Thank you. After posting this, I had the idea to respond in Greek and to attach a photo of what I think he's saying. Hopefully it'll help. Appreciate your help!

To his credit, Theodoros responded quickly to the clip I sent him and he identified the issue. I'll paste his suggestion below. I think he means I should wet the back of the jacket in the shoulders/neck area, then sit and use my extended knee to "push" a curve into the center of the...

Thank you. I went on the Thedi website and used their contact form to link to a video I recorded of myself demonstrating the fit. The jacket just wants to "shoot up" to my neck. Your jacket looks great from the back while unzipped. What's odd is that I have an Aero Board Racer that has almost...
