Dririder Climate Control Exo 4 Jacket - BLK / WHT

The DriRider Climate Control Exo 4 is a vented hypersports touring jacket that blends high-tenacity textile with full grain cowhide leather in the shoulders and elbows, so you get abrasion resistance where it matters most alongside genuine airflow through the micro mesh body.

It is built for riders who want one jacket that adapts to changing Australian conditions. A removable waterproof and breathable Dri-Tex liner handles wet weather, a removable dotted quilted liner takes the edge off cold mornings, and with both out you are left with a mesh-lined shell for hot days. D3O CE Level 2 armour sits in the shoulders and elbows.

Pre-curved sleeves, stretch panels and a lined comfort collar keep the fit natural in a sports riding position, while arm and waist adjusters let you dial in the shape over a range of layers. Finished in a black/white colourway.

Remove the D3O armour and both liners before any cleaning — never wash the jacket with armour still fitted.
Spot clean the outer shell with a soft cloth, cool water and a mild soap; avoid bleach, solvents, petrol-based cleaners and dry cleaning.
Treat the cowhide leather panels separately with a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner to stop them drying out or cracking.
Rinse the D3O armour under cool water if needed and let it air dry fully before refitting; do not apply heat.
Hand wash the removable liners and let them drip dry — keep the Dri-Tex membrane away from tumble dryers, radiators and direct heat.
Air dry the jacket on a wide hanger out of direct sunlight, never over a heater or in front of a fire.
Fit the waterproof liner before wet rides and remove it in hot weather so the micro mesh panels can flow air properly.
Before each ride, check that the shoulder and elbow armour is sitting square over the joints and that the arm and waist adjusters are set so the protectors stay in place.
Use the zipper connector to join the jacket to matching riding pants for a more secure fit at speed.
Inspect seams, zips and Velcro periodically, and keep zips clean and lightly lubricated; replace the jacket after a crash that has damaged the shell or armour.
Store on a broad hanger in a cool, dry, ventilated space rather than compressed in a bag, and make sure it is completely dry first to avoid mould and odour.
