Default Cordura shell for road riding over armour

Ok, latest thing I need

I'm looking for a thin cordura shell, unarmoured to go over body armour. I've seen enduro jackets which are not cordura, then there's cordura jackets which are essentially normal jackets and I guess I could remove the armour. Don't want mesh.

I need it for a trip this summer which is mainly off road (well on unsurfaced roads) but which has some reasonable tarmac stretches. Ive done the riding tarmac with a non-cordura top over amrour before and havent felt exactly comfortable.

Any ideas Ive drawn a blank, other than the standard enduro jackets and I have one of them,and the non-abrasion resistant MX jackets.

You could try one of the military surplus type shops, or indeed a walking hiking type place both do gortex/ cordura stuff, just buy a size or two up from your normal ?

Just a guess.
