IXON Vortex 3 One-Piece Leather Suit – Perforated Race Suit for Men in Black/Green

The IXON Vortex 3 in black and green is a one-piece leather race suit that earns its place on both the track and the road every single day. CE-certified to the highest AAA class under EN 17092-2:2020, it delivers genuine racing-grade protection without sacrificing the comfort and ventilation that make extended summer riding a pleasure rather than an endurance test.

Key Features

• CE Class AAA certification to EN 17092-2:2020 — the top tier of European motorcycle suit protection
• Perforated leather panels with 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs for active airflow on warm days
• Race-close fit engineered with 4-way stretch nylon and Lycra comfort zones to maintain freedom of movement under load
• Airbag-ready design, compatible with IXON IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05 for future-proof protection
• Replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders and adjustable RACE 2.0 knee sliders for trackday confidence
• Bold black and green colourway that stands out on any modern supersport machine

Built for the Rider Who Uses It Every Week

There are race suits that live on a peg between events, and there are race suits you actually reach for. The Vortex 3 is firmly in the second category. Its perforated leather construction combined with 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs means it handles summer sportsbike riding — whether that is a quick run through the mountains or a full trackday — without turning into an oven. Lycra comfort zones and 4-way stretch nylon panels keep the leather from fighting you in corners, while the race-oriented cut naturally supports an aggressive, low riding position so the suit works with the bike rather than against it.

The removable mesh inner vest adds an extra layer of versatility, letting you tune the feel of the suit to the conditions. A neoprene comfort collar finishes the fit at the neck without chafing over long sessions, and ankle straps keep everything neat when the suit is hanging up between rides.

Ventilation for Warm-Weather Performance

IXON designed the Vortex 3 specifically for intense use in warmer conditions. Localised micro-perforations promote airflow at key areas, and the 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs work alongside them to keep air moving throughout longer sessions. This makes the suit particularly well suited to:

• Summer sport riding on open roads
• Ambitious trackdays where lap count matters
• Regular race circuit outings
• Riders who need a ventilated leather suit that still meets the highest safety standards

Even as lap times stack up and temperatures climb, the ventilation system helps maintain comfort at a level that lets you stay focused on the riding.

Protection Engineered Around Real Crashes

The Vortex 3 carries CE Class AAA certification to EN 17092-2:2020, the highest category available under current European standards. Every element of the protection package has been chosen to meet that standard with no shortcuts. The suit includes:

• BETAC Type B armour at the shoulders, elbows and knees — Level 1
• Ventilated hip protectors rated to Level 2
• Foam coccyx protector
• Double leather layer in the seat area
• Additional reinforcements at high-load zones
• Fully secured double stitching throughout
• Pockets for optional fanom® chest protectors

Airbag compatibility with the IX-AIRBAG U03, U04 and U05 vests means riders who want to step up their protection system in the future can do so without changing suits. It is a thoughtful detail that extends the long-term value of the investment considerably.

Race-Spec Details That Matter on the Road Too

IXON has loaded the Vortex 3 with practical features that prove their worth whether you are on a circuit or carving through a favourite road:

• New aerodynamic racing-style hump
• Replaceable ELBOW 2.0 elbow sliders
• Adjustable and replaceable RACE 2.0 knee sliders
• YKK main zip with self-locking slider
• Semi-self-locking zips at the wrists and calves
• Removable mesh inner vest
• Neoprene comfort collar
• Anti-slip zones at the shin area
• 0.5-litre hydration bladder docking system
• Practical ankle straps for hanging storage

Details like the YKK main zip and the hydration docking system speak to a suit that has been thought through by people who actually spend time in race suits rather than just designing them on paper.

Black/Green: A Colourway That Commands Attention

The black and green version of the Vortex 3 pairs a deep, clean base with vivid green accents that give the suit genuine visual presence on the bike. It suits modern supersport machines particularly well — the contrast reads as sharp and purposeful rather than decorative, which is exactly in keeping with what the suit is designed to do. If you want a leather suit that looks as serious as it performs, the black and green Vortex 3 makes a compelling case.
