Description
An Integral Piece of Your Cold-Weather Outfit
The Vertx® Integrity Base is the foundational piece you can rely on when building out your cold-weather kit. Its streamlined design and lightweight construction take advantage of an efficient barrier of PrimaLoft® insulation to hold chills at bay when it’s worn alone or when it integrates into the Integrity Shell and Recon Jackets for additional protection from cold and wet weather. With its water- and stain-resistant nylon shell and quiet gusseted Polartec® Hardface stretch fleece side panels, the Integrity Base Jacket won’t bind, restrict or announce your movements. Snug stretch cuffs and the zip-through polyester suede-lined collar puts the icing on the cake by effectively and comfortably sealing icy blasts on the outside. When temps are low, keep your performance high in the Integrity Base Jacket.

James –
The fit is athletic and it stretches with your normal movements due to the stretchy panels down the side.
The jacket has three pockets, two hand and one breast, which all function as you would expect.
It is also insanely good at keeping your body temperature regular – I had no issue wearing it all day and night for a recent job that took me from a cool 3°C to a much more acceptable 25°C. A
It can be used for duty while keeping a low profile, not draw unwanted attention.
Ive worn it with jeans and a polo and I’ve with suit pants and a dress shirt and pretty well everything else I have in the wardrobe, no matter what it seems to work.
Build quality is great, as you would expect from anything with the Vertx brand name.
Overall my assessment of this jacket is that it’s a no brainer. I would without hesitation buy another one if I needed it, it’s a solid investment that won’t let you down.
