Menswear company Westport created a new Motorcycle Overshirt -- a lightweight and [protective garment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket) for any type of riding.

Despite the jacket's casual look, it is one of the safest jackets on the market. Made with an [100oz Condura denim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-bandits-midtown-denim-jacket) with the brand's classic SEESMART armor built into the elbows and shoulders. The tough material is blended with a PWR shield knit in all of the critical areas, such as the chest. This rugged new jacket is disguised as a classic overshirt or dress shirt, hiding the technical properties with style.

With a chic collar and a button-front closure, the new Motorcycle Overshirt by Westport offers maximum protection without diminishing style. The Motorcycle Overshirt from Westport is available online now for $299.
