Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains fully functional, it is important to follow proper maintenance procedures. The waxed cotton shell should be periodically 're-waxed' to maintain its water-repellent properties, depending on usage frequency and climate conditions. Avoid using heavy detergents when cleaning; instead, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water to wipe away road grime. Before storing the jacket for extended periods, ensure it is completely dry and hung on a wide, padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders. Always check that the D3O armour is correctly seated in the internal pockets after any intensive cleaning or if the jacket has been compressed for storage.
