FAQs
Are the hip protectors included with the pants?
No, the Dainese Drake 2 Air Textile Pants are prepared for Pro-Shape 2.0 hip protectors, but they must be purchased separately.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart. Key measurements include waist, inseam, and hip circumference. The adjustable waist offers some flexibility.
Can these pants be worn in the rain?
These are textile pants designed primarily for comfort and ventilation. They offer basic water resistance but are not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof over-suit or dedicated rain pants are recommended.
What is the warranty period for these pants?
Please refer to the official Dainese warranty policy for the specific duration and coverage details, as this can vary by region and retailer.
How do I clean the composite knee protectors?
The composite knee protectors can be removed from the pants. Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
Is the Cordura Comfort fabric waterproof?
Cordura Comfort fabric is known for its durability and abrasion resistance, offering some water repellency. However, it is not a waterproof material.
Troubleshooting
Knee protectors feel out of position.
Adjust the height of the knee protectors within their pockets. Ensure the pants fit snugly but comfortably, as a loose fit can cause protectors to shift.
Pants feel too warm on a hot day.
Open the thigh ventilation zips fully to maximize airflow. Consider wearing lighter base layers underneath. For extreme heat, dedicated mesh pants might be more suitable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant (pencil lead) or a zipper lubricant stick to the teeth.
Jacket and pants attachment zip not connecting.
Ensure you are using a compatible Dainese jacket and that both zippers are clean and free of debris. The zippers must be aligned correctly to engage.
