Ok, now before you put on your jacket, lay it down and loosen the cinch straps on the sleeves at the wrist and both sides of the waist. This will provide a perfect starting point for the adjustment.
Simulating Riding Posture
When checking or adjusting the jacket to your fitting, it is crucial to mimic your riding posture, meaning, you either have to sit on your motorcycle to find the right fit or you can find a similar position that can replicate your riding stance. All riding gears made by Viaterra are designed to be most comfortable while riding.
Checking the Armour placement
While you’re in the riding position, make sure that the armours are in anatomically correct positions. Since every person’s body is unique, the position of the armours in the riding jacket is bound to vary slightly, especially at the elbow.
Adjusting Cinch Straps on the Riding Jacket
- Arm length and girth – Adjust the cinch straps on your biceps and forearm to bring the armour closer to your body.
- Even adjustment – Adjust the cinch straps on the other sleeve similarly to ensure balanced comfort.
- Wrist Comfort – Adjust the Velcro closures at the wrist for a comfortable fit.
- Waist Adjustment – If the jacket feels slightly loose around your body, tighten the cinch straps at the waist. Do remember, if you tighten the waist too much will cause the jacket to ride up over the waist and affect the overall fit, when adjusted correctly the jacket should remain over the waist
Dialling in your ideal fit
- Riding Position – Maintain your simulated riding position to assess comfort and make the necessary adjustments.
- Getting accustomed – Wearing the riding jacket for 5-10 Minutes can help you get accustomed to fit and identify any areas that need further refinement.
- Viaterra Miller Riding Pants – If you are using Viaterra Miller Riding Jacket along with Miller Riding Pants remember to also attach the pant connector for maximum comfort and protection.
