Types of Vector Garments

Vector Elite 2.1 Vest

The Vector Elite 2.1 Vest is a second generation Elite Vest that has been designed to improve athlete comfort and have improved durability for an extended lifespan.  The Vector Elite Vests enable athletes and teams to utilise the Vector Integrated Heart Rate functionality and negate the need for heart rate straps and modules.  The Vector Elite 2.1 Vest has embedded heart rate sensors and uses conductive materials to channel the heart rate signal directly to the Vector device.  

The side fixing on this vest allows the fit to be adjusted to optimise athlete comfort and prevent overstretching of the garment as it is taken on and off.  Read more about the improvements in the 2.1 vest, from the 2.0, here. 

Women's Vector Elite 2.2 Vest 

The Women's Vector Elite 2.2 Vest is a second generation Vector Elite Vest and our first designed specifically for female athletes.  The vest enables female athletes and teams to fully utilise the Vector Integrated Heart Rate functionality and negate the need for heart rate straps and modules.  Designed to be worn over a sports bra, the integrated heart rate sensors, side fixing and cut of the vest have been optimised to improve heart rate data quality and athlete comfort.   Improvements for female athletes include:

• Optimized HR sensor positions to improve heart rate signal quality
• Slimline Velcro fastener to improve fit & comfort
• Extended garment length to help ensure HR sensors reliability contact the skin
• Adjusted cut of the vest to better suit female athletes 

Vector Elite 2.3 Vest

The Vector Elite 2.3 Vest is a third generation Elite Vest that has been designed to improve accuracy and reliability of ECG-derived heart rate data.  Similar to the Vector Elite 2.1, the 2.3 vest has embedded heart rate sensors and uses conductive materials to channel the heart rate signal directly to the Vector device. However, in the Vector Elite 2.3 Vest the electrodes have been moved to the front for better connection and more optimal positioning for reading heart rate. Together with the improved algorithm it addresses previous issues experienced around an inconsistent heart rate trace (drop outs and flat lines) and erroneous overshooting of heart rate maximal recordings.

Vector Core +HR Vest

The Vector Core +HR Vest has embedded Heart Rate sensors in the front of the garment that interface with an attached Polar heart rate module. Compatible models are the Polar H1, H7, H9 or H10. There are several variants of the vest which accommodate Vector devices and PlayerTek+.

Vector Core Vest

The Vector Core Vest is a premium quality garment without any heart rate integration.  The design is optimized for athlete comfort while integrating a device pocket that will deliver high quality data.  The Vector Core Vest has two variants, one for Vector  X7/G7/S7 and one for Vector T7 devices.   

Vector Core Compression Tank

The Vector Core Compression Tank is designed as an alternative to the Catapult vests. This has been developed specially for sports and teams were there is resistance from athletes to wearing the vests and therefore using our devices. 

The Vector Core Compression Tank is a high quality, light weight compression garment constructed of nylon and spandex fabric. The design is optimized for athlete comfort while integrating a device pocket that will deliver high quality data. The device pocket has been carefully designed to make it compatible with all Vector devices, and is available in both Men’s and Women’s styles. As an extension of the Vector Core line, the Compression Tank does not have heart rate integration and requires an external heart rate monitor.
