Our jackets are equipped with a pocket for the back protector. Access to this pocket can be found on the inside via the zip on the lower back (inscription: “Held Inner Security”), open the zip and then the velcro fastener of the pocket. On many models, the position or fit of the protector can be adjusted via small velcro adjustments.

If jacket and trouser sizes differ (e.g. jacket size XXL and trousers size 3XL), an adapter (connecting zip) is required. Connecting zips are available in lengths of 64 cm (up to size 58 or XXL) and 94 cm (from size 60 or 3XL). If required, you can order the connecting zip here.

Yes, all articles with plastic zip can be connected (if necessary with adapter)

Basically, the “rule of thumb” applies here; if the raised fist fits between the leather suit/jacket and the body, the eVest should be able to unfold without any problems.

Here the length of the fingers is approximately 4 mm longer or shorter.
