Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure the Velcro flap is fully open and out of the way. Use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper.
Protectors feel loose or shift during riding
Utilize the adjustable elbow protector pocket system to find the optimal position. Ensure the jacket fits snugly around the arms and torso; adjust the arm and waist straps as needed.
Jacket feels too cool in moderate temperatures
Consider wearing a light thermal base layer underneath. The jacket is designed for airflow, so additional insulation may be required in cooler conditions.
Reflective strips are dirty
Gently wipe the reflective strips with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the reflective material.
