Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Belstaff Brooklands Motorcycle Jacket comes ready to wear. The D3O armor in the shoulders and elbows is pre-installed. Ensure the jacket fits comfortably before riding.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed primarily for adult male motorcycle riders. While it features integrated D3O armor, it is compatible with aftermarket back protectors (sold separately) for enhanced safety if desired.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Clean the jacket by wiping with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use cold water and a mild, neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Re-waxing: Over time, the waxed cotton may lose some of its water repellency. Re-waxing the jacket annually, or as needed, with a proprietary wax (such as Belstaff's own wax) will help maintain its performance and longevity. Follow the wax manufacturer's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a wide hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can prevent the fabric from breathing.
