Title: Ducati / Dainese 80's Perforated Leather Jacket
Post by: Takster on May 13, 2009, 11:27:32 AM
Build quality is absolutely fantastic.

Got the G2 back protector along with it.

It needs a little bit of breaking in, as it's a little stiff in the shoulders, but should be perfect once it does.

I love mine. I've had it for about a yr and have conditioned it a couple of times. It's really nicely broken in. The only down side is I can't take it when the temp is over 85  :-\

I have the non-perf and I agree it's a nice jacket once broken in. I've had it for about two years now and it's just getting comfortable in the arms, the torso is still a bit stiff though. It's not my only jacket but it's my fave.

same here. I have a Rev'it Air for the warmer weather, but prefer the non-perf leather.

What did you use to condition your jacket? I have never cleaned or conditioned my jacket (AGV) and probably should. I would assume any quality leather conditioner?

I use the Dainese leather care kit 'cause I happen to have one, but I hear the cheaper stuff works just as well, including Luxol.

Luxol (bought some from the word of mouth on this site). It works great.
speaking of, this is a reminder to myself that those bugs aren't cleaning their own remains off my shoulders.

Lexol I think you mean... They make a cleaner and a conditioner...

I have the non-perfed version with a G2 also.  Great jacket.  It is a bit more snug than my Dainese Viking in the same size.

That's what I have been using for the most part . Get it in the pump spray container at the Auto parts store for about $10.     Dolph    :)
