Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing a thinner base layer or consider breaking in the jacket, as leather stretches slightly over time.

Armor feels out of place or uncomfortable.

Adjust the armor within the jacket's pockets to ensure proper placement over your joints. Consult the product manual for detailed instructions.

Ventilation feels insufficient.

Ensure the vents are fully open. Consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer for added comfort in warm weather. If the heat is extreme, use a different jacket that is designed to provide better airflow.

Leather appears dry or cracked.

Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather. Follow the conditioner's instructions carefully.
