FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

No, the Dainese Drake 2 Super Air pants are designed for maximum ventilation in warm weather and are not waterproof.

What size should I order?

Refer to the Dainese size chart for women's motorcycle pants. It is recommended to measure your waist and inseam and compare them to the chart. Many users find it helpful to try them on in person if possible.

Can I wear riding jeans or other pants underneath?

These pants are designed to be worn as the primary protective layer. While a thin base layer is acceptable, wearing heavy riding jeans underneath would compromise the fit and ventilation.

How do I clean the composite protectors?

Remove the protectors from the pants before washing. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them into the pants.

What is the main advantage of the mesh fabric?

The main advantage of the mesh fabric is its exceptional breathability, allowing for maximum airflow to keep the rider cool and comfortable in high temperatures.

Can I attach any jacket to these pants?

The jacket-pants fastening system is specifically designed to be compatible with Dainese jackets that feature a matching zipper. Please check your jacket's specifications.

Are hip protectors included?

Hip protectors are not included as standard. The pants have a predisposition (pockets) for Dainese Pro-Shape 2.0 soft protectors, which can be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel too loose or too tight at the waist

Use the integrated waist adjustment straps to tighten or loosen the fit until comfortable and secure.

Knee protectors shift during riding

Adjust the position of the knee protectors using the internal Velcro system and ensure the calf zip is closed properly.

Zipper is difficult to close or open

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth if stiffness persists.

Pants feel warm on a cooler day

The mesh construction is designed for ventilation. For cooler weather, consider layering or using Dainese thermal undergarments.
