FAQs
Can I wear the waterproof liner separately?
Yes, the 3L GORE-TEX waterproof liner is designed to be detached and worn as a standalone jacket in wet conditions.
What type of back and chest protectors are compatible?
The jacket is prepared for SEESOFT CE-level 1 two-piece chest protectors and the SEESOFT Level 2 back protector - type RV.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX liner?
Hand wash the GORE-TEX liner separately in lukewarm water using a specialized technical wash or mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, with the detachable thermal liner installed, the jacket provides warmth for colder temperatures. For extreme cold, layering beneath is also possible.
How effective is the ventilation system?
The jacket features VCS (Ventilation Control System) panels on the front, multiple zippers on the arms and back, and a main front zipper that reveals a mesh panel, offering substantial airflow when opened.
What materials is the outer shell made of?
The outer shell is constructed from abrasion-resistant textile, designed for durability and protection.
Does the jacket come with protectors included?
The jacket comes with CE-Level 2 protection at the shoulders and elbows. The back and chest protectors are prepared for SEESOFT protectors, which must be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too warm even with vents open
Remove the thermal liner. If still warm, ensure the GORE-TEX liner is not installed or is also removed. Maximize airflow by opening all ventilation zippers and the main front zipper.
Water is leaking through the jacket
Check that the waterproof GORE-TEX liner is correctly installed and fully zipped. Inspect the liner and outer shell for any damage or tears. Ensure all zippers are properly closed.
Fit feels restrictive with liners installed
Adjust the fit using the adjustment straps at the waist and arms. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The Defender 3 GTX is designed to accommodate layers, so some initial bulk is expected.
Armor feels uncomfortable or shifts during ride
Ensure the armor pockets are correctly aligned and that the protectors are seated properly. Adjust the Velcro straps on the elbow and shoulder protector pockets if available. Check that the jacket size is appropriate.
