Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight with thermal liner
Ensure the thermal liner is correctly installed and that you have selected the appropriate jacket size. Leather jackets often have a break-in period; wear it around the house with the liner to help it stretch slightly.
Armor feels uncomfortable or shifts during riding
Verify that the D3O armor is seated properly in its pockets and that the hook-and-loop fasteners (if present) are secured. Consider if an upgrade to a different D3O protector might offer a better fit.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like wax or a specialized zipper spray) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. This will restore moisture and suppleness to the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Armor Check: Ensure D3O armor is correctly positioned in the designated pockets at the shoulders, elbows, and back. The armor can be removed for cleaning or upgrading.
- Lining Insertion/Removal: To insert or remove the thermal lining, unzip it from the main jacket lining and carefully align it with the jacket's internal attachment points.
Compatibility:
- Armor Upgrades: The jacket is designed to accommodate upgraded D3O back protectors (e.g., D3O Viper series) for enhanced spinal protection. Ensure any upgrade is compatible with the jacket's internal pocket size.
- Sizing: Refer to the brand's specific size chart to ensure the correct fit, considering that leather jackets should be snug but not restrictive, especially when wearing the thermal liner.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a quality leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply conditioner evenly and buff off any excess.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not fold or store in plastic, as this can prevent the leather from breathing.
