Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the jacket regularly for short periods to allow it to mold to your body shape. Conditioning the leather can also help soften it.
Zippers are difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper track.
Protectors feel out of place
Check that the D3O protectors are correctly seated within their designated internal pockets and that any Velcro or snap closures securing them are fastened.
Jacket is too warm or too cool
Adjust the Airtech ventilation. Remove or attach the thermal lining as needed. Consider wearing appropriate base layers for colder conditions.
