little longer to account for leaning forward when on the bike. 

We recommend taking one of your current hoodies and comparing the measurements below to get a best indication of fit (method 1) otherwise you can choose based on your regular hoodie size. See below for model size references to help you choose. 

METHOD 1: Compare measurements (best method)

Our chest and body measurements (laid flat) are listed below. The easiest way to choose is to compare them to one of your favourite hoodies at home.

STORM is an oversized, relaxed fit - that makes it easier to put on and take off with armour in. It has also been designed to fit based on riding position (seated) position. Please factor this in when choosing your size based on the below measurements.

 All measurements are in centimetres and have a variance of 1-2cm. 

METHOD 2: Choose your Current Hoodie Size 

Men: generally choose your usual hoodie size. If you're a size Large (AU / international sizing), we recommend a size Large in the Storm Armoured Hoodie.

Women: we usually recommend sizing down from your largest women's hoodie size. If you're typically S/M, choose S in RIDER SZN.

If you're between sizes, it comes down to preference: more fitted vs more relaxed.

METHOD 3: Contact Us!

If you're still unsure, contact us via the contact form and share your height, build and regular hoodie size. 

We created our armoured hoodie to fill a gap for those who love the street casual, hoodie look but want more than just the basics. It’s for those who want to ride to a destination whether it's a café or a restaurant without looking like they're geared up for a ride. While riding is a key part of our lives, it's not the only thing that defines us.

We believe that true confidence comes from being comfortable, and that what we wear is a reflection of who we are. Our hoodie lets you express your individuality and style, while offering the protection and features you need.

• Splash resistant outer shell (can withstand light rain) 
• Fully lined with Armortex® - an abrasian, cut and tear resistant material made with DuPont™ Kevlar® materials
• Ventilated underarm to side vents
• Waterproof lined kangaroo pocket with waterproof zipper enclosures
• SAS-tec triple flex CE Level II Armour for the Shoulders and Elbows - CE EN 1621-1-2012
• X-Kit CE Level I back armour - CE EN1621-2:2014
• Highly reflective printing - hi-vis never looked so good. 
• 3x belt loop fasteners at the sides and back

These hoodies offer greater protection than your ordinary hoodie when used correctly. They are not designed to protect from injury or death.

DuPont™ and Kevlar® are trademarks or registered trademarks of affiliates of DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

Wear information:

This armoured hoodie is designed to keep you warm as temperatures drop. For optimal protection, ensure all protectors are properly in place, with the textured side facing inward (check the markings). We recommend using the belt loop clips to secure the hoodie in place. The underarm vents can be opened to increase airflow or closed to retain heat, depending on your needs.

Care information: 

• Armoured Hoodies are washable. Turn the hoodie inside out before washing to protect design elements.
• Remove all Armour before washing. When reinserting, check the markings on the Armour—the side labeled "outside" should face outward.
• Wash by hand or on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a garment bag and wash with like colors to prevent snags from Velcro tabs.
• Wash every few wears to maintain the hoodie’s water-resistant properties.
• Hang dry only—do not expose Kevlar to direct sunlight.

📌 ICYMI: Care instructions are on the hang label and the back of the size tag.
