What are Motorcycle Flannels?

Motorcycle flannel shirts are specialized riding shirts designed with plaid patterns and functional features to provide real-road functionality. Unlike standard shirts, they are built with features such as armored pockets and a high-quality fabric blend of cotton and Kevlar. Biker flannels are built to offer abrasion resistance on the road while giving a casual look that offers a presentable attire. 

One of the best motorcycle flannels is the one that lets you ride comfortably and can act as a safety riding gear while giving a casual, modern look. Our Alpha Check men's armored motorcycle flannel shirt is an example of safety and a classic look that riders need off and on the road.
