I have them in stock.  What size are you looking for?

I think we already spoke about this... size 50.  I know you have them in stock, but I just have a problem with having to send you a photocopy of my drivers license and credit card to simply order a pair of pants.  Company policy, I know...  but it's just too much for a simple credit card transaction. 

Thanks anyway, though...

Been shopping myself...

Keep me posted with what you end up getting, and the price you pay.


I'm looking for a year round textile pant. With removeable liner for the summer, but that can allow me to ride into the cooler months also.

I don't want a dedicated winter and dedicated summer pant.

I tried to get some of the Dainese Galvestone goretex pants from kneedraggers - ordered them, and then get an email saying they don't even have them in stock... Kind of pissed me off, seems they should up date their site to reflect items they don't have, especially since two months late they still show they have size 52 and all the rest!

I ended up ordering them from www.bimoto.be and spent just a little more then the KD price even with shipping and the weak $...

So, try www.bimoto.be - Frans and Bram will do you right!

Call Glenn or Matthew at 916.369.2509 or email them at sales@motowheels.com. They can get the pants you need in two days if they have it in the warehouse.

If you don't want to deal w/ Dainese D-Store try Cyclegear.com , they have many stores. A word about Kneedraggers, they list everything that Dainese carries and you order it and the item may be in their warehouse or not even in Italy. If you order it from Italy there is no way of knowing when it will arrive. Could be a month or 4 months from my experience. Things move slow in Italy.  Dolph

Thanks, but cyclegear.com doesn't appear to have the biggest of Dainese selections.  Motowheels doesn't stock what I'm looking for.  As far as I can tell, there was one pair of pants in my size in North America, and Dainese SF had them.

You might want to go to dainese.it   That site is in Italy and when I registered it seemed to me that you could use a credit card to make your purchase. Dolph

strange, it will take a hell of a lot less time and effort to send these details to Dan than to spend hunting down an alternative source on the net. The company is just trying to protect itself and therefore you (through cheaper prices that don't have a huge 'shrinkage' adjustment to them). When dealing with an international transaction I will always offer provide these details - it's when they won't take them and refuse point blank to deal with me that I find painfull...you should be happy that you have a contact that WANTS to help!

just my 2cents...

strange, this wasn't an international transaction.  i've never been asked to supply a faxed copy of my drivers license and credit card for a few hundred dollars credit card purchase.  credit cards from major banks...  they have their own protection and control mechanisms...  if it's really necessary, why don't i have to do that for every single transaction with my credit card then?  and cheaper prices?  their price is $25 higher than elsewhere.

I agree, you shouldnt have to fax our ID in. When they swipe your card, they automatically know if the card is valid or not. And if its stolen, come on the guy who magnus got it from would of already cancelled it by this time.

If hes a repeated stealer or has a fake one, then let the banks take care of it. Plus this is the DMF... shouldnt dainese dan be a minor sponsor if hes doing plugs for his company  ;). eitherway, Dont give into photocopying your ID. its bs even if its for their own sake. The risk vs benifit of doing that is just too small when dealing with minor items. If you get a $2,000 order okay. (but that the cost of dainese stuff you could probably spend close to that on just a suit alone)

Try motorama.it

Actually it looks like Bimoto.be is better. They take Visa and MC w/ no faxing of ID or CC.  Dolph
