Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Fit feels too tight in shoulders or arms
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If minor tightness, wearing lighter layers underneath may help. Consider if the sport fit is suitable for your preferred riding posture. Check if the removable thermal liner is installed, as its removal might offer more room.
Jacket feels cold in cooler weather
Ensure the removable thermal vest is installed. For additional warmth, wear appropriate thermal base layers underneath the jacket.
Poor ventilation on warmer days
Ensure the perforated leather inserts are not obstructed. Consider removing the thermal liner if not already done. For extreme heat, the jacket's leather construction may limit airflow compared to textile jackets.
