Inspired by the traditional Japanese hanten jacket, the NORU Hanten Armored Riding Shirt blends everyday comfort with rider-focused protection. Much like the flannel shirts worn by Western workers, the hanten became known for its balance of warmth, durability, and casual versatility. NORU carries that same spirit forward with a riding shirt designed for cool-weather rides, daily commutes, and laid-back miles. 

Constructed from hand-washed 100% cotton check-pattern fabric, the Hanten delivers a soft, broken-in feel with reinforced Aramid panels in key impact zones including the shoulders, elbows, and back. CE-certified Armanox armor at the shoulders and elbows adds lightweight impact protection without compromising comfort or mobility. A snap-front design backed by a full-length zipper helps keep the shirt secure while riding, while mesh lining and wrist vent zippers improve airflow when temperatures rise. Finished with multiple storage pockets and a compartment for optional back armor, the Hanten combines timeless styling with practical riding functionality.
