anybody know if the S.F. Dainese Store will be having a July 4th sale? need some summer gear.
BTW, any opinions on Dainese vs. Rev'It? RE: fit, function, style, value.
I have rev'it pants and the crotch has torn after about a year of everyday use. It is a little disapointing because they were like $300! My Dainese jacket is pretty sweet, but the zipper broke. I hear that is a fairly commen problem though.

The crotch busted probably because you're packing so much heat... lol
Most of my gear has ended up being Dainese because their stuff fits me better than most brands. I've been really happy with their quality as well, until just the other day a button came completely off the middle of my jacket. It doesn't affect the structural integrity, however, because the zipper works just fine. I'll keep buying from them.
I've never tried Rev'it.
I'm sure they'll have somekind of sale for 4th of July.
for Dainese vs. RevIt I have both brands, so far both does the job well.
Prices for both are close, hard to choose one for the other.
It come's down to personal preference.

I have both Dainese and Rev'It gear and am happy with both (I picked one over the other based on fit).

Sadly, no. It appears our next sale won't be until Labor Day. I do, however, have some clearance textiles left. Shoot me a PM with your size and what kind of stuff you're looking for, and I'll see what I have left on clearance for you.
DD, are all of your leather jacket and pants compatible? I have the Zen jacket and Im looking for some zip in bottoms, what will work?

PM Duckwrench to get in touch with Maria, who does zipper repairs and installation.

All of our pants, both textile and leather, are interchangable with all of our jackets. You've got all sorts of options there. Go take a look at www.dainese.com and let me know if anything catches your eye.
Dainesedan,
I didn't see anything on the website, but am specifically wondering if you have warm weather jackets and pants, perhaps previous years' items that are deeply discounted. that wouldn't be listed on the website. Always fun to find great stuff on sale, like I did at your Memorial Day sale.

Had you asked me a couple of weeks ago, I would have told you to get on down here, but all of my close out summer leathers have been sold. I still have some leathers left on clearance, but none that are heavily perforated. I do, however have the new Laguna Seca jacket in stock which is a perfect summer jacket, and is one of our cheapest.

Dainesedan,
Any textile jackets or pants that are lightweight/mesh on sale? I'm in the East Bay and am looking for gear to wear when the temps go above 80 degrees. Thanks for your help.
I pass by the D-store today @3pm, store was close :(

I got a Dainese Zentex textile jacket a while back and it is spectacular in hot weather. There is also a Drake Air pant that has tons of ventilation. Only thing is, if you end up riding through the fog you might get cold in this jacket. It feels like you're riding in a t-shirt. (But of course has shoulder and elbow armor, plus a back protector pocket.) Nice jacket.

(the yellow is just one color available - there is also black and the gray one that I got.)

Is this Jacket avail.? Looked on the website and I no c it. This and the lectric vest would be perfect for my commute from the Valley to SF. ??? If avail., how much? with the back insert? and does it come it sweet italian red? thanks
The last time I was at the D-Store they had them. (The main Dainese site is so, um, difficult to navigate I'm not surprised you didn't find it.)
I think there is an orangy-red version (same basic jacket, just red instead of yellow.)
I'll stop at the shop tomorry, thanks Michael.

Hey guys. Sorry for the belated response. We just got back into the shop today after the long weekend.
We have full size runs and all colors on the Zentex. It sells for $269.00, and there are several different back protector inserts you can run ranging from $69 to $89.
Just got my a Zentex with the back insert in a snappy red, and tested it out on that blow dryer called I 580. Does feel like a T-Shirt, but with armor...best purchase of the year. ;D good to meet you dainese dan
Dainesedan or anyone,
Are there any good overpants available with real armor? All I can find are overpants with light padding. I would prefer leather and I don't like chaps.
