Product Information

Full details

The LS2 Garda Air Textile Jacket is designed for adult male riders seeking optimal airflow and comfort during hot weather motorcycle rides. Its key benefit is superior breathability thanks to extensive mesh panels and innovative cooling fabric, ensuring a pleasant experience even on the hottest days. A potential caveat is its classification as Class A protective gear, which may be less protective than higher-rated jackets for extreme conditions. This lightweight summer jacket features a durable ripstop poly fabric outer shell, integrated removable shoulder and elbow protectors, and multiple adjustment points for a secure fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?

The LS2 Garda Air Textile Jacket is primarily designed for summer and warm weather riding due to its extensive mesh panels and focus on breathability. It is not intended for cold or wet conditions without significant additional layering.

What type of protection does the jacket offer?

The jacket comes standard with removable Level 1 shoulder and elbow protectors (EN1621-1:2012). It is certified according to EN 17092-4:2020, Class A. Optional LS2 chest and back protectors can be added for increased impact protection.

How do I clean the jacket?

To clean the jacket, remove all protectors first. Hand wash using mild soap and cold water. Hang it to dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, bleach, iron, or dry clean.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, the jacket features several adjustment points, including snap adjustments at the cuff and waist, and a Velcro flap for the front zipper closure, allowing you to achieve a personalized and secure fit.

What is RUCO®-THERM CMB material?

RUCO®-THERM CMB is an innovative material used on the inner sleeve designed to optimize thermal comfort. It responds to moisture, providing a pleasant and long-lasting cooling sensation similar to menthol, enhancing comfort during hot rides.

What does 'Class A' certification mean for this jacket?

The EN 17092-4:2020 Class A certification indicates a baseline level of abrasion resistance and impact protection suitable for urban riding and general motorcycle use. For high-speed or high-risk riding, higher protection classes might be considered.

How do I insert or replace the elbow protectors?

Locate the internal pocket for the elbow protector. Insert the protector into the pocket. The pocket has an adjustable system allowing for two possible protector positions; select the position that best aligns the protector with your elbow.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too warm during a ride.

Ensure all adjustment points (cuffs, waist, front zipper flap) are open to maximize airflow. Verify that the mesh panels are not obstructed. For cooler conditions, consider layering with appropriate thermal wear.

Protectors feel uncomfortable or are not staying in place.

Check that the protectors are fully inserted into their pockets. Utilize the adjustable elbow protector pocket system to find the optimal height. Ensure the jacket is adjusted snugly to your body using the waist and cuff snaps.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage. The Titanium semi-automatic lock YKK vislon front zipper is designed for durability; ensure it is aligned before zipping.

Reflective strips appear faded or damaged.

Reflective elements require careful cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If damage occurs, it may affect visibility and cannot typically be repaired; consider this for future jacket replacement if safety is compromised.
