FAQs
What type of leather is used in the Avro 5 jacket?
The jacket is primarily constructed from Tutu cowhide leather, known for its high abrasion resistance and durability.
Can I wear this jacket in different weather conditions?
Yes, the jacket includes a removable thermal liner, making it adaptable for cooler weather. It also features zippered vents for warmer conditions.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a leather riding jacket and is not waterproof. For wet weather, a separate rain suit is recommended.
What kind of protection does it offer?
It comes with composite protectors on the elbows and shoulders, and it is designed to accommodate an aftermarket back protector.
How do I clean the jacket?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically. Avoid soaking the jacket or using harsh chemicals.
What does 'Microelastic 2.0' refer to?
Microelastic 2.0 is an elasticated insert technology that enhances comfort and freedom of movement without compromising the protective qualities of the leather.
Is the thermal liner wearable on its own?
Yes, the description states the removable thermal liner can be used separately, offering additional utility.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Thermal liner is difficult to attach or remove.
Ensure the main jacket zipper is fully open and that the liner's zipper is correctly aligned before attempting to zip or unzip.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle apparel. Allow it to soak in and buff off any excess.
Jacket feels restrictive after initial wear.
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the jacket for progressively longer periods to allow it to conform to your body shape. Ensure stretch panels are not impeded.
