FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Absøluteshell™ Pro membrane?

The Absøluteshell™ Pro membrane provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, ensuring you stay dry from external moisture while allowing internal sweat vapor to escape.

Is this jacket suitable for winter riding?

The jacket is designed for versatility. While lightweight, it can be layered with thermal base layers and mid-layers to adapt to colder temperatures. However, it does not typically include a heavy thermal liner as standard.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart and measure your chest and waist. It is also recommended to try the jacket on in person if possible, especially considering its specific fit for motorcycle riding posture.

Can this jacket be worn for sports other than motorcycling?

While inspired by outdoor apparel and functional, its primary design and protective features are for motorcycling. Its lightweight and waterproof nature make it suitable for other outdoor activities where such protection is beneficial.

What kind of protection does the jacket offer?

The jacket is designed to offer protective qualities suitable for motorcycle riding. Specific impact protection details would typically refer to the possibility of inserting aftermarket protectors in designated pockets, if available.

How often should I clean the jacket?

Clean the jacket as needed, typically after rides where it has been exposed to significant dirt, sweat, or moisture. Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance of the fabric and membrane.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The DWR treatment on the outer fabric may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the Absøluteshell™ Pro membrane itself is not compromised.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a graphite pencil lead rubbed on the teeth) to help it glide smoothly.

Inner lining feels damp

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If the dampness persists, it may indicate a breach in the waterproof membrane or insufficient breathability due to clogged pores. Clean the jacket and check for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed as motorcycle apparel, it is intended for use by adult male riders. Ensure your size is correct for optimal fit and performance. It can be worn over base layers and mid-layers depending on the ambient temperature.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
  • Drying: Hang to air dry. Do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and other materials.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check zippers and seams for wear. For long-term waterproof performance, consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment as per the manufacturer's recommendations for waterproof textiles.
