How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart, paying close attention to chest measurements and waist. It's recommended to try the jacket on if possible, or ensure adequate space for base layers and potential armor.

Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to smooth the action.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the thermal liner is removed if not needed. Wear thinner base layers. Leather jackets often require a break-in period; wear the jacket for short periods to allow it to mold to your body.
Interior lining feels damp
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If the exterior is wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Check ventilation openings are not blocked.
Armor is uncomfortable or shifts during riding
Verify the armor is correctly seated in its pockets. Ensure the jacket is the right size and fit. Consider if an upgraded, more form-fitting D3O protector might be suitable.
