FAQs
Does this jacket come with a back protector?
The jacket comes with a dedicated internal pocket, but the D3O Viper back protector is sold separately.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is designed for airflow and breathability, and it does not have a waterproof liner.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the specific sizing provided for the 2XL or other variants, ensuring you measure your chest and waist while wearing your typical riding base layers.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Due to the extensive mesh paneling, this jacket is not suitable for winter as it provides no insulation against the cold.
Are the armor pieces removable?
Yes, the CE Level 2 Armanox shoulder and elbow protectors can be removed for cleaning the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels too loose at high speeds
Adjust the bicep and forearm straps to ensure the armor stays securely in place against your joints.
Zipper feels stiff
Check for debris or dirt caught in the YKK zipper teeth and clean with a dry brush.
Armor feels misaligned
Adjust the internal pocket position if possible, or tighten the adjustment straps to pull the sleeve closer to the body.
Pros and Cons

- Durable and reliable YKK zipper components

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety, always verify that the pre-fitted Armanox protectors are centered over your joints before tightening the forearm and bicep straps. If you choose to install a D3O Viper back protector, ensure it is firmly seated in the dedicated interior pocket. Because the jacket features a fixed mesh lining, it is best to wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to improve comfort. For care, keep the jacket clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth; for deeper cleaning, follow the manufacturer's guidance on using mild detergents to protect the integrity of the mesh weave and synthetic polyester materials. Always inspect the zippers and Velcro straps for debris to maintain smooth operation.
