FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for rain?
The Air Frame 3 Tex Jacket includes a windproof liner, which offers some protection against light drizzle. However, it is not a fully waterproof jacket. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof motorcycle jacket or rain suit is recommended.
What is the difference between the windproof liner and a waterproof liner?
A windproof liner blocks air passage to reduce wind chill. A waterproof liner uses a membrane or coating to prevent water penetration. The Air Frame 3 Tex features a windproof liner for versatility in varying temperatures, not full rain protection.
How do I clean the jacket?
Hand wash the jacket with mild detergent in cold water, removing all protectors first. Rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry.
What size back protector does it take?
This jacket is compatible with Dainese G1 and G2 back protectors.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
While the detachable windproof liner adds some warmth, this jacket is primarily designed for summer and transitional weather. For true winter riding, significant layering or a dedicated winter jacket would be necessary.
Are the chest protectors included?
No, the chest protectors (Pro-Armor Chest 2 pcs) are sold separately but are compatible with this jacket.
How do I attach the jacket to pants?
The jacket features a jacket-pants fastening system. Align the connection points on the jacket's lower rear with the corresponding points on compatible Dainese motorcycle pants and secure them together.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too warm on a cool day
Ensure the windproof liner is correctly installed and fully zipped/snapped into place. Check for any gaps.
Jacket flaps excessively at speed
Tighten the waist, wrist, and neck adjustments securely. Ensure the jacket fits snugly without restricting movement.
Water seeps through despite windproof liner
The windproof liner is designed to block wind, not heavy rain. For significant rain, a separate waterproof outer layer is recommended. Check liner seams for potential damage.
Protectors feel loose
Ensure protectors are correctly inserted into their designated pockets and that the pocket closures (if any) are fastened. Adjust jacket fit to hold protectors in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Liner Installation/Removal: Unzip the main jacket zipper. Locate the inner attachment points (zipper and snaps) around the jacket's perimeter and cuffs. Align the detachable windproof liner with these points and zip it in or detach as needed. Ensure the liner is fully secured before riding.
- Protector Check: Verify that the removable composite protectors are correctly seated in their designated pockets on the elbows and shoulders.
- Adjustments: Use the Velcro straps at the waist and wrists, along with the snap closure at the neck, to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure no fabric is excessively loose to prevent flapping.
Compatibility:
- Back Protector: Compatible with Dainese G1 and G2 back protectors. These insert into a dedicated pocket on the back of the jacket.
- Chest Protector: Compatible with Dainese Pro-Armor Chest 2 pcs protectors. These insert into dedicated pockets on the front interior of the jacket.
- Pants: Features a jacket-pants fastening system designed to connect with compatible Dainese motorcycle pants, creating a unified protective suit.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash the jacket using a mild detergent and cold water. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry.
- Drying: Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
- Liner Care: The windproof liner can typically be washed separately following similar gentle hand-wash instructions. Check the care label on the liner itself.
- Protection: Remove composite protectors and any G1/G2 or chest protectors before washing.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade materials.
