Vertx Firebase Hoody

The Vertx Firebase Hoody has been optimized with transitional features for when you need to change up your look with no time to spare. Specifically designed to fit under a helmet, the hoody features an IR patch for easy identification in overt applications. When low vis becomes a necessity, apply the removable organizational pocket shoulder patches or layer under a Vertx® vest or jacket to quickly reduce your visual profile. Hand pocket pass-throughs and split seams at the wrist allow you to quickly access your EDC tools and keep tabs on the time or your wrist GPS without raising suspicion. When you’re on the move, the Firebase Hoody has you covered.
