Uncompromising Ergonomics and Build

The Vortex 3 is engineered with a focus on long-term rider comfort and durability. It features a soft mesh inner lining and a neoprene comfort collar to prevent chafing, while the new zippered underarm construction improves the riding position. The jacket's longevity is reinforced through local micro-perforations that protect seam integrity and the use of abrasion-resistant polymer materials on high-wear zipper zones at the arms and pockets.
