FAQs

What is CE Class AA rating?

CE Class AA is a safety rating for protective motorcycle garments, indicating a high level of abrasion resistance and durability according to European standards.

How do I clean the Armourlite Pro Wax fabric?

The jacket should be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Ensure it's hung to dry away from direct heat.

Can I remove the waterproof membrane?

No, the Dry2Dry waterproof membrane is a fixed liner and cannot be removed.

Is this jacket suitable for hot weather?

The jacket has ventilation zippers to allow airflow. While it can be used in warmer weather with vents open and the thermal gilet removed, its primary design includes waterproof and protective layers which may be warmer than a dedicated summer jacket.

How do I adjust the collar fit?

The collar features a press stud adjuster that allows you to tighten or loosen the fit around the neck for improved comfort and wind protection.

What type of motorcycle is this jacket best suited for?

The jacket's tailored longer length rear and design features make it particularly well-suited for upright riding positions on standard motorcycles or adventure bikes.

Are the elbow and shoulder protectors adjustable?

The CE Level 2 protectors are located in dedicated pockets within the jacket. While they offer certified protection, they are not typically adjustable in position beyond their intended placement.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite Dry2Dry membrane

Ensure all zipper seams are fully closed and waterproof. Check for any damage to the membrane or fabric. Consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric.

Zipper malfunction

Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Use a zipper lubricant (like graphite or wax) to help them slide smoothly. Avoid forcing stuck zippers.

Reduced breathability

The Dry2Dry membrane can become less effective if clogged with dirt or residue. Gently clean the inner and outer surfaces of the jacket. Ensure the vents are open and clear.

Thermal gilet doesn't fit correctly

Ensure the gilet is aligned with the internal zip and attachment points. Check that no exterior clothing is interfering with the fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of abrasion resistance exceeding CE Class AA standards.
  • Waterproof and breathable Dry2Dry membrane for effective weather protection.
  • CE Level 2 impact protection at critical points.
  • Versatile for different weather conditions with a removable thermal liner.
  • Low maintenance compared to traditional waxed cotton.
  • Designed for comfort during upright riding.

Cons

  • May not be ideal for aggressive sport riding positions due to tailoring.
  • Fixed waterproof membrane means it cannot be removed for maximum airflow in very hot, dry conditions.
  • While durable, extensive abrasion could eventually wear the Pro Wax finish.
  • Specific care instructions for the Pro Wax fabric should be followed to maintain performance.
  • Sizing may require careful consideration for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket comes ready to wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before riding. The removable thermal gilet can be zipped in or out using the internal zip system to adjust insulation levels.

Care:

  1. Washing: Close all zippers and fastenings. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
  2. Drying: Hang dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear to maintain the performance of the Armourlite Pro Wax fabric and the Dry2Dry membrane. Follow the product's specific instructions.
  4. Protectors: CE Level 2 protectors should be removed before washing. Inspect protectors regularly for signs of damage.
