Product Information
Full details
The ARMR Suko 1.0 WP Motorcycle Jacket is designed for adult male riders seeking a blend of street style and functional weather protection. Its key benefit is the DRYGUARD waterproof membrane, offering reliable defense against rain while maintaining a fashionable appearance. A potential caveat for some users might be its CE A rating, which is a good baseline protection but may not suit riders requiring the highest levels of abrasion resistance. This jacket features a durable 600D Polyester Outer Shell, integrated CE Level 1 protectors at the shoulders and elbows, and practical elements like an anti-flap hood and dual pant connectors.

FAQs
What level of protection does the ARMR Suko 1.0 WP jacket offer?
The jacket is CE A rated for abrasion resistance and includes CE Level 1 protectors at the shoulders and elbows.
Is the waterproof membrane removable?
No, the DRYGUARD waterproof membrane is fixed within the jacket's construction.
Can I connect this jacket to any brand of riding pants?
The jacket features dual connection options, but full compatibility is best ensured with ARMR riding pants or jeans that have a corresponding connection system.
How should I clean the jacket?
Wipe the outer shell with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. The inner lining can be spot-cleaned. Always allow the jacket to air dry completely.
What is the purpose of the anti-flap fastener on the hood?
The anti-flap fastener is designed to secure the hood when not in use or at lower speeds, preventing it from flapping in the wind and causing noise or distraction.
Is this jacket suitable for summer riding?
While it offers protection, the fixed waterproof membrane may limit ventilation in very hot weather. It is best suited for cooler or wet conditions.
What sizes and colors are available?
This specific product guide pertains to the Black variant. Other color and size options may be available from the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Check the condition of the DRYGUARD membrane and the seams. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer shell. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or shift position
Ensure the protectors are correctly seated within their internal pockets. Adjust the fit of the jacket; if the issue persists, consider alternative protector options if compatible.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Hood flaps excessively at speed
Use the drawstring to tighten the hood opening securely around the head. For high-speed riding, it is recommended to detach or fully secure the hood using the anti-flap fastener.
