Full details
The ARMR Suko 1.0 WP Motorcycle Jacket is designed for adult male riders seeking a blend of street style and robust weather protection. Its key benefit is the integrated DRYGUARD waterproof membrane, ensuring dryness in challenging conditions, coupled with CE A-rated protection. A potential caveat for some users might be the fixed nature of the waterproof membrane, which could affect breathability in very hot, dry weather.

FAQs
Is the back protector included with the jacket?
No, the back protector is sold separately. The jacket has a pocket for a compatible back protector.
Can I remove the waterproof membrane?
The DRYGUARD waterproof membrane is fixed and cannot be removed.
How do I clean the jacket?
Hand wash in cool water with mild soap. Do not bleach, dry clean, or tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat.
What does 'CE A rated' mean?
CE A rating (EN 17092-4:2020) signifies that the garment meets specific abrasion resistance and impact protection standards for motorcycle apparel.
How does the hood stay secure?
The hood features a drawstring for adjustable tightness and an anti-flap fastener to prevent it from flapping in the wind while riding.
Can I connect this jacket to any riding pants?
The jacket has a short pant zip connector and jean loop connectors. Compatibility depends on the features of your riding pants.
Is this jacket suitable for hot weather?
While it has a mesh lining for some breathability, the fixed waterproof membrane may limit airflow in very hot conditions. It is best suited for mild to cool and wet weather.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite waterproof membrane
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the placket behind the main zip is correctly positioned. Check cuffs for proper closure. Consider if the garment has been subjected to prolonged submersion or extreme wear, which may affect membrane integrity over time.
Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable
Ensure the jacket is the correct size and fit. Break-in the jacket with regular wear. Check that internal protectors are correctly seated and not causing undue pressure points.
Hood is flapping excessively at speed
Secure the drawstring fully and ensure the anti-flap fastener is engaged correctly to keep the hood taut.
Zippers are difficult to operate
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Use a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil on the zipper teeth to improve glide. Do not force the zipper.
