Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This jacket requires no assembly. Ensure the zippers are functioning smoothly before initial wear. If you plan to use the optional CE armor, simply insert the pads into the designated velcro pockets located on the inside of the shoulders, back, and elbows. Ensure they are flat and securely fastened.
Compatibility:
- CE Armour: Compatible with most standard motorcycle CE protective armor (shoulder, back, elbow pads) up to a specified size, check internal pocket dimensions if using non-brand armor.
- Sizing: Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate fit, as leather jackets often fit differently than fabric outerwear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the jacket with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaking the leather. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner every 6-12 months, or more frequently in dry climates, to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a small, inconspicuous area first to test.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid folding or crushing it. Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
- Water Exposure: While the leather offers some water resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the jacket gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
