Bowtex OPTIMAL motorcycle vest - LEVEL AA
BOW197819-001
€249.00
Bowtex, specialist in technical motorcycle underwear, offers you the OPTIMAL underjacket.
Designed to be incredibly light and virtually invisible under ordinary clothing, it allows you to ride in your own clothes and keep your style.
When temperatures rise, wear it as such, without any other jacket, thanks to its CE level AA approval.
It offers a basic level of protection while allowing you to wear whatever you like over it. And because it's so compact, you can simply fold it up and stow it in your backpack or panniers once you've reached your destination!
CONSTRUCTION:
- Main layer: UHMWPE (high molecular density polyethylene) fiber, a highly abrasion-resistant material
- Secondary layer: Polyamide and Elastane
SAFETY:
- Level 1 SAS-TEC®-approved elbow and shoulder protection: ultra-lightweight protection that adapts to your body shape while providing optimum support. Can be upgraded to optional level 2 protectors
- Slot for a B52 (level 1) or B52-2 (level 2) back protector, sold separately
- Reinforced seams
- CE level AA EN17092-3:2020 certified jacket
COMFORT:
- Thin, lightweight fabric for exceptional comfort in an AA-certified jacket
- Lightweight and breathable, it's perfect for everyday use and for tucking under any everyday garment
- Compact, it can easily be stored in your backpack or side panniers when you reach your destination
- Designed to be worn as a jacket or undershirt
- Lighter and more flexible than a motorcycle jacket in a similar category
- Drag-tested, designed and engineered by bikers
- Entirely made in Europe
