Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive during riding.
Ensure the jacket is the correct size and that all adjustment points (waist, cuffs) are properly set. Check if the thermal liner is installed, as its removal can increase flexibility. Verify that the polyamide stretch panels are not bunched up.
Water leaks through zippers or seams.
Check the integrity of the 2L waterproof membrane and the zippers. Ensure zippers are fully closed. For persistent leaks, consider using a seam sealer or waterproof spray designed for technical apparel.
Armor feels uncomfortable or shifts during impact.
Confirm that the CE-certified armor is correctly positioned within its designated pockets and that the jacket fits snugly. If using upgraded protectors, ensure they are compatible and properly seated.
Ventilation panels are not effective.
Ensure the ventilation zippers are fully open and that the panels are not obstructed by clothing or debris. Check for any blockages within the ventilation channels.
