DESIGN

The Basilisk IR Jacket is designed to perform during athletic, technical riding through primarily off-road terrain in a wide range of weather conditions. It handles long transfer sections with ease and is now CE AA-rated for abrasion/slide protection. 

We took the Basilisk Jacket's proven shell performance and fit developed over the last seven years and added integrated and removable 3D RHEONā„¢ LABS body armor. This makes the Basilisk IR a waterproof, super-breathable, and now more versatile and protected ADV jacket.

At its core, RHEONā„¢ 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 RHEONā„¢ 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 RHEONā„¢ 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. The updated 3D design improves the anatomical fit and helps keep the armor in place during a crash. 

The jackets rip-stop body fabric is a highly abrasion-resistant 3L PFAS-free eVentĀ® alpineST fabric. Heat and water vapor move directly through the membrane, allowing your body to breathe freely and stay comfortable. With a 25,000mm on the water column (100 feet of water pressure), an MVTR of 20,000 g/m/d, and a DWR coating to keep you dry in wet conditions. 

We have storm flaps on all external zippers to increase the Basilisk's ability to shed water. In high abrasion areas like the shoulders and elbows, we feature SuperFabricĀ® 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 YKKĀ® Aquaguard PU-coated zippers, with bonded and seam-taped storm flapping, to maximize water resistance. 

This super comfortable jacket provides a balance of waterproofness, breathability, mobility, and protection, with a CE-AA rating for abrasion, and CE-Level 2 rating for impact protection.

KEY FEATURES

FEATURE
01
RHEONā„¢ Integrated / Removable (IR) Armor

At its core, RHEONā„¢ is an energy-absorbing superpolymer; soft and flexible in its natural state, it intelligently stiffens when subjected to force. Made to feel invisible when worn, its designed to flex to the curvature of the body for an adaptive and comfortable fit. The updated curved 3D design enhances the anatomical fit and mobility to ensure the armor stays in place during a slide. 

FEATURE
02
100% Waterproof

AlpineST is a polyolefin-based membrane from eVent that delivers dry comfort in a wide range of conditions. This PFAS-free membrane increases water-resistance by 33% compared to fluorine-based technologies, and won't clog up or contaminate with sweat and dirt after extended use.

FEATURE
03
Flow-through venting

The Basilisk jacket features flow-through vents to maximize cooling while taking on the most strenuous offroad riding in all weather conditions year round. Chest and side vents allow airflow through the torso and under arm. Arm vents add additional venting to keep you cool on every ride. 

FEATURE
04
SuperFabricĀ® Abrasion Panels

SuperFabricĀ® is created by taking a 600d polyester base fabric and infusing tiny hard guard plates into the fabric. These guard plates have small gaps between each plate, keeping the SuperFabricĀ® flexible for maximum comfort and protection.

Amazing quality and great performance

Steve Bevington
Good, probably very good, maybe great?

After using this jacket on one BDR…The redesign addressed a few things which is why I finally pulled the trigger. CE aa rating and vent orientation for example. It is unwearable for me above 85F but I run warm. I can wear it on gravel roads below 72-75F fully vented, and the vents do work especially the rear exhaust vents. Construction and design are excellent. The rust/orange color is a stain/dirt magnet. Nevertheless, I’ll just look ā€œseasonedā€ sooner than I expected. Fit is true to size over armor. Someday I’ll get caught in a rain storm, Then it’ll get 5 stars. I am using it sans integrated armor.

Too stiff and uncomfortable for adventure riding

The jacket is clearly very well made and feels extremely robust, but personally I find it too stiff, especially considering that it is designed for riders who, whenever possible, leave the pavement and ride off-road.
The main issue for me is the collar. If I leave it relatively loose, it tends to hit against the helmet strap. If I tighten it using the elastic adjustment, it ends up pressing against my throat. The material is so stiff that this becomes genuinely uncomfortable while riding.
I expected greater freedom of movement and a softer, more comfortable collar, especially for a jacket designed for adventure riding.
Overall, although I recognize the excellent build quality, I personally would not buy it again.

almost perfect

Very good impression, very good materials, very good workmanship, very good features, very good armour!
The only critisism that I have to mention here is the fact that the lower straps on the inner side of the elbow are massively hindering free arm movement. It was that much pain that I had to cut them off!

Best jacket I’ve ever owned!

Fits well, I’m a 2XL and have had some jackets fit too slim and this fits really well over a hoodie or sweater. Tons of vents in all the right spots! Lots of pockets too!
