Built on a durable and abrasion-resistant 600D poly fabric chassis, the Shift Avenger features proprietary CE rated armor in the shoulders and elbows. There is also a 10mm foam back pad that can be upgraded to a CE back protector for added safety. Inset within the 600D chassis are strategically placed mesh panels, along each shoulder and down the mid-section and an exhaust at the top of the back of the neck. There are also rubberized air scoops on the shoulders so with the quilted thermal vest liner removed, you can flow plenty of air and stay cool in the hot weather. When it is chillier out, put the thermal vest in, add a base layer, and you can stretch the seasonality to the colder months of the year. Finally, Stylish rubberized Shift logos adorn the upper arm of each sleeve.
For comfort, the Avenger features accordion stretch panels on the backs of each elbow in addition to large panels that start at the back of the shoulder and wrap under the arm for extreme comfort in the riding position, with this jacket being cut and articulated for the 3/4 or tucked riding position.
