SHOULDER & ELBOW VanTech F.A.S. (Floating-Armor System) STANDARDIcon indicates garment comes with VanTech CE ARMOR as standard feature.VanTech ARMOR is CE rated. Smaller shapes allow a flexible fit..F.A.S. ARMOR is designed to have controlledouter shell. This is to prevent the armor from restricting the ridersmovement while maintaining a tight fit. ::NOTE::CE RATING is the European Community Standard for motorcycle garment armor.
BRVI -- BACKPAD REMOVABLE VELCRO INSERTIcon 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.
STREAMLINER COMPATIBLEThere 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"

In 2012 we began to produce Vanson AR2 jackets with armor. This was such a successful update to the AR2 that we made it a style of its own and called it the AR3.

Taking all the great features of the AR2 as a base we added some room to the shoulders and the back, to allow backpad and shoulder-armor installation without compromising the flexible fit of the jacket. We built this jacket with wide, substantial inside leather facings for anchoring the inside pocket and keeping the lining away from any potential wear points.For greater wind protection without adding bulk and keeping a good collar height, we lined the collar with long-lasting rayon. Then, to allow the collar to either be fully sealed, or snapped open without anything loose flapping in the wind, we extended the collar and added snaps. We also started the front zipper a few inches up from the bottom so the jacket would splay out slightly, increasing comfort for the rider. Then we moved the wrist zippers to the inseam so that when elbow/forearm armor is installed there is no conflict with the top of the wrist zipper. For installing or adjusting the armor there is a zipper in the center back seam of the lining.

This update is just the latest in the 40 years since the Type A jacket family was first designed. To appreciate how years of firsthand riding experience, re-engineering and refinement lead to the AR3, you can read about the first Vanson leather motorcycle jacket here. Built to last for 40 years and beyond. Thats how we do it at Vanson.
