Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive.

Vest not providing enough warmth.

Consider wearing additional base layers underneath or use the vest in conjunction with other Alpinestars gear for added insulation. The vest is designed for wind protection and a moderate level of warmth, not for extreme cold.

Wind protection seems inadequate.

Ensure the vest is properly zipped up. Adjust the fit at the bottom hem for a tighter seal against the wind. Check for damage or wear on the vest that may compromise wind resistance.
