Troubleshooting
Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.
Water is leaking through the waterproof membrane.
Inspect the main zipper and seam seals for damage. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. If leakage persists, the membrane may be compromised and require professional inspection or replacement.
Armor inserts feel uncomfortable or shift during riding.
Ensure the armor is the correct size for the pocket and is seated properly. Adjust the fit using the internal adjustments if available, or consider an alternative size armor insert if the pocket allows.
Ventilation panels are not providing sufficient airflow.
Ensure the ventilation zippers are fully open and that the panels themselves are not obstructed by debris or clothing.
