FAQs
Are the knee protectors adjustable?
The included composite knee protectors are EN 1621-1 certified and sit in fixed internal pockets, though the stretch fabric construction allows for natural positioning.
Can I wear these in winter?
These pants are primarily designed for summer and mid-season use; for deep winter, you may need additional thermal layering underneath.
Are the hip protectors included?
No, the pants come with hip pockets prepared for Pro-Shape 2.0 soft protectors, which must be purchased separately.
Is the waterproof membrane breathable?
Yes, the Absøluteshell membrane is specifically designed to be both waterproof and breathable to manage internal moisture.
How do I clean the mesh fabric?
Hand wash the outer textile shell with mild soap and water, avoiding direct heat sources or high-heat tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Waterproof membrane feels damp or humid
Ensure the membrane is properly aligned and zipped securely to the inner lining to allow for proper moisture wicking.
Pants feel restrictive around the knees
Adjust the position of the composite protectors within the internal pocket; ensure the stretch fabric is not obstructed by inner base layers.
Jacket attachment zip does not align
Ensure you are using a compatible Dainese jacket; the zipper teeth must be clean and free of debris for a smooth connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your Dainese pants, ensure the waist adjustment straps are tightened to a snug fit before riding. The jacket-to-trousers attachment zip is compatible with most standard Dainese riding jackets. For maintenance, remove all internal armor before washing the outer shell according to the manufacturer's care label. Avoid harsh detergents and always air-dry the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area to protect the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Check the knee protectors periodically to ensure they are seated correctly in their pockets after a long ride.
