Review: MBR - 100% Tarka Protection Vest

MBR reviewed the 100% Tarka Vest. Here is what they had to say:

Weight: 780g | Size: S – XXL | Colours: Black | Women’s Version: No | Contact: silverfish-uk.com | Score: 9 /10

Like the Leatt 3DF vest, the 100% Tarka has both front and back protection panels, and also like the 3DF it comes in three versions; vest, short sleeve and long sleeve. 

The seriously chunky padding, which gives the back panel segment a CE 1621-2 motorbike certification protection level, has large holes which allows for a cooling air flow. These panels are also removable so the vest itself can be washed. 

It has an off-set full-length zipper plus an elastic waistband which we found was effective in preventing the vest from riding up. The fit is comfortably snug, despite being described as a ‘compressive’ fit, so you don’t feel squeezed while wearing it. 

Despite providing a serious amount of cover all around the body, the 100% Tarka vest doesn’t feel restrictive when riding, nor bulky. It’s comfortable, and comes in at a great price for the finish quality and protection offered.
