FAQs
What is Tutu cowhide leather?
Tutu cowhide is a premium, full-grain cowhide leather known for its excellent abrasion resistance, flexibility, and durability, commonly used in high-performance motorcycle racing suits.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The Dainese Avro 5 Leather Jacket is not waterproof. While the leather offers some resistance, it is recommended to wear a separate waterproof outer layer or rain suit for prolonged exposure to rain.
What protection is included?
The jacket comes standard with composite protectors in the elbows and shoulders. It also has a pocket for an optional back protector and soft inserts on the chest.
How do I clean the leather jacket?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For a deeper clean and conditioning, use a product specifically designed for motorcycle leather. Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
Can the thermal liner be worn separately?
Yes, the thermal liner is designed to be removable and can be worn on its own as a lightweight, insulated jacket.
What is the purpose of the aerodynamic spoiler?
The aerodynamic spoiler on the back of the jacket helps to stabilize the jacket at high speeds, reducing flapping and improving rider comfort and control.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart and measure yourself accurately. Pay attention to chest, waist, and arm measurements. The adjustable waist and stretch inserts also allow for fine-tuning the fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight in shoulders or arms
Ensure the size is correct for your body measurements. Utilize the Microelastic 2.0 stretch inserts and adjustable waist to optimize fit. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or model.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and try again.
Thermal liner is difficult to attach/detach
Align the zipper on the liner carefully with the jacket's internal zipper. Ensure there are no obstructions. The snap fasteners should click into place easily when aligned.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Clean the jacket with a damp cloth and then apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for motorcycle apparel. This will rehydrate and protect the leather.
