330 GSM heavyweight fleece
An 80/20 cotton-polyester outer gives Core the structure and hand of substantial premium streetwear instead of a lightweight athletic sweatshirt.

Motorcycle gear without the look
Built for the ride.
Designed for after.
Most protective motorcycle gear announces itself the second you walk through a door. Core takes a different approach: start with the shape, weight and feel of premium casual apparel, then design riding-focused construction underneath it.
The result is an armor-ready, aramid-lined motorcycle hoodie intended for riders who want one piece that makes sense on the bike and still feels natural at a restaurant, at work or walking through the city.
Core construction
What makes Core
more than a hoodie.
Abrasion-resistant aramid lining
An integrated aramid layer sits beneath the casual outer shell to add abrasion resistance where an ordinary cotton hoodie offers little protection.
Armor-ready construction
Integrated shoulder and elbow armor pockets allow riders to choose compatible protection and tune the balance between coverage, comfort and everyday wearability.
YKK hardware
Core uses dependable YKK hardware and restrained detailing selected for durability rather than decoration.
Northline Core is in pre-production. Final materials, protective configuration, armor compatibility and specifications are subject to production validation and will be published before fulfillment.
Why a motorcycle riding hoodie?
Protection shouldn't require
changing when you arrive.
A motorcycle hoodie occupies the space between ordinary casual clothing and a conventional riding jacket. For Northline, the point isn't to disguise a race jacket as streetwear. It's to design a casual garment from the beginning around the realities of riding: abrasion-resistant construction, provisions for impact armor, durable hardware and a fit that works in motion.
The Core lineup
Four colors.
Two silhouettes.
Core is planned in Pullover and Full-Zip versions across Black, Light Heather Grey, Olive and Navy.
