Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Check seams and zippers for damage. Consider re-waterproofing the outer shell with a suitable spray. Ensure cuffs and collar are adjusted tightly.
Fit feels too loose or restrictive
Adjust the waist belts, upper arm straps, cuffs, and collar to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the thermal liner is correctly seated.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or shift during riding
Ensure the protectors are correctly positioned within their designated pockets. Adjust the fit of the jacket using the available straps to keep protectors in place.
Thermal liner is too warm
The thermal liner is fixed and not removable. For warmer weather, consider wearing lighter layers underneath or purchasing a jacket with a removable liner.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth to free it up.
