Cortech · Jackets
The Cortech Shadow AX Jacket is a motorcycle riding jacket built with a modern street-ready look and technical construction for riders who prioritize comfort and protection. Its AX® Laredo chassis is paired with AX® Billy overlays at the elbows and shoulders, while Cordura® 4-way stretch panels under the arms and along the sides help riders move naturally in a riding posture.
For changing conditions, the jacket uses a balanced vent layout with hidden intake and exhaust vents, and it includes a removable thermal vest liner. Details like a removable hood with a hidden magnetic keeper, reflective elements, and multiple pocket options round out a versatile setup for everyday rides.
Comfort
The Shadow AX Jacket is built around a premium AX® Laredo chassis, designed for abrasion resistance. For added durability in key areas, it adds AX® Billy overlays at the elbows and shoulders. To keep the fit comfortable during movement on and off the bike, Cordura® 4-way stretch panels are placed under the arms and along the sides.
Ventilation
Integrated 3M Scotchlite™ reflective elements are used to improve low-light visibility. Storage includes dual chest vent/pockets, a waterproof neoprene phone pocket, and a Napoleon pocket, along with an Ideal® Mag-Zip magnetic front zipper for gloved use.
Construction
Hidden chest, shoulder, bicep, and rear exhaust vents for optimal airflow. Removable thermal vest liner for warmth in colder conditions. Dual chest vent/pockets, waterproof neoprene phone pocket, and Napoleon pocket.
Comfort
To support a modern riding posture without feeling restrictive, the Shadow AX Jacket combines pre-curved sleeves and a rolled shoulder fit with stretch where it matters most. Cordura® 4-way stretch panels are positioned under the arms and along the sides to help the jacket move with the rider during reach and body shifts. This approach keeps the technical chassis feeling more natural through everyday riding and off-bike movement.
Ventilation
Vent placement is spread across the jacket to encourage airflow without changing the street-focused appearance. Hidden vents are used at the chest, shoulders, and biceps, while rear exhaust vents help move air out. Together, this layout is intended to promote consistent airflow across a range of speeds and conditions, and it pairs well with the removable thermal vest liner when the ride turns cooler.
