FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for everyday riding in all weather conditions?
The Missile v3 Airflow Leather Jacket is optimized for performance and airflow in warmer conditions. While it offers protection, it is not waterproof and may be too warm for cold or wet weather without additional layering.
How do I know if the Tech-Air® 7x Airbag System is installed correctly?
The jacket will have indicator lights and internal connectors for the Tech-Air® system. Please refer to the specific user manual for the Tech-Air® 7x Airbag System for detailed installation and verification steps.
Can I remove the shoulder and elbow protectors?
Yes, the Nucleon PLASMA Pro Level 2 armor in the shoulders and elbows is designed to be removable, allowing for easier cleaning or replacement.
What is the difference between Tech-Air® Ready and Tech-Air® Compatible?
Tech-Air® Ready means the jacket has internal wiring and mounting points for the airbag system. Tech-Air® Compatible means it can integrate with a specific airbag system, like the 7x model, often requiring additional components.
How should I clean the TPU protectors?
The TPU protectors can typically be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are dry before reinserting them into the jacket.
What size should I order for the best fit?
Refer to the Alpinestars sizing chart and measure your chest, waist, and arm length accurately. Consider wearing the type of clothing you would typically wear under the jacket when measuring.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. Leather jackets may require a break-in period to conform to your body shape. Consult the sizing guide for accurate measurements before purchase.
Zippers are difficult to operate.
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) to improve smoothness. Do not force the zipper.
Armor feels uncomfortable or shifts.
Verify that the armor is correctly seated within its designated pockets. Ensure the jacket fits properly; armor placement can be affected by jacket size and fit. Adjustments may be needed if the jacket is too loose.
Exterior leather shows signs of drying or cracking.
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. This helps restore moisture and suppleness to the leather. Ensure the jacket is not exposed to prolonged heat or direct sunlight.
