DescriptionThe whole story▼
Certified to the highest CE Class AAA rating under EN 17092-2:2020, the IXON Vortex 3 is a one-piece perforated leather race suit engineered for riders who refuse to compromise on safety. Developed in collaboration with top-level racers and informed by MotoGP-grade expertise, this men's suit delivers uncompromising protection, aerodynamic performance and genuine all-day wearability in a single precision-built package.
Key Features
- CE Class AAA certification to EN 17092-2:2020 — the highest standard available for motorcycle suits
- Airbag-compatible with IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05 for an upgraded protection system
- BETAC Type B armour at shoulders, elbows and knees, plus Level 2 vented hip protectors and a foam coccyx protector
- Localised micro-perforations from knees to shoulders and 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs for active airflow in warm conditions
- 4-way stretch nylon panels and Lycra comfort zones maintain freedom of movement in a close race fit
- Adjustable and replaceable knee sliders, replaceable elbow sliders, and anti-slip shin plates for genuine track-ready versatility
Protection You Can Rely On
The Vortex 3's safety architecture begins with its CE Class AAA certification — a classification that represents the very top of the EN 17092-2:2020 standard and places it among the most protective one-piece suits available to consumers. Every impact zone has been treated with the same rigour used in professional motorsport.
BETAC Type B armour covers the shoulders, elbows and knees at Level 1, while the hip protectors are rated Level 2 for superior energy absorption in lateral impacts. A foam coccyx protector adds a further layer of coverage at the base of the spine. Double leather layers reinforce the highest-abrasion zones — shoulders, knees, thighs and seat — and all load-bearing seams are double-stitched and secured. Pockets are built in for optional fanom® chest protectors, allowing riders to tailor the protection level to the demands of each session.
For those who want to go further still, the suit is fully airbag-ready and integrates directly with IXON's own IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05. Deploying an electronic airbag vest inside a CE Class AAA suit represents the most complete protection setup currently accessible outside professional racing.
Built for Warm-Weather Performance
The perforated construction of the Vortex 3 is purpose-engineered for summer track days and warm-weather road riding. Localised micro-perforations run continuously from the knees up to the shoulders, channelling air precisely where heat builds during hard riding. Complementing this, 3D mesh zones at the back and thighs reduce heat accumulation and keep the suit comfortable across longer sessions and high-intensity laps alike.
The Vortex 3 is the right choice for:
- Spirited summer road riding
- Track days
- Ambitious circuit sessions
- Riders seeking a vented leather one-piece that does not sacrifice protection for airflow
Ergonomics and Comfort in Detail
Wearing a race suit for extended periods demands more than a good fit — it demands intelligent construction. The Vortex 3 uses flex accordions, seamless stretch inserts and a redesigned forearm construction so that deep tuck positions remain natural and unrestrained. The aerodynamic hump, integrated racing sliders and reinforced contact zones all confirm the suit's unambiguous track focus, yet the removable mesh inner vest, neoprene comfort collar and 0.5-litre hydration pouch docking system show that IXON has considered the full riding day, not just the flying lap.
Additional comfort and usability details include:
- YKK main zip with a self-locking slider
- Anti-slip shin plates for a secure fit inside race boots
- Adjustable and replaceable knee sliders
- Replaceable elbow sliders
- 0.5-litre water bladder docking system
- Ankle straps for tidy hanging and storage
Fitment and Compatibility
The IXON Vortex 3 is a universal one-piece suit available in sizes S through 4XL and designed to fit a wide range of riders. It is compatible with IXON IX-AIRBAG vests U03, U04 and U05. No specific motorcycle make or model restriction applies — the suit is suited to any sportsbike or superbike application where a CE Class AAA perforated one-piece is required.
