Sometimes you want to break out and do things differently. The Bandito Riding Shirt is for people who aren't afraid to go their own way. Inspired by early dirt and board track racer gear. This edgy riding shirt will stand out in a crowd and keep you protected if things go sideways!
Based on our popular California Riding Shirt, The Bandito is crafted from premium, American made, 12oz raw canvas. The black-and-white striped sleeves were specially made for Tobacco so you won't soon see anything like this. Canvas is breathable and keeps you cool when riding in the sun, while still giving you a windbreak for those cooler night rides. This lightweight jacket is made right here in California by skilled tradesmen and will last a very long time. Complete with a bandana back liner and moisture wicking sleeve liners you will love every mile you put on it.
The canvas shell is your first line of defense against harsh the grind of the pavement but the Bandito also comes with an inner lining made from Dupont™ Kevlar® It's the toughest fiber in the world and is resistant to abrasion, puncture, and heat. Plus you can add D3O® armor to your Bandito to avoid those hard knocks! Ride with the confidence that you are protected for whatever comes your way!

United StatesThis is my 3rd time purchasing from Tobacco and it won’t be my last. Customer service is great but more importantly the comfort and quality of everything I own from the gloves to the riding shirts are the best. Everything has fit well and serves as a stylish security blanket for my rides.
United StatesLooks good but no shoulder or back protection pockets. very hard to tell what armor it supports from the way the feature section is written.
United StatesThe first time I ever thanked God for clothing! My son dumped his bike, and while his jacket is trashed, his body is fine! Thank you. I will be replacing it with an identical jacket.
United StatesPerfect vest; don’t know what else to say. Fits great, material is durable, zippers are stout, and the pockets are just right. Had to buy two-needed one for my son when I got mine.
United StatesI’ve been wanting the Bandito riding shirt for some time. I love the look and styling and will be wearing this in the warmer months quite often. The construction is top notch, the Kevlar is noticeable, but in no way restrictive. That said, I really wish it had a pocket in the back for armor. The elbow pockets are great and I can live without the shoulder armor, but for whatever reason, maybe because all my other jackets have the back protector, I feel a bit exposed wearing this on anything but leisure rides. Perhaps that’s the point, but if I had a magic wand, it’s the only bit I’d change.
United StatesI love the Bandito riding shirt. I wear it every time I get on the bike. You can’t beat the look! Inside lining is also very cool. Pockets are massive. Very comfortable to wear and easy to get armor in. Definitely feel protected with it on. Could wear it all day.
United StatesSuper cool jacket. Yes, jacket. I’ve been eyeing this for a while. Love it!
United StatesI've been eying this for a while. It was out of my size. My wife got this for me for Xmas, along with two Tobacco flannels. Top quality and style on each. I honestly think that the Bandito is a steal with the level of craftsmanship, being made in the USA, and its high style. Fit is perfect. Great company and great gear.
United StatesAwesome jacket
United StatesGreat look. It’s light enough to wear in hot weather. Only gripe is at this price point, you would expect the thread for the armor pockets on the sleeve to match the corresponding colors of the (striped) sleeves.
