Casual riding hoodies are off-bike lifestyle layers, not protective kit.
None of these hoodies carry an EN 17092 abrasion rating or hold CE Level 1 or CE Level 2 armour, so treat them as off-bike wear or as a mid-layer under a rated jacket. The decision comes down to closure style, fabric weight and fit.
| Style | Closure | Fabric weight guide | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leatt zip hoodie | Full-length front zip | Heavyweight, around 300 to 340 gsm | Layering on and off over a tee |
| AS COLOUR Supply pullover | Over the head | Heavyweight, around 300 to 340 gsm | Warmth and a clean blank canvas |
| AS COLOUR Relax pullover | Over the head | Mid to heavyweight, around 280 to 320 gsm | A roomier, relaxed everyday fit |
Fabric weight decides warmth.
A heavyweight fleece around 300 to 340 gsm traps far more heat than a 180 gsm summer tee, and brushed-back fleece adds softness against the skin. A typical cotton-rich blend sits near 80 percent cotton and 20 percent polyester, which keeps shrinkage low, usually under 5 percent after a 30 degree wash. For winter riding, add a base layer underneath and a rated jacket over the top.
Fit follows intended use.
The Relax cut runs roomier through the body for an oversized look, while a standard cut sits closer for a trimmer line. Sizes span 5 steps from S, M, L and XL through to XXL across both brands. A zip front layers on and off over a tee faster than a pullover and vents at the chest, while a pullover has fewer seams and a cleaner front. Ribbed cuffs around 5 to 7 cm deep help seal cold air out at the wrist.
Frequently asked questions
Are casual hoodies safe to ride in?
No. These Leatt and AS COLOUR hoodies are off-bike lifestyle wear with no EN 17092 abrasion rating and no CE Level 1 or CE Level 2 armour. Wear a rated jacket for on-bike protection and use a hoodie as a mid-layer underneath in cold weather.
What fabric weight should I look for?
Heavier fleece holds more warmth. A heavyweight cotton-blend fleece around 300 to 340 gsm traps far more heat than a 180 gsm summer tee, while brushed-back fleece stays soft against the skin for everyday off-bike comfort.
Should I pick a zip or pullover hoodie?
A full-zip Leatt hoodie layers on and off over a tee fast and vents at the chest, which suits changing temperatures. A pullover like the AS COLOUR Supply or Relax has fewer seams and a cleaner front, and the Relax cut runs roomier for an oversized fit.
