FAQs

What level of protection do the included elbow and shoulder protectors offer?

The jacket comes with CE Level 1 rated protectors for the elbows and shoulders. This rating means the maximum transmitted force must be below 18 kN, and no single value shall exceed 24 kN.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket includes a fixed thermal liner for warmth, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. For extreme cold, layering additional thermal wear underneath is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical wash, then air dry.

Can I remove the thermal liner?

No, the description states the thermal liner is fixed in place and cannot be removed.

What material is the outer shell made of?

The outer shell is constructed from Polyester 600D, known for its durability and water resistance.

Does this jacket have zip-off sleeves?

The product description does not mention zip-off sleeves; it is described as a long motorcycle jacket.

What is the purpose of the short pant connectors?

The short pant connectors allow you to securely attach the jacket to riding pants, preventing the jacket from riding up during a fall or at speed, thus providing better coverage.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to smooth its movement.

Jacket feels too tight or too loose after adjustments.

Re-adjust the waist, upper arm, and cuff straps. Ensure you are wearing the intended base layers for riding to get an accurate fit. If significantly ill-fitting, consider a different size.

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Check seams and stitching for damage. The fabric's water-repellent treatment may need reapplication. Consult the care instructions for re-waterproofing guidance.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat drying or ironing. If minor peeling occurs, do not attempt to re-adhere with heat, as it may damage the jacket further. For significant damage, consult specialized repair services.
