Thoughts on armoured shirts/hoodies

Bought a one piece underwear style suit from Knox years ago on a deep discount from one of the shops going out of business.
I had to move it into jackets and pants, as the underwear was European cut. i.e. very short, and narrow waisted.

I wear what is essentially a kevlar shirt most of the summer. I own a mesh/textile jacket with armour but never where it because:

-The armor would easily push out of the way so I see little value in it
-in my eyes, a few large solid panels should hold up better then a couple dozen small solid and mesh panels sewn together
-The plaid kevlar shirt looks casual when I get off the bike so I'm more likely to wear it (prior I often wore no protection if going to work, on vacation, too hot, etc.)

speed and strength. just went to royal to get something that I could wear on an airplane comfortably when going on a trip and trying to minimize luggage needs. I tried on all the similar stuff in Royal on clearance before the trip and the speed and strength happened to fit the best and had minimal patches/writing etc.
