Ride where there are no bugs.

Or, shower more frequently.

Bonfire and buy a new one, the wax has gone rancid and you can never get it all out and replaced with fresh wax.

I think you can machine wash it, and then re proof it. I’m pretty sure Belstaff offer the service.

nope, they don’t. But these do. Worth looking at if it’s something you don’t want to give up on
