FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it features a Texland Humax waterproof membrane, providing a robust barrier against rain.

Can I remove the armour?

Yes, the D3O shoulder, elbow, and back protectors are removable for cleaning or replacement.

How do I maintain the wax finish?

Apply a specialized wax dressing specifically formulated for Halley Stevensons fabrics whenever the water-repellent finish starts to diminish.

Is this jacket suitable for summer?

The jacket features ventilation points; however, it is primarily an all-season garment and may be warm in extreme summer heat.

What does CE EN17092 Class AA mean?

This is a safety standard certifying that the garment provides a high level of protection against abrasion and impact for motorcycle use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or heavy

The Cotec material is designed to soften with wear; ensure the thermal liner is installed properly and not bunched up.

Water soaking into the fabric

The waxed coating has likely worn off. Re-apply a quality motorcycle-specific wax dressing to the outer shell.

D3O armour feels uncomfortable

Check the internal armor pockets to ensure the pads are correctly aligned with your joints; use the Velcro adjusters to secure them in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight yet highly abrasion-resistant construction
  • Comprehensive D3O impact protection included
  • Versatile all-season performance with removable thermal liner
  • Classic heritage styling with modern functional upgrades
  • Excellent fit customization via drawcord waist

Cons

  • Waxed cotton material requires occasional re-waxing to maintain water repellency
  • Not suitable for machine washing
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-specific summer jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a proper fit, utilize the drawcord waist adjustment to tighten the jacket silhouette against your body, preventing wind flutter at higher speeds. For compatibility, the jacket features a built-in connection system that allows it to be zipped to compatible riding jeans, preventing the jacket from riding up in a slide. Care for the garment should be handled strictly by hand; use a cool, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Do not use detergent or soap as it will damage the waxed finish. If water repellency begins to fail, apply a dedicated wax dressing to restore the protective layer. Always remove the D3O inserts before performing any cleaning.
