The jacket features a total of 8 pockets: 2 waterproof outside pockets, 1 inside pocket, 1 back pocket, 1 pocket in the thermal lining, 2 stretch mesh chest pockets, and 1 document pocket on the sleeve.
What makes the GORE-TEX ePE membrane special?
The GORE-TEX ePE membrane provides advanced waterproof and breathable performance, designed to keep you dry and comfortable by preventing water entry while allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information varies by retailer and region. Please consult your point of purchase or the official Dainese website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Water is seeping through the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment to the outer shell.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or misplaced
Adjust the fit of the jacket using the waist, sleeve, and wrist closures. Ensure the protectors are correctly seated within their designated pockets. Some protectors may require a short break-in period.
Jacket feels less breathable than usual
The jacket's membrane or vents may be clogged. Clean the jacket thoroughly, paying attention to any mesh or vent areas. Ensure internal pockets are clear of obstructions.
