FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GORE-TEX ePE membrane?
The GORE-TEX ePE membrane provides advanced, durable waterproofness and breathability, keeping you dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for sport touring and offers excellent protection against elements. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal insulation underneath.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart. The jacket is designed with an ergonomic fit for sport touring, so consider your measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length. The provided size '46' refers to a UK men's waist size.
Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?
While the jacket is breathable, it is designed for touring and may be warm in very high temperatures. Consider opening vents if available or layering appropriately for comfort.
What is the difference between GORE-TEX and GORE-TEX ePE?
GORE-TEX ePE is an evolution of GORE-TEX technology, focusing on enhanced sustainability and performance characteristics, including durable waterproofness and breathability.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the outer fabric, typically after several washes or significant use.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and waterproof, and check that the DWR treatment on the outer fabric is still effective. Re-apply DWR if necessary. Clean the jacket as per care instructions, as dirt can affect performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Apply a zipper lubricant or wax to the teeth for smoother operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels less breathable
The breathability can be affected by external dirt or internal residue. Clean the jacket thoroughly using a technical wash. Ensure the internal lining is also clean.
