Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff and restrictive.
Leather jackets require a break-in period. Wear the jacket for extended periods during light activity. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Ventilation zippers are difficult to move.
Ensure the zippers are free of debris. Gently lubricate the zipper teeth with a wax-based product or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Protectors shift during riding.
Ensure the jacket is the correct size and fits snugly. Check that the protector pockets are functioning correctly and that the protectors are seated properly within their intended pockets.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking.
Apply a quality leather conditioner immediately to restore moisture. Avoid exposing the jacket to excessive heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
