Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This jacket requires no complex setup. Ensure all zippers and closures are fastened correctly before riding. Adjust the arm and waist mechanisms for a snug yet comfortable fit. The magnetic zipper should engage smoothly; if resistance is felt, check for obstructions.
Compatibility:
While designed as a standalone riding jacket, it is compatible with most riding pants through connection zippers (check specific pant compatibility). The female anatomical fit is optimized for standard rider posture. It is generally compatible with various helmet types and other riding gear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a mild detergent and cool water. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as these can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and other materials.
- Drying: Hang dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for technical outdoor gear to maintain its water-repellent properties. Follow the product’s instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably on a hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding or compressing for long periods, which can damage the fabric and membrane.
