Troubleshooting

Difficulty zipping the front closure.

Ensure the back protector is properly aligned and not twisted. If the zipper still sticks, try applying a small amount of lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Back protector feels too tight or restrictive.

Check the size guide and ensure you have the correct size. The protector should fit snugly but not restrict movement. Consider trying a larger size.

The outer fabric is damaged.

Check for any damage or tears after each ride. Minor damage can sometimes be repaired. If the damage compromises protection, the back protector should be replaced.
