Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too warm despite mesh panels
Ensure all adjustment points are loose to maximize airflow. Check if the inner lining is fully open or removable if applicable. For extreme heat, consider that this jacket is optimized for airflow and may still reach saturation in very high temperatures.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or shift position
Utilize the adjustable elbow protector pocket system to find the optimal position. Ensure the jacket is fitted correctly using the waist, arm, and cuff adjustments. If using optional protectors, verify they are the correct size and model for the jacket.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper track with a soft brush and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to help it glide smoothly.
