Mosko Moto Launches Their Own Line Of Armor For ADV Riders

New stand-alone, breathable ‘Phase CE-2’ armor designed for multi-day ADV trips.

Published on 10.13.2025

Mosko Moto is expanding their technical gear portfolio with the release of a new line of innovative gear—body armor tailored specifically for adventure and dual sport riders. Designed to deliver lightweight, breathable protection with all-day comfort, the new Phase CE-2 collection reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to rider-focused design.

For years, Mosko has championed a modular approach to rider protection: standalone body armor worn beneath an abrasion resistant, waterproof shell. This configuration ensures the armor remains fixed at key impact zones, reducing the risk of displacement during a crash. It also enables riders to remove the jacket in high-heat, off-road environments while maintaining full impact protection—an advantage over integrated armor systems.

However, traditional stand-alone ‘motocross-style’ armor, while protective, often falls short for adventure riders covering longer distances. It’s typically built for track use or short-duration races, relying on rigid shell protectors that lack flexibility and ventilation. Thick straps can dig into the skin over time, making extended wear uncomfortable.

Mosko’s new Phase CE-2 armor line addresses these shortcomings with a minimalist, low-profile design that prioritizes airflow and mobility. The collection includes elbow sleeves, knee guards, and hip-pad shorts—all featuring a compression fit that eliminates the need for bulky straps. At the heart of each piece is RHEON technology: a flexible superpolymer that intelligently stiffens on impact, offering CE Level-2 protection without sacrificing comfort.

Key Features:

  • CE Level-2 Impact Protection: Integrated into elbow sleeves, hip shorts, and knee guards.
  • Minimalist Design: Low-profile and lightweight, ideal for multi-day ADV trips.
  • Breathable Construction: Made from open mesh and moisture-wicking polyester/spandex for airflow and comfort during active riding.
  • Compression Fit: Ensures the armor stays in place without the use of straps.
  • RHEON 3D Armor Inserts: A flexible superpolymer that stiffens on impact for enhanced comfort and protection.

Currently, the Phase CE-2 lineup includes three core products—hip shorts, elbow sleeves, and knee guards—but it’s likely just the beginning. Could a chest protector or padded shorts option be next? For now, here’s what’s in the mix:

Phase CE-2 Hip Shorts

A breathable, low-profile armored short featuring CE Level-2 hip protection (yes, level-2 in the hips!). Built with open mesh and advanced armor construction, these compression shorts offer excellent airflow and comfort for long-distance rides. MSRP $119

Phase CE-2 Elbow Protectors

Streamlined and ventilated, these open mesh elbow sleeves deliver CE Level-2 protection in a minimalist design, while delivering all-day comfort on longer rides. The slip-on compression fit eliminates straps while ensuring the armor stays securely in place, even during aggressive off-road riding. MSRP $89

Phase CE-2 Knee Protectors

Designed for multi-day ADV missions, these low-profile knee sleeves feature CE Level-2 impact protection in a lightweight, breathable form. The strapless compression fit keeps them from slipping down, while the open mesh construction maximizes airflow. MSRP $109

All Phase CE-2 armor comes with a Lifetime Warranty and is covered under Mosko’s Crash Care Program if you damage the gear in a fall. For more details check out the Mosko Moto website.

My wife and I have been Adventure riders for a long time and have always had garments with integrated armor. However we tried the Phase2 Armor in June and have completely converted to these with a layering approach. Our integrated gear is now only used for quick errand runs.

If their body armor line is anything like their overpriced luggage, I can expect to keep my neighbor busy with requests to fix prematurely worn out webbing and replacing buckles. Every time I tighten the straps on the Beaver tail on my Reckless 80 system, I instinctively expect something to break. I have accessory coverage on my motorcycle, and when I lost my last dual sport to a flood, the adjuster told me that I could keep my Mosko system without affecting the overall payout, I declined and let them know that the purchase of the Reckless 80 system was one modification that I was looking forward to finally being reimbursed for.

I like the idea but they seem awful proud of a couple of spandex sleeves and a piece of foam. They lik their stuff a LOT!…they can keep it!

Do yourself a favor and check out the Super Shirt from Adventure Spec. It’s one of my favorite new pieces of kit. Keeps the armor where it needs to be, is comfortable and breathes great. Perfect for layering and allows you to think a little differently about which jacket(s) you can run. I did have the sleeves modified slightly because I didn’t love the thumb holes. I also put my own armor in it as the initial armor was too stiff. Looks like they now have better armor. CE AA protection and includes Level 2 shoulder and elbow armor.
