FAQs
Is this hoodie waterproof?
The hoodie is not waterproof, though it does feature a dedicated waterproof interior pocket for small items like smartphones or wallets.
Can I remove the shoulder and elbow protectors?
Yes, the Nucleon Flex Plus protectors are removable, allowing you to wash the garment or replace the armor if needed.
What does 'Class A' certification mean?
Class A is a protective rating for motorcycle gear indicating the garment is designed to provide protection against abrasion and impact in a lightweight package suitable for casual riding.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is generally fixed, but it includes an attachment system to ensure it stays in place and does not interfere with your vision or comfort while riding.
Can I wear this in the winter?
This hoodie is optimized for airflow and lacks thermal lining, so it is not recommended for cold-weather riding unless layered with additional thermal gear.
Troubleshooting
Hood flapping in the wind
Use the built-in hood attachment system to secure the hood to the back of the jacket before accelerating.
Armor feels uncomfortable or misaligned
Adjust the positioning of the Nucleon Flex Plus inserts within the internal pockets to match your specific joint articulation.
Difficulty zipping the front closure
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zipper teeth and check that the inner lining is properly tucked away from the slider path.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first ride, ensure the internal armor is properly centered in the shoulder and elbow pockets. The hoodie is designed to be worn as a primary outer layer. To clean, remove the armor inserts and wash according to the manufacturer's care tag, generally opting for a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy solvents that could compromise the integrity of the protective aramidic panels. Always inspect the zippers and the hood snap after washing to ensure they are free of debris for consistent operation.
