FAQs

What is D3O® technology?

D3O® is a special non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible in its relaxed state but locks together and absorbs impact energy when a force is applied, providing excellent protection.

Can I wear a neck brace with this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is specifically designed to accommodate most standard neck braces.

How do I wash the jacket?

Remove the D3O® armor inserts and machine wash the jacket on a cold, gentle cycle. Hang dry.

What level of protection do the elbow and shoulder pads offer?

The elbow and shoulder protectors are CE EN1621-1 level 1 certified.

What level of protection does the back protector offer?

The central back protector is CE EN1621-2 level 2 certified, offering a high level of impact protection for the spine.

Is the jacket suitable for everyday cycling?

While offering great protection, the jacket is primarily designed for more aggressive riding disciplines like motocross and downhill mountain biking due to its armor coverage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the elastic straps. The D3O® inserts will become more flexible with body heat and wear.

Armor inserts are uncomfortable or bunching

Remove and re-seat the D3O® inserts to ensure they are correctly positioned within their pockets. Wear the jacket for a short period to allow the inserts to conform to your body shape.

Jacket is not breathable enough

Ensure ventilation zones are not obstructed. For extremely hot conditions, consider layering with lighter, moisture-wicking base layers. Clean the jacket regularly as dirt can impede fabric performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure the D3O® inserts are properly seated within their designated pockets. Adjust the YKK front zipper and elastic straps for a snug yet comfortable fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed to work with most neck braces. The form-fitting nature also means it can be worn comfortably under jerseys or outer shells. Verify that any additional protective gear worn alongside it does not interfere with its function or fit.
