FAQs
What is Tutu cowhide leather?
Tutu cowhide is a type of leather known for its high quality, offering excellent abrasion resistance and a smooth finish, making it ideal for motorcycle protective gear.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The Avro 5 is primarily a leather jacket and is not waterproof. While it can offer some resistance to light drizzle, it is not designed for heavy rain. For wet conditions, a waterproof outer layer or a dedicated rain suit is recommended.
What protectors come with the jacket?
The jacket comes equipped with removable composite protectors on the shoulders and elbows. A back protector is not included but can be purchased separately and inserted into the designated pocket.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the official Dainese size guide. Measure your chest, waist, and arm circumference accurately and compare them to the provided chart. It's crucial for safety and comfort.
Can the thermal liner be worn on its own?
Yes, the removable thermal liner is designed to be used separately as a light jacket or vest, offering additional warmth off the bike.
What is the purpose of the aerodynamic spoiler?
The aerodynamic spoiler on the back of the jacket is inspired by racing suits and helps to stabilize the jacket and reduce drag at higher speeds, contributing to a more comfortable ride on the highway.
How do I clean and maintain the leather?
Clean with a damp cloth and use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner periodically. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have consulted the Dainese size guide accurately. Try removing the thermal liner for a less bulky fit. Stretch panels may require some break-in time with use.
Zipper is difficult to close or open.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, use a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant on the zipper teeth.
Thermal liner is difficult to attach/detach.
Align the zipper of the liner with the main jacket zipper carefully. Ensure all snap buttons are correctly fastened or unfastened. Sometimes a slight re-alignment of the jacket can help.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
The jacket may need conditioning. Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle apparel and follow the product's instructions. Store away from heat sources.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months) to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure good ventilation. Do not store in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
- Liner Care: The removable thermal liner can typically be machine washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, following the care label instructions. Allow it to air dry completely.
