Motorcycling is all about looking ahead. Once on the road looking ahead is to be taken literally, though before departure, preparation is still the main thing. Being prepared for pretty much anything’s made easy with the versatile Vertical GTX pants. Ready to go touring and take on any type of weather without breaking the bank.

It’s looking up with Vertical GTX

• Laminated GORE-TEX brings breathable waterproofing to the fore to keep you comfortable. Safe from water penetrating, while perspiration is allowed to pass on out, taking care of the most obvious challenge you might come across in multi-season riding. Staying warm or cooling down when needed comes courtesy of the detachable thermal liner. Protection is another challenge, checked off with CE-level 1 SEESMART hip protection and CE-level 2 SEESLEX knee armor – adjustable for comfort and effective positioning for safety.

Proper preparation prevents poor performance

• But whatever external obstacles on your travels, keeping body and mind focused and fresh is easily overlooked. With flexibility-enhancing, strategically incorporated PWR|Shell stretch fabric, adjustable fit at the waist, calves, and the ankles, the Vertical GTX pants are definitely punching above their weight to keep you going. Proper preparation will always prevent poor performance, but with the Vertical GTX pants, you’re ready regardless.

SEEFLEX CE-level 2 protection

• Certified CE-level 2 according to the norm EN1621-1:2012, the SEEFLEX protector is an innovative creation from the in-house R&D department. The norm also tests the impact levels in various +/- temperature ranges. The SEEFLEX protectors easily surpass the norm without sacrificing wearer comfort. Because of its open-structure composition, they’re breathable and allow air to easily pass through; helping to prevent the rider from building up an unnecessary heat.

SEESMART hip protectors

• SEESMART protectors offer the highest level of flexibility while still passing the EN 1621-1:2012 CE-Level 1 impact tests, in both normal and hot (T+) conditions.

Detachable thermal liner (pants)

• For the days (or mornings) when the temperatures are lower, the thermal liner adds warmth to a cold day. Or should you start the day off in a warm valley and end up atop a mountain, you can stay comfortable regardless of setting. It also allows for multi-season versatility so your garment can stretch its use across different seasons. It can easily be taken out or put back in within a matter of moments.

Adjustable knee protectors

• The adjustable knee protection pockets allow you to tailor the CE-rated knee protection to different heights to perfectly fit your body for optimal comfort while riding.

Short and long connection zipper

• The long connection zipper is designed to create a 360-degree connection between jackets and trouser, while the short connection zipper on the membrane ensures that the membrane stays in place. The inclusion of these zippers are designed to stop the jacket from riding up the rider’s back, and/or to prevent the exposure of unnecessary skin; helping to keep you safe on the road in the event of an unfortunate mishap.

2L GORE-TEX fabric

• This means that the lining inside is separate and can move freely. The result is improved wearing comfort and versatility and means that the membrane can be used with insulation. Since it is a GORE-TEX product, it is backed by the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY promise, offering waterproofing and breathability so you can keep riding.

3L GORE-TEX fabric

• This 3-Layer GORE-TEX fabric consists of a membrane bonded to a recycled, solution-dyed polyester knit backer adding durability and a carefully selected face textile. The outer face textile is treated with a PFC-free DWR treatment. The innovative new GORE-TEX membrane is based on expanded Polyethylene (ePE). This membrane is light, thin yet strong and enables durable waterproof, windproof and breathable performance. It is PFC-free and has a reduced carbon footprint (per Higg MSI) achieved by its lower material mass along with a new material combination.

FIT

Slim fit

• The Slim fit is designed to enhance the body's natural physique, creating a sleek and sophisticated look. It features a closer cut that is more tailored and slenderer, emphasizing specific areas of the body. Despite its slimmer profile, the Slim fit still provides ample comfort and freedom of movement where it's needed.
