FAQs
Can the thermal liner be worn on its own?
Yes, the removable thermal liner is designed to be worn separately as a standalone garment for added warmth off the bike.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Dainese size guide provided, paying close attention to the UK waist measurements. It is recommended to measure yourself accurately before purchasing.
What is the primary benefit of the D-Dry® membrane?
The D-Dry® membrane provides a high level of waterproofing, ensuring you stay dry during wet weather rides.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Hang dry away from direct heat.
Is this jacket suitable for very hot weather?
While the thermal liner can be removed, the jacket's waterproof construction may make it warmer than a mesh jacket in extreme heat. It is best suited for moderate to cool temperatures or wet conditions.
What maintenance is required for the waterproofing?
Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric to maintain optimal water-repellency. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Troubleshooting
Jacket leaks water
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check the D-Dry® membrane for any damage. Reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric if water is soaking into the shell rather than beading off.
Thermal liner is difficult to attach/remove
Ensure both the jacket and liner zippers are properly aligned. Check for any obstructions in the zipper teeth. Try zipping and unzipping a few times to loosen it.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth until it moves freely.
Jacket feels too warm
Remove the thermal liner. Open any available ventilation zippers or points on the jacket.
