I have the Dainese-Ducati corse leather jacket, and I'm wondering if anyone knows which pants will zip to the bottom of the jacket?
The pant's zipper goes most of the way around, except for 3-4 inches at the front zipper.
I'm trying to come up with full leathers without springing for a suit. This might be a way. Otherwise I'll be selling the jacket to partially fund the suit purchase. I'm not racing, just riding and will probably go to some track days here and there - so spending a lot on a suit just doesn't make sense right now. If I decide to stay with the track riding, I will definitely go the suit route, just trying to be smart with the $ while figuring out how much I will be riding on the track.
Thanks in advance.
Dainese jackets (and Ducati branded jackets made by Dainese) should zip to any of their leather pants they manufacture. If you're going for a different brand you should try them out with your jacket at a shop since the zipper sizes vary from brand to another. Joe Rocket uses short zipper lengths, Icon uses another size, Alpinestars may be close.
Maybe pm Dainese Dan, or if he sees this, he'll post up. He should be able to tell you which exact models will work. He's very helpful and tends to be "on" as far as sizing goes.
Any pant we make, both leather and textile, will match up with your jacket. As for sizing, simply add 18 to your waist measurement (in inches) and that will get you in the ballpark. Keep in mind, if you go leather, they need to be as snug as you can comfortably get them as pants have a tendency to stretch even more than a jacket will.
Congrats on your new jacket! [thumbsup]
OK, I'm leaning towards the Delta perforated leather pants. Are the perforated version a better choice? I live in northern IL and ride mainly in the summer. My jacket is perfed. I would like to have the knee sliders for the occasional track days and would probably remove them for riding on the street.
Comments? Suggestions for other pants?
Thanks in advance.
I have a pair of the Dainese SF perfed leather pants w, sliders and like them real good.
Also have a pair of Dainese Mekong perfed leather pants and like them as well.
You can't go wrong with Dainese.
