Find out more about the creative process behind our jackets and why they will make your everyday life on two wheels never the same again.
VEST PARIS, a pioneering brand
INVENTIVE CITI (and now VEST PARIS) was the first brand to identify this need and finally provide an answer. Since our creation, we have often been copied, never equaled, and remain THE benchmark.
Over the years, our models have been continually improved, our technologies have progressed and today, VEST PARIS models are undoubtedly the most elegant safety jackets on the market.
VEST PARIS, a different approach
If VEST PARIS stands out on the market, it is because our teams have been able to identify user needs and, above all, the precise order of these needs.
For example, an urban executive will prioritize elegance over security because he first needs to be well-groomed in his professional and private settings.
Let's list their 4 search criteria in order of customer requests.
1st criterion: elegance
Elegance shouldn't be sacrificed for safety. Commuting is a brief moment that requires protection, but the gear we wear to protect ourselves shouldn't dictate our look and comfort for the day.
2nd criterion: security
He needs to be protected from traffic hazards. That is, to be visible and to be safe if he falls or has an accident.
3rd criterion: protection against climatic elements
The user needs to be protected from the climatic elements such as rain, wind, cold and heat.
4th criterion: functional clothing
His clothing must be designed to facilitate his movements as much as possible when he is on his two-wheeler.
The promises of VEST PARIS
Once you have established these specifications while respecting the order of the search criteria, VEST PARIS and its collection of technical jackets becomes obvious.
1- Your elegance, our priority
Since its creation, VEST PARIS has paid particular attention to the aesthetics of its technical clothing. It is even THE priority criterion!
Our stylistic bias is to offer the most stripped-down design by hiding all features. It is essential that the customer feels comfortable and desirable in their garment.
That's why our design team is made up exclusively of stylists from major luxury houses: Valentino, Nina Ricci and Tom Ford.
2 - Your safety, our obsession
At VEST PARIS, we have managed to integrate motorcycle security so discreet that you can't see it or feel it.
This is what sets us apart from the competition, which regularly displays reflective strips and incorporates heavy, rigid and uncomfortable motorcycle protection.
Riding a two-wheeler means finding yourself on dangerous roads that can turn into an ice rink, and running the risk of falling or having a traffic accident. Safety is a key aspect of our technical jackets.
This is ensured by the presence of CE-standard motorcycle protectors on the shoulders, elbows and back. These inserts are removable and optional. These protectors supplied by the German manufacturer SAS TEC are invisible to the naked eye and are not felt because they are so thin.
We also invented the principle of reversible sleeve tabs incorporating reflective strips. Either you show them off to increase your visibility when you are on the two-wheeler, or to hide them once you get off your machine.
3 - Protecting yourself from the elements, an obligation
VEST PARIS integrates PRO membranes into each of its jackets, commonly used in active sports and high-performance specialist clothing.
Rain and wind
With a performance level of at least 10,000 /10,000 , the membrane used by VEST PARIS fully protects you from rain and cold wind. The level of protection is optimal and exposure can be repeated intensively.
Our jacket is even considered a "wall" by those who have been using it every day on their motorcycle or scooter for years.
Insulation
Riding a two-wheeler means being exposed to sometimes freezing temperatures.
The V1 and V2 models (exclusively) include a removable lining equipped with 120 gram THERMORE wadding to provide protection against the cold down to -10 degrees without you feeling cramped in your garment.
The heat
This is another advantage of our jackets.
The lining is removable, so the jacket can be worn in warmer weather. The membrane allows for great breathability, and its technology will prevent you from sweating.
4 - Making your journeys easier, our promise
Having your legs free to get on or off your scooter, having a collar that goes up high when it's cold, having a light jacket that doesn't tire you out, having large pockets closed by a zip, secure, accessible and waterproof etc. the technical jackets from VEST PARIS have thought of everything and anticipated everything.
You will be as comfortable outside as on your two-wheeler.
