- Skull Riderz Mesh Flannel Shirt and Jacket is the subject today. Skull Riderz is the company you normally see advertising on Instagram and Facebook. Last year I reviewed their standard Flannel Riding Shirt, this year its the Mesh version. How does it do?

Yeah, yeah, the mesh looks good and all, but can we talk about how GREAT that V-Rod sounds? Nice review man!
Considering what time of year is coming, I'll probably wait till spring to get the mesh, I have been thinking about it though. Even the regular flannel seems to flow pretty good air.
Yea the regular does a good job too on the airflow. This one is def more mid summer
I've been eyeing one of their mesh flannel shirts (the blue color looks dope), but it's getting to be fall/winter riding season. Maybe before next summer!
Yea this review is basically good for our Australian friends approaching their summer haha
@@ChopperFett haha always a man of the people chop!
Always protect your jolly rodgers in any situation lol
Good review, the flannel looks great!
Always always haha!
Nice review man, it looks really good too!
Might have to look into something like that, now that we’re into our warmer months now. ✌️🇦🇺
Haha yea I realized my posting isn’t great timing for the US market but wanted to give it lots of use before reviewing.
Looks cool ! ….but
Call me old school …haha, I have yet to get in with the flannel look yet.
Guess I am stuck in my ways with my riding vest. Been this was since the 80’s.
Cheers
Haha nothing wrong with that man!
That is a good-looking flannel, Brett! Oooooh Kevlar lining even-sweet! Jolly Rogers? 😀😀😀😀
Gotta protect them!
That looks really good!
I have a RevIt mesh one, I love it.
I don’t want to sound like your dad but you should wear a back protector, from all of those; that is probably the most important one when it comes to absorbing hits. With that said, I hope you never need it.
I appreciate it but that would make dad a hypocrite haha. It’s a risk for sure
I have Scorpion EXO flannel with armor ND my only concern is the snaps coming undone in an off. That said this looks like a great mesh flannel.
So far, and with my original flannel, the snaps have held up really well. I’d you don’t see it snapped in a video of mine it’s pure laziness haha
IDK about this review. I need one done in texas in 100F weather. To see how "cool" it is
I use it up here where we get 100 degree days all the time. It’s hotter than wearing no gear but I still would grab this and ride in the Texas heat. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the review, I like the regular flannel (and hoodie). I had no idea they had a mesh. I may grab one for next summer. I keep the back protector in. :)
I should keep the protector in. I talked to them and they said the upgraded armor is thinner and less noticeable on the back so I might order a set.
You'll need it with that GoPro blocking your vision. Lol
This may end up in my closet someday...still waiting for more stimulus money lol.
Jolly Roger? Ooohhhh myyyy lol.
Good, objective review!
Hahah thanks. I think they have other designs too if I’m not mistaken
Yup, great review! I'm still a huge fan of the Bohn Body Armor, but that looks pretty awesome too!!
Yea I saw y’all wearing those. I like those as it looks like you could even put them on as a base layer and wear whatever on top.
@@ChopperFett I've done that a lot. Cool mornings,I'll put a liner over it, in the afternoon, just wear the mesh shirt!
Good review.. i have like 5 of then on mesh.. might have to see about the mesh
For a gear person like myself it’s needed. It’s weird it adds a false confidence having a jacket on lol.
What size t shirt do you wear if you dont mind me asking.
Lol I am ordering a heated flannel for my Christmas gift. It was 45 degrees when I left for Thunder Beach.
Ohhhhh heated flannel!!!! I’m intrigued!!!
Hey ...Thanks’ for sharing I always enjoy your videos with thumbs up for my support…Keep well & stay safe
Appreciate that man. Your riding season should be starting up soon?
Is this really any cooler than a good mesh jacket? I get the stealth appeal of it, but as someone that has several mesh jackets, I'm wondering if it's worth the investment.
In all honesty most of the Kevlar mesh jackets will be similar, I just happen to like the flannel design. Def worth an investment in safety
Nice review! Might have to look at these maybe a gift for hubby lol! Always have to protect the Jolly Rogers 🤣🤣🤣
Hahah he’d look good in one!!
Excellent video.. Thanks for sharing dear friend, greetings from Indonesia
Thank you so much and welcome!
I've been eyeing these so this was helpful!
For sure man! Wonder if they’ll discount with winter coming?
Cool stuff! Your editing it's getting next level!
Trying to do some new things to keep the eyes on the video haha
Nice looking jacket. I have to update my flannel jacket. So this one might be on the cards.
Very nice. I was really skeptical with their reviews seeming staged but they are actual user submitted I think.
Thanks for the review! Because of your review I ordered one and just got it delivered today! I am excited to try it out in the near future. I am in Spring Hill, KS
Awesome!!!! I frequent k&m a lot lol. Enjoy this heat! Hit me up on IG if you ever wanna ride (fairly limited with household but nice to get out occasionally lol)
Kansas here too
Glad you got yours. I guess the company has gone down hill. Mine has been sitting in Pakistan waiting to ship for 7 weeks.
The added padding and kevlar are really good items to have. I wish though a flannel company would put on waterproof coating so help shed light rains.
Thatd make a lot of sense. The pockets on the front are built that way
The only way to waterproof mesh is to throw a rain jacket over it.
I've seen these around. Cool idea and it seems decent enough. Not my style though, but thats ok.
For sure, I think these fit the Dyna Bro mold more than anything hahah. They do have some hoodies I think I’ll try this winter.
Did you choose to size one size higher to accommodate CE pads - or did you keep your street clothing size since it's a more relaxed fit? Cheers ride safe
So I really just used their size chart. I’m a big guy so my rev clothes I like to be like 5x and this was a 4XT and I still have room to spare inside it. Now for Regular size folks they do say to size up. REGULAR LENGTH SHIRTS(Heights up to 190cm) Choose one size up
Wow that does look awesome! I love the fact it is mesh but does not look it, is cool....... HaHa yes you must protect the "jewels" lol ok the jolly rodgers.
I have a mesh HD jacket and can put armour inside it also, but I haven't yet, I do love the mesh for hot days. It was a great investment for sure. Ummm your bike sounds awesome!!!
nice review, love all the great camera angles, I know you put a lot of work into the editing. this shirt/jacket is exactly what I was looking for. need something when just a little chilly but not enough for a full jacket
I hear ya. I needed something that would breathe a bit better than their standard Kevlar flannel and this is it. I wear this one from mids 60s up and the regular flannel down to about 50. Appreciate the feedback!!
Need to protect the Jolly Roger!
Now you need to have a Jolly Roger sticker. hehe
Idea for the next year hahaaha
Great scenery I appreciated this video👍☀️🌿
I hope we will be good friends all the time.
ChopperFett The Mesh Flannel Jacket looks good on you.
Thank you so much!!
Great review brother. Big thumbs up. Catch you later
Thanks as always good sir.
Cool… bulletproof flannel. Wait… isn’t flannel for pyjamas? That way your Jolly Roger would also be bulletproof.
Hahah I’m gonna make Kevlar lined underroos
@@ChopperFett did you just use the word UnderRoo in a motorcycle video? You are my hero!!!!!! ❤️
You always do a through review Brett. Thanks.👍🏻😎
Thanks man I appreciate that
Great review bro. Do you own the Skull Riders Flannel as well we the mesh one? If so how does it feel in hot weather?
I do. The regular flannel is actually pretty adequate in warm temps. I wore it up to 95 degrees F and never complained about it being too hot. It’s def warmer than the mesh
@@ChopperFett The regular flannel is from Skull Riders?
Do the collars snap down?
I recently ordered two of the mesh-flannels(one for my wife :) ) from Skull Riderz. Its only been a couple of days and I already got shipping notification. Nice review, the shirt(s) is going to be great for summer riding 👍
Awesome!!! I really do love mine. I feel “safer” knowing there is Kevlar and armor in there. Won’t save me at 80mph but might survive with less injuries on my normal rides. This had been my morbid comment for the day hahah.
@@ChopperFett I just feel better riding with gear...but I'm not expecting it to save from my stupid-ness either 😉 I have a Street & Steel Armored flannel(probably made in the same factory as Skull Riderz). Its nice piece of gear for cool temps but it has no air flow and will cook me in the heat.
@@painsrides3616 the mesh will still cook you if you aren’t moving lol. But get moving and it’s like wearing nothing
nice Chopper !!! hope your out chasing today !!! its really nice up north. enjoy the day.
It has been nice mixed with rain. Hoping the sun comes out later today.
nice Chopper!!! were getting pounded today , hope the trail finds you on something today
Nice. Makes a good Christmas wishlist item.
Indeed it would actually!
looks good, I'm always looking for a light weight riding jacket
Looking into getting one since my riding jacket is so hot in the summer
I’m going to check them out now lol hat you put them on my radar. Great review!
Might have to snag me one for next season.
It is quite comfortable man. Probably feel pretty good with those mountain temps.
Still liking it?
Yes sir very much actually! Well; I haven’t used it much the past couple months but by April it’ll be my daily again.
Hey Chopperfett, did you upgrade the armor or keep what comes with it?
Hey Andrew. They sent me the level 1 armor which I’m not a big fan of. The level 2 stuff is great though, I just got it in and it feels like nothing is there.
@@ChopperFett thanks man! I’m going to order the mesh one soon and I’ll upgrade to the lvl 2. Thanks for video review, ride on!
Hello ChopperFett, thanks again for another informative and honest review, I have been looking to get one of these Mesh Flannel Shirts and will definitely be getting one for my riding gear collection soon along with one of their armored flannels as well. Ride Safe and I'll see you on the dark side!
What is your height and weight?
6’2” around 350
Looks pretty nice!
Thanks man! I know gear ain’t for all but this is like a hybrid for me haha
LOOKS good on you!! 👍👍🤟
Thanks bruddah man
Mesh flannel, what a concept.
Yep and I think their hoodie is gonna be my next purchase.
@@ChopperFett hmmm, looks like a great blend of warm and safety, but not too hot.
Great review Brett.
Thanks Larry!
I like it! Fancy assssss!
Looking good buddy!
Thanks man I appreciate that.
Good review 👍
Very much appreciated
looks proper!
Thanks man
Good looking jacket/shirt, I always worry with these shirts (and when I get a harley I will have one) that in the wind it'll be blowing around everywhere but the weight seems to keep it in place 👍
The V Rod is looking good too buddy 😎👍
Looks kinda like the riding flannel I wear now…except the mesh. The one thing I hate about buying something like this online is sizing. And while you say it runs big….I always prefer to try things on. Good video bro!!
Yea it does look very similar. Ever since I got mine in I noticed a few people in similar styles haha.
@@ChopperFett that’s always the way it seems…even when I buy a new car…see more and more of en
