Product Information
Full details
The Dainese Avro 5 Leather Jacket is designed for adult male riders seeking a versatile, comfortable, and protective jacket inspired by MotoGP™ racing suits. Its key benefit is the blend of premium materials and race-derived design, offering excellent abrasion resistance and flexibility. A potential caveat is that the thermal liner, while removable, is designed for separate use and may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold conditions.

FAQs
What type of leather is used in the Avro 5 jacket?
The jacket is made from Tutu cowhide leather, known for its excellent abrasion resistance and premium feel.
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 standalone layer.
Does this jacket come with armor included?
The jacket includes standard composite protectors on the shoulders and elbows. Back and chest protectors are optional and sold separately.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the jacket in water. Follow up with a leather conditioner periodically.
What is the purpose of the Microelastic 2.0 inserts?
These inserts are made of stretch material strategically placed to enhance flexibility and provide a comfortable, personalized fit, especially when in a riding posture.
Is this jacket suitable for all-weather riding?
The jacket is versatile with a removable thermal liner, making it suitable for mild to cool conditions. For very cold or wet weather, additional specialized gear would be necessary.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart and measure yourself accurately. Try the jacket on in a riding position to check for comfort and restriction in movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to smooth its operation.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. This helps restore moisture and suppleness.
Thermal liner is difficult to attach/remove
Ensure the liner is correctly aligned with the jacket's internal snaps or zipper. Check for any obstructions and try again. Refer to the jacket's manual if available.
Jacket feels too tight when arms are raised
The Microelastic 2.0 inserts should provide flexibility. If it's still too restrictive, the jacket may be a size too small or not suited for your riding posture. Ensure you are trying it on with the type of base layer you typically wear.
