FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for all-season riding?
The Air Frame 3 Tex Jacket is primarily designed for warm weather due to its extensive mesh construction. With the detachable windproof lining, it can extend usability into cooler spring and autumn conditions, but it is not intended as a primary cold-weather jacket.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Dainese sizing chart for women's jackets. Measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference accurately and compare these measurements to the chart. It's often recommended to size up if you are between sizes or plan to wear substantial layers underneath.
Can I add a back protector?
Yes, this jacket is designed to accommodate Dainese G1 and G2 back protectors, which can be purchased separately and inserted into the dedicated pocket.
How waterproof is the jacket?
The jacket itself is not waterproof, but it features a waterproof inner pocket for essential items. The detachable windproof lining offers resistance to light rain and wind but is not a substitute for a dedicated rain suit.
What kind of riding is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for general street riding, commuting, and touring in warm to mild temperatures. Its focus on ventilation makes it particularly well-suited for summer conditions.
Are the shoulder and elbow protectors included?
Yes, the jacket comes with removable composite protectors for the shoulders and elbows.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, removing all protectors first. Hang to dry in a shaded area. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying, as these can damage the materials and protective elements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too loose or baggy.
Utilize the adjustable straps at the waistband, cuffs, and neck. Also, ensure the sleeve volume adjustment straps are correctly set to reduce flutter.
Windproof lining is difficult to attach/detach.
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Align the zippers carefully before attempting to zip or unzip. Make sure the lining is fully dry before attempting attachment.
Zippers are stiff or catching.
Apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Reflective inserts are peeling.
Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the reflective elements during cleaning. If peeling occurs, consider professional repair or replacement of the inserts if possible.
