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

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.
