SHOULDER & ELBOW VanTech CE Level 2 Armor included....Icon indicates garment comes with VanTech CE ARMOR as standard feature.
BRVI -- BACKPAD REMOVABLE VELCRO INSERT....Icon indicates the BRVI to support the back pad is in place inside the coat.BRVI supports the backpad from the shoulder areas and thus the backpadhangs down the back of the garment - fully supported on both sides - in thesame manner as a backpack on a hiker. This prevents the center back of thecollar from being pulled down.. ....::NOTE::....The BRVI can support both the GP backpad or the VanTech CE rated backpad.
RAM A.I.R. sleeve vents are a patented design....There is usually one vent in each sleeve..Closure is by a waterproof nylon coil zipper. This design places the ventfacing forward at the inner elbow - so that when unzipped thevent bows outwards and scoops air into the sleeve and up the arm.....Our unique design feature is that the open vent is bridged by a perforatedmaterial that keeps the shape of the sleeve - so the sleeve does notgrow - bag and billow in the wind. This retains the elbow protection of thesleeve in the proper location - while also allowing substancial forcedventilation up the arm to the torso of the rider.
AIR CURTAIN VENT.... This is a patented vent system that allows the riderto open or close an <> stitched into the front lining panelsof the garment. This design has the outline of the vent top-stitchedthrough the outer shell.....The AirCurtain is made of waterproof coated nylon - so when closed the ventis sealed. This Air Curtain may be opened a little or a lot - making theventilation adjustable.....This design is ideal for allowing full frontal graphics without compromisingthe ventilation capabilities of the garment.
REAR EXIT VENTS....Usually two zippered vents in rear of garment close to the underarm area.....Vents are zippered closed.....OR - a single rear vent across the back.....Rear vents are necessary to allow air to flow from a front venting sourceover the rider and out the back so as to prevent ballooning of the garment.
ADJUSTABLE WAISTBAND....Icon indicates garment has adjustable waistband for enhanced fit flexibilityGarments with this feature offer +/- 2 inches of adjustability at thewaist area. The exact amount will vary from style to style.This is available in both Jackets and Pants.
3-WAY WAIST ZIPPERS JACKET TO PANTS CONNECTION....3 short molded nylon zippers allow a JACKET + PANT zip-together combinationwhile also allowing adjustable waistbands on either or both the pants andjacket....These zippers are set into spandex stretch panels - which have a<< stop stretch >> insert to control the amount of separation and movementbetween the jacket and the pants.....The Connectors come standard with pants featuring this icon - and are alsoavailable as replacement parts.
STREET + TRACK COMBINATION STYLES.... Styles that are designed to becustom-made into European style street-riding suits. There are made witha full circumference waist zipper for racing suit integrity. By combiningselected styles with different features it is possbile to create a veryflexible and purpose-focused suit. With this concept you can mix-and-matchjackets and pants to match daily conditions.
STREAMLINER COMPATIBLE....There are two possible attachments for the STREAMLINER. One type is asnap-in - the other type is zip-in. The zip-in type has two zippers alongthe center front facings of a jacket.....THE STREAMLINER is a universal insulated removeable liner. It hasremovable sleeves and lace-adjustable sides. It is reversible - with ahi-visibility safety yellow interior. Insulation is a special Tyvek materialReflective strips cross the interior - so when reversed the garment is bothhi-visibility yellow and reflective.Download the Fit Chart"

You're a sportrider, you're serious, you're not into flash (at least not for its own sake). You like to fly - but prefer to do so under the radar. You keep a low profile - except that when you're riding at night you really want to be seen.

Here's the jacket we designed for you: the Lightning. It has all the ventilation features of the Cobra - adjustable air-curtain vents in front, ram-air sleeves - and all the safety features - armor-ready, 3-zip attachment to compatible pants. Where it diverges from the primal austerity of the Cobra is in its two-panel front, with a horizontal seam; we use that seam, as well as the shoulder and sleeve seams, to install 3M reflective piping, visible at night for a great distance. Add a reflective Vanson shoulder oval on each side, and more piping on the back and you have full circumference enhanced visibility.

In keeping with its low-profile intent, it comes in black, but other colors may be ordered. Naturally it accepts the Streamliner vest.

The conceptual design brief for this project has always been that the armor is to stay in the correct position, regardless of the attitude, altitude and speed of the rider. In practice this means that the garment has to fit properly (snugly) and not expand when, for example, vents are opened.

The armor has to be imperceptible to the rider, so that the rider can move; it has to have a little give, which is why we have the patented Floating Armor System. When the ventilation is activated the airflow mustn't distort the size and shape of the garment.

All these are lessons that come out of hard-won Road Race experience.
