Armor Ready
- Garments that bear this icon accept VANSON
body armor. Our armor is designed to fit in our jackets, pants and suits
between the lining and the leather to provide an additional layer of protection
between you and the road. Access to the VELCRO® brand closure fields that
hold the armor in place in the jackets is through the zipper in the lining
above the waistband in the small of the back. Access on the pants is through
the unattached lining at the fly area. All jackets with this icon accept
shoulder and elbow/forearm armor as well as spine protectors. All pants
with this icon accept hip and knee armor. For information on how to install
and adjust your body armor CLICK

SOFT ARMOR
We offer two different styles of armor. Our Street Armor
consists of dual density, closed-cell foam, designed to absorb impact,
softening the blow should you contact the ground. This armor is infinitely
adjustable for shape via VELCRO® brand closure "wings" and placement via VELCRO® brand
closure fields in the impact zones. Our Street Armor is the most flexible
and least noticeable option for added protection between you and the road.

Many models of Jackets and Pants
have an access zipper for installing the optional Armor.

HARD ARMOR
The latest development in our Grand Prix Armor is the race-bred Floating Armor System (F.A.S., Patent Pending). This system features a moveable sandwich of materials including dual density foam and formed thermo-plastic shells. It is designed to absorb impact energy and disperse it over a wider area for maximum protection while allowing a wide range movement and comfort. Standard equipment in our professional roadrace suits, each piece of armor, larger and more effective than the previous generation GP armor, is attached via a sturdy elastic harness which Velcros to the garment and allows the outer shell to move independently of your body, increasing both safety for comfort. This armor is available for roadrace
suits and all jackets with the Armor-Ready icon. Available in one size
only.

THE VANSON BACK PAD
 The
VANSON back pad is available in multiple sizes, each of which consists
of thermal plastic scales riveted to dual density foam. The back pad attaches inside the jacket via Velcro ® tabs, one on the liner in the small of the back and the other attached to a triangular elastic panel at the back of the jacket collar. The connection of this panel and the backpad via industrial grade Velcro ® allows
for solid attachment while maintaining the integrity of fit through
a wide range of movement by distributing the weight of the backpad
(10 oz.) across the shoulders and away from the neckline. In our
roadrace suits and our technical jackets, seen in Chapter 3, we take
this concept one step further by fixing the top of the backpad to
two elastic straps which drop down from the shoulder seams, distributing
the weight of the pad much like the straps of a backpack. Our armor
fits wherever you see this icon. Our three scale pad fits in men's
jackets up to size 38 and most women's jackets. The four scale backpad
fits in men's sizes from 40-50 and the five scale fits in sizes 52
and above. Six and seven scale pads are available to fit in our professional
roadrace suits, as well as a strap-on back pad for use with other
garments.
