    Dainese leathers?

    Dainese leathers, I have been looking at their 1 and 2 piece suits. Has anyone had them? If so, how are they?

    exelent quality, but what body type do you have? Are you relatively thin for your height or stocky? They're ''euro'' cut so they tend to fit slimmer folk better. Also, they tend to run one size small. I was an Alpinestars size 50 but the Dianese 52 is what fits me. I'm about 5'9.5'' & 165ish lbs.

    +1 I got a Dianise 1 pc. SZ 56 euro and it is a bit tight. I'm 5-10 188 so If you cant try it on, go one size bigger.

    Pete, I think you stopped growing in 7th grade!

    We've got the Dainese Laguna Seca perfed 1 pc. leathers in stock - Euro sizes 50 thru 60. I don't think we're too far from you so you should stop in and check them out.

    You are not far from me. I may have to come try one on. I would rather buy local if I can anyway. I am sure I will have to try a larger size. I am 5-10 about 205 lbs. I have a 40in chest, 15in bicep, 36in waist, 30" inseem.

    Sadly, I don't think I'll ever need to replace my knee pucks

    only wore a suit for two laps but I was def impressed with the cut and comfort of it. Not a fan of over the boot legs though, that felt kinda funny.

    Re: Dainese leathers?

    That last post is a tough act to follow ...

    I got two sets of Dainese .. one perfed and the other solid and one size larger for cold weather riding.

    The perfed one is the Bora and it is an incredible piece of gear.
    My only complaint about them is the flimsy zipper pulls that break off.
    I replaced the broken ones with black fishing swivels.

    Also have the safety armor Pro Short and the chest and back armor (Gillet Wave 2) that I wear under the jacket.

    Been crash tested and approved. No complaints and would purchase again in a heartbeat.

    My only advice is to buy perforated ... non-perfed leather is beastly hot especially over 80F.

    If loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to ride would do.
