Don't know much about this Dainese line of leather but Revzilla sent this email. $600.00 jacket for $229.00.

Does it come with a man-purse and a $20 Starbucks card?
Holy Jesus that's a feminine looking jacket

 

If they said it was a $800.00 jacket for $229.00 then it would be a better deal.

 

Wow ....I want that....not. WTF ?

 

Well I hope you like the brown, because they are out of all sizes in black.

 

Dang That thing would not leave ya room for a T shirt under it.

 

Yup. Dainese and A* are the typical Euro fit which it tight if you not a skinny guy. I have a few when/for ridding sportbikes. Pricey bit worth it for me...I wait for when they go onsale.

 

Dainese make quality stuff. You pay for it, but it is some of the best. I went to their store up in chi-town, and none of it fit me. I used to wear Alpinestar when i had sport bikes. I would say that Dainese truly fits euro. Kind of like helmets....if they can wreck in in Moto GP or WSBK and walk away, then that's what I want protecting my skin and head.

 

That's a pretty expensive line of jackets. Usually Ducati riders wear that brand.

 

Markups in the garment business are known to be astronomical. If you have time to shop you will find deals, particularly on discontinued lines before spring lineups come to market. MC riders (I assume) care more about function than,,, whatever, so no hurry IMHO.

Also, MC jackets see a lot of sun and wind and occasional wet. Treating em to some brand of natural oil conditioner really pays off. So, you really want a coat with "suede" panels in it ??
