Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try removing the thermal liner to create more space. Consider the upgradeable D3O protectors, as some lighter variants might offer a slimmer profile.
Ventilation is insufficient
Open all Airtech controllable ventilation zippers fully. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the airflow. The removable thermal lining might need to be taken out in very warm conditions.
Leather shows signs of dryness or cracking
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle jackets. Follow the product's instructions carefully and avoid over-application. Store the jacket properly away from heat sources.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
