The story

The WCL MFG zippered hoodie is a great option for those who prefer their gear to resemble casual clothing. This hoodie is fully Kevlar lined (although it is not advertised with an abrasion rating), and comes equipped with upgradable CE1 armor (I did swap the back pad out for a Level 2). This hoodie is very comfortable, although will be warm in hot/humid climates like all gear. Coupled with a cooling base layer, I have no issues riding in the GA summer. As they do not have women's specific cut/size, I ordered in a men's XL and it fits perfectly. It is a unisex/looser fit, so size down if you want it more fitted. I ordered white with the black graphics, which is bright and noticeable. The zippered version is available in grey/white, black/white, and red/white; the pullover version is available in black/white, white/black, navy/white, grey/white, and charcoal/white. They are currently $120 USD + shipping. WCL pays import/tariff fees as well. Photo is stock photo from website.
