Yes, the jacket features Airtech controllable ventilation to help manage airflow. However, for extremely hot climates, the leather material might still retain heat compared to textile jackets.
The jacket is AA CE certified, which is a high standard for motorcycle protective clothing, indicating significant abrasion resistance and impact protection.
Yes, the jacket is designed to be compatible with upgraded D3O armor, specifically D3O Ghost or L2 protection, for enhanced safety.
Clean with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid harsh chemicals and store properly to maintain the leather's quality.
The removable lining allows you to adapt the jacket for cooler weather conditions by adding insulation. It can be removed for warmer temperatures, making the jacket more versatile.
Yes, the jacket includes a D3O back protector. The shoulder and elbow protectors are also D3O.
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your chest measurement and any additional layers you might wear. It's recommended to try the jacket on if possible, paying attention to the fit around the shoulders and torso, especially with armor inside.
Leather jackets often require a break-in period. Wear the jacket for short periods initially, and consider using a leather conditioner to help soften the material. Ensure the internal lining and armor are correctly positioned.
Check that the Airtech vents are fully open and that there are no blockages within the vents themselves. Ensure the inner lining is not obstructing airflow if it has been reinserted.
Adjust the position of the D3O protectors within their pockets. For a more permanent solution or improved fit, consider upgrading to different D3O armor types (Ghost or L2) which may offer a slimmer profile or better contouring.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. You can try lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Setup: The jacket comes with D3O protectors pre-installed in the shoulders and elbows, with a pocket for a back protector. Ensure all zippers and vents are functioning correctly. The removable thermal lining can be attached or detached using the internal connection points.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed to accommodate optional D3O Ghost or L2 protection upgrades in the shoulders, elbows, and back. It is intended for adult riders.
Care: To maintain the quality of the high-end cow leather, clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to water. Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Store the jacket on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The removable lining can typically be hand-washed or machine-washed according to its specific care label.
