FAQs

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will strip away the protective wax finish and damage the garment. Use only cold water and a sponge for spot cleaning.

How often should I re-wax my Trialmaster?

This depends on usage. If you wear it daily in wet weather, you may need to re-wax it once a year. If it is for occasional use, it may last several years between treatments.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it handles rain and wind very well. It is not classified as a fully waterproof membrane jacket like a dedicated rain shell.

What is the purpose of the angled chest pocket?

It was historically designed for motorcycle riders to easily access paper maps without having to unzip the jacket or struggle with reach.

Can I add thermal layers underneath?

Yes, the jacket has a structured fit, but you can accommodate a mid-layer or the compatible Icon gilet if you select the correct size.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface

The wax coating has worn down. Perform a full re-waxing of the garment to restore water resistance.

Jacket feels stiff in cold temperatures

Waxed cotton naturally stiffens in the cold. Wear it for a short time to allow your body heat to soften the wax.

Wax transfer onto other surfaces

If the jacket was recently re-waxed, it may be over-saturated. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to help the wax absorb fully into the cotton fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability waxed cotton construction
  • Excellent wind and water repellence
  • Timeless heritage design with iconic details
  • Adjustable fit through buckle collar and waist belt
  • Versatile storage with four secure bellows pockets

Cons

  • Requires periodic re-waxing maintenance
  • Heavier feel due to waxed cotton material
  • Limited stretch compared to modern technical fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the perfect fit, utilize the adjustable waist belt and the buckle collar to seal out wind. If you plan to wear the jacket in colder climates, ensure you have a compatible Icon gilet ready to attach to the internal mounting points.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Do not machine wash. Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the jacket becomes very soiled, use cold water and a mild sponge.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain water and wind repellence, apply a fresh coat of wax once the fabric starts looking dry or losing its water-beading performance. Follow the specific instructions provided with your wax treatment product.
  • Storage: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the wax from melting or transferring.
