The Basilisk IR Jacket is designed to handle the challenges of round-the-world travel and long-distance ADV trips, from athletic, technical riding through off-road terrain, to long transfer sections in a wide range of weather conditions. 

We took the Basilisk Jacket's proven shell performance and fit, developed over the last seven years, and added integrated / removable (IR) RHEON™ LABS body armor. This makes the Basilisk IR a waterproof, super-breathable, and now more versatile and protected ADV jacket.

At its core, RHEON™ armor is an energy-absorbing superpolymer. Soft and flexible in its natural state, it intelligently stiffens when subjected to force. Made to feel invisible, its designed to flex to the curvature of the body for an adaptive fit. One of the unique elements of RHEON™ is its patented algorithmic design and 3D printing process. The combination makes it both lighter, and more protective. The unique cell packing allows for better impact absorption while allowing air to flow naturally around the rider, making RHEON™ armor the most breathable protection on the market to date.

The included CE Level-2 armor pads are easily removable, allowing the jacket to convert into a lighter-weight and more packable shell for use with separate body armor. (Compared to the previous generation of non-armored Basilisk Jacket, the new integrated armored version fits the same with the pads removed, ready for use with your own separate armor.)

The jackets rip-stop body fabric is a highly abrasion-resistant eVent® Expedition 3-layer, using eVent's proprietary Direct Venting™ technology. Heat and water vapor move directly through the air-permeable membrane, allowing your body to breathe freely and stay comfortable. With a 30,000mm on the water column (100 feet of water pressure), an MVTR of 10,000 g/m/d, .06cfm air permeability, and a DWR coating to keep you dry in wet conditions. 

In high abrasion areas like the shoulders, back, and elbows, we feature SuperFabric® ceramic platelets on a 600D waterproof/breathable overlay for added strength. With double-layer fabric, you can crash repeatedly and still stay dry.

We have storm flaps on all external zippers to increase the Basilisk's ability to shed water. In high abrasion areas like the shoulders, back, and elbows, we feature Super Fabric® ceramic platelets on a 600D waterproof/breathable overlay for added strength. With double-layer fabric, you can crash repeatedly and still stay dry. The main closure front zipper is top-of-the-line water-repellent YKK Vislon Aquaguard: they won't clog with dust and grime and are easy to operate one-handed with gloves. 

There are two external hand pockets and two chest pockets, (one external, one internal), with six substantial vents placed strategically for maximum airflow. On the inside, we eliminated hanging liners entirely, reducing weight, bulk, and heat. In high abrasion areas like the shoulders and elbows, laminated patches protect the tricot lining. Vents and pockets feature water repellent reverse-coiled YKK® Aquaguard PU-coated zippers, with bonded and seam-taped storm flapping, to maximize water resistance.
