FAQs
Are these pants suitable for winter riding?
No, these pants are primarily designed for warm weather riding. While the D-Dry liner offers some protection against the cold, they are not insulated and won't provide adequate warmth in winter conditions.
Can I wear these pants without the D-Dry liner?
Yes, you can wear these pants without the D-Dry liner, which is ideal for hot weather when maximum ventilation is desired. However, you will lose the waterproof functionality.
How do I clean the mesh inserts?
The mesh inserts can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scrubbing aggressively to prevent damage to the fabric.
What kind of protection do these pants offer?
These pants include removable composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1 Standard at the knees, and Pro-Shape soft protectors certified to Standard EN 1621.1 on hips, providing impact protection.
Can I connect these pants to other jackets?
While the pants are designed to work with Dainese jackets with the jacket-pants fastening system, they may not be compatible with other brands' jackets.
What is the material of the pants?
The pants are made of D-Synth 350 fabric, which offers a balance of durability and comfort.
Where can I find the size chart?
Dainese provides a size chart on their official website. Make sure you measure your waist and inseam accurately before choosing your size.
Troubleshooting
Water Leaking Through Pants
Check if the D-Dry liner is properly installed. Ensure all zippers and closures are completely sealed. If the issue persists, the waterproof membrane may be damaged, and the pants may need to be inspected or repaired.
Protectors Moving Out of Place
Adjust the protector pockets to ensure the protectors are correctly positioned and securely held in place. Check the fit of the pants and adjust the waist or calf zippers as needed.
Pants Feel Too Tight or Restrictive
Check the fit of the pants. If the pants are too tight, try loosening the waist adjusters or calf zippers. The Microelastic inserts should allow a good range of motion, but ensure you have the correct size. If the pants are still restrictive, consider a larger size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
