FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket is designed for airflow and warm weather. It does not provide protection against rain.
Can I add a back protector?
The jacket comes with shoulder and elbow armor; please check the internal pocket dimensions if you wish to insert an aftermarket back protector.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The jacket should be snug, especially around the shoulders and elbows, to ensure the armor stays in place during an impact.
What does CE Level A certification mean?
It means the garment has been tested to meet specific safety standards for impact and abrasion resistance suitable for city and commuting environments.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Due to the full perforation, this jacket is not recommended for winter riding as it will not provide the necessary thermal insulation.
Troubleshooting
Armor feels stiff or uncomfortable
D3O armor is heat-activated; wear the jacket for 5-10 minutes so your body heat can soften the pads for a custom fit.
Airflow feels restricted
Ensure you are not wearing thick or non-breathable mid-layers under the jacket, which can block the perforated leather panels.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a specialized leather conditioner intended for aniline or wax-finish leathers to restore suppleness and protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, adjust the waist straps until the jacket sits snugly against your body; a loose fit can allow armor to shift during an incident. For care, avoid machine washing. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior leather, and occasionally treat the aniline wax finish with high-quality leather conditioner to prevent it from drying out. Periodically inspect the armor pockets to ensure the D3O inserts are lying flat and are not obstructed by debris or folded clothing layers.
