iXS innovations
X-Stretch
The woven X-Stretch material has been specially developed to optimise performance and safety. It makes getting on your motorbike easier, offers superior comfort and allows greater freedom of movement. It is also compatible with airbag systems, which further improve protection.
Magnetic Closure System
The patented iXS Magnetic Closure (iMC) system improves the safety, comfort and handling of motorbike equipment and offers a revolutionary way to connect jackets and trousers safely and efficiently. With this system, we have been able to develop a waistband width that can be adjusted by up to 12 cm for the perfect fit – jacket and trousers are connected at the back to form a suit, while the innovative iXS Magnetic Closure (iMC) system with magnetic Fidlock quick-release fasteners ensures optimum hold at the front.
Seam slider
The seam slider developed and patented by iXS, which is incorporated into the seams of your garment, serves as an additional protective element and increases your safety.
The Venture GTX jacket in focus
No matter where your journey takes you, this jacket is the ultimate companion. Thanks to the 2-layer laminated GORE-TEX® fabric, you stay dry even in the toughest conditions, while the waterproof, windproof and breathable structure delivers maximum comfort. The innovative X-Stretch zones guarantee unrestricted freedom of movement, while SuperFabric® offers additional protection in particularly exposed areas.
With T.O.S. material inserts for even more safety, airbag compatibility and an integrated, waterproof storm hood, the Venture GTX 1.0 sets new standards in motorbike adventure. The magnetic “Self-Connect” front zip allows effortless fastening – so you can concentrate fully on the road.
