Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure the flap behind the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until smooth.
Fit feels too loose or tight after adjustments
Re-adjust the snap cuff, arm, and waist snaps. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers for the intended riding conditions. Consider if an optional back protector might affect fit.
Reflective strips appear faded or damaged
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods. If damage is significant, consult the manufacturer for repair or replacement options, though this is typically not covered under standard warranty.
