When we started this project we knew what we didn’t like about integrated jackets. Bulky hanging liners; chunky, stiff protection; and the heat that armored jackets add. Removing the hanging liner in favor of bonded armor pockets was simple enough, but finding armor that met our demands was going to be the key to delivering a product we believed in.
To meet our demands Mosko Moto partnered with RHEON™ LABS. At its core, RHEON™ 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 elements that make RHEON™ different 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. RHEON™ Armor is protection that doesn’t feel like protection at all; it is lightweight, comfortable, and cool.
In addition to its integrated CE Level-2 protection, the included armor pads are easily removable, converting the jacket to a lighter-weight and more packable shell for use with separate body armor.
The Boundary Jacket is constructed using waterproof, breathable 3-layer eVent™ material. eVent's proprietary Direct Venting™ technology allows heat and water vapor to move directly through the air-permeable membrane, letting your body breathe freely and stay comfortable in a wide range of conditions. To keep you dry the material features a 30,000mm on the water column, an MVTR of 10,000 g/m/d, .06cfm air permeability, and C0 DWR. That sounds like a lot of jargon, but the bottom line is the air permeability makes a world of difference in staying comfortable when riding in warmer temperatures.
The face fabric is a 500d stretch Cordura™ nylon for superior abrasion resistance and ease of movement. In high abrasion areas like the shoulders, back, and elbows, SuperFabric™ ceramic platelets on 600D polyester overlays add strength. With double-layer fabric, you can crash repeatedly and still stay dry.
Our zippers are top-of-the-line water-resistant YKK™ Vislon Aquaguard: unlike PU coated zips, they won't clog with dust and grime, and will remain easy to operate over the life of the garment.
For storage, there are two external chest pockets, two hand pockets, and two drop-in cargo pockets. The chest pockets double as air intakes with flow-through vents on the back. Additional airflow can be created by opening up the forearm vents or snapping back the collar and securing with snaps for maximum airflow.
The Boundary IR Jacket is a robust ADV-focused jacket for those who venture out for the long haul. It is waterproof, breathable, has high visibility reflective trims, stretch comfort, RHEON™ class-defining CE Level-2 protection, and a Class AA CE certification.
