Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Fit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have measured accurately according to the sizing chart. Consider if the thermal liner is installed, which reduces interior space. The leather will also break in slightly over time.
Ventilation is not effective enough
Ensure the Airtech vents are fully open and that there are no obstructions. Rider position and vehicle speed significantly impact airflow.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner as per product instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.
