The Crossover
The Crossover
The Crossover, a lightweight over-the-head model with maximum chest protection designed for riders who prefer to wear an external pack. This vest is the lightest and most ventilated TekVest available, with narrow shoulders for maximum freedom of movement and extensive load-bearing ability that allows for heavier packs while minimizing load shifting.
The Crossover is designed to fit a wide array of backpacks, including avalanche backpacks, and can be worn over or under a jacket. It features a neck brace-ready design, and the option to accept standard TekVest shoulder pads for added protection.
This vest is purpose-built for snowmobile, ADV, enduro, and ATV riders who like to wear backpacks. It works well with avalanche backpacks, and the over-the-head style eliminates the need for zippers. The Crossover is perfect for riders that spend a fair amount of time standing, including mountain snowmobilers, freeriders, back-country boondockers, enduro riders, and fast ATV woods riders.
With its extensive side, shoulder, and frontal coverage, enhanced chest protection, and maximum cooling, The Crossover provides riders with the ultimate 360-degree protection while allowing for more freedom of movement. The rear armor foam panel can be removed to increase air flow while wearing a backpack, and the traditional TekVest UHMW plastic back panel is retained with added ventilation and raised profile top to further improve air flow.
