FAQs
What is D3O® Impact Protection?
D3O® is a special intelligent material that is flexible and soft in its natural state but locks together on impact to absorb and dissipate energy, instantly returning to its flexible state. This provides superior impact protection without compromising comfort or mobility.
Is this jacket suitable for all types of cycling?
The jacket is primarily designed for high-impact cycling disciplines like downhill mountain biking, motocross, and enduro, where robust protection is paramount. It can also be used for aggressive trail riding.
How do I wash the chest guard?
Remove the D3O® armor inserts first. Hand wash the jacket with mild detergent in cold water. Air dry only; do not machine wash or dry.
Can I wear a hydration pack over this jacket?
Yes, the jacket's design is intended to be worn under riding jerseys or outer layers. It should be compatible with most standard hydration packs worn over it, though fit may vary.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for chest circumference and compare it with your measurements. The jacket has a form-fitting stretch design, so accurate measurement is key for optimal comfort and protection.
Are the armor inserts CE certified?
Yes, the jacket features CE EN1621-2 level 2 central back protection and CE EN1621-1 level 1 elbow, shoulder, and chest protectors, indicating certified safety standards.
Can this jacket be worn with a neck brace?
Yes, the jacket is specifically designed to accommodate a neck brace, allowing for integration with other protective equipment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Adjust the elastic side straps for a looser fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consult the sizing chart if necessary. The D3O® foam will conform to your body over time with wear.
Armor inserts are uncomfortable
Ensure the inserts are correctly seated in their pockets and that the jacket is worn smoothly against the skin. The D3O® foam is designed to soften and conform with body heat.
Jacket is not drying properly
Ensure the jacket is hung in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods. Make sure all armor inserts have been removed before washing and drying.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris.
