The Vertx ElementFlex Hardshell Jacket (SKU VTX8890) is a technical 3.5-layer rain shell engineered for dynamic movement in extreme weather conditions, replacing noisy and rigid traditional rain jackets with a silent, 4-way stretch hardshell.
Key Features & Highlights
3.5-Layer Weather Protection: Fully taped interior seams combined with a 3.5L laminate fabric construction that completely blocks wind and heavy rain while remaining highly breathable.
37.5® Active Cooling Technology: Integrated active particle lining works with your natural microclimate to accelerate moisture evaporation and regulate core temperature during high exertion.
Quiet 4-Way Stretch: Built with a noise-reducing composite shell that stretches freely during dynamic movement without binding across the shoulders or back.
Ventilation & Thermal Control: Features 16-inch underarm pit zips and a YKK AquaGuard two-way front zipper for rapid heat dump and airflow management.
Stowable Articulated Hood: Adjustable hood rolls away into the collar when not in use and is shaped to preserve peripheral vision when deployed.
Tactical Storage & CCW Access: Includes high-mounted angled hand pockets (accessible while wearing a backpack belt or duty rig), dual 7-inch sleeve pockets, and loop patch panels for ID or morale patches.
Weather-Sealed Fit: Curved drop-back hem sheds water clear of your waistband, paired with fitted elastic wrist cuffs to keep out wind and drive-by rain.
It is Vertx's top-tier, low-profile hardshell option for operators and users who need complete waterproof protection without sacrificing mobility, temperature control, or stealth.
