Product Details
Held Prime Vest PrimaLoft Motorcycle Mid-Layer
The Held Prime Vest in Black is a lightweight insulated mid-layer designed to add warmth around the torso without the bulk of full-length insulated sleeves. Its breathable, wind-repellent and water-repellent outer fabric, PrimaLoft thermal insulation and Held Clip-in Technology make it a useful layer for cooler motorcycle journeys as well as everyday wear.
Who is it for?
This vest is for riders who want adaptable core warmth beneath a compatible Held motorcycle jacket or as a separate casual layer. Its sleeveless construction helps retain freedom of movement at the shoulders and arms. It is a comfort and insulation garment, not certified impact or abrasion protection.
