FAQs
Are these pants suitable for cold weather riding?
These pants are primarily designed for high temperatures and maximum ventilation. They offer minimal insulation and are not recommended for cold weather riding without significant thermal layering.
Do the hip protectors come included?
No, the hip protectors (Pro-Shape 2.0) are sold separately. The pants are designed with predisposition to accept them.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart and measure your waist, hips, and inseam. Compare these measurements to the chart for the best fit. This guide lists UK sizing, so ensure you cross-reference if needed.
Can I detach the knee protectors?
Yes, the composite knee protectors are adjustable and removable, allowing for cleaning or replacement.
What is the main benefit of the mesh fabric?
The mesh fabric inserts are crucial for maximizing airflow and ventilation, keeping the rider cool and comfortable in hot weather.
How do I clean these textile pants?
Hand wash with mild detergent in cold water. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Hang dry in the shade.
Can these pants be attached to any motorcycle jacket?
The jacket-pants fastening system is designed specifically for compatibility with Dainese jackets. Check compatibility with your specific jacket model.
Troubleshooting
Knee protectors feel uncomfortable or misaligned.
Adjust the position of the knee protectors using the internal adjustment system. Ensure the pants fit correctly at the waist and inseam.
Pants feel too loose or too tight at the waist.
Utilize the waist adjustment system to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Ventilation seems insufficient in very high heat.
Ensure all vents are open and unobstructed. Riding at higher speeds generally improves airflow through the mesh panels.
