I recently ordered and received two of the new offerings from Dainese. I am acquainted with Cory ( Corey ) from the D Store in Costa Mesa , Cali.and got these two new Dainese short leather riding Jackets .

The Trophy.
this Jacket is Black , is has a laser cut design on the back of the Jacket with the Logo in the center of the Design.

The back of the Jacket is lightly sued-ed except across the bottom and that is like eel.

The front is lightly perfed in the lower sleeve and on the sides although it's not considered a " perfed " Jacket.

Also the front is sued-ed and there is D Stone Fabric for ease of movement down the inside length of the sleeves.There is this eel like leather on the outside of the sleeves from the cuffs all the way to the Metal piece on the Shoulders that is in Black.On the front there is a small logo on the left chest done in the eel like leather.

There are the usual removable composite Shoulder and composite Elbow protectors. The inside has the now famous Bubble Liner . 2 outside hidden pockets and a inside zip pocket.Adjustments can be made on either side of the outside and a Jacket to Pants zipper. Elastic fabric at the back of the neck for added comfort w, 2 snap collar closure.










The Tourist is a totally different look altogether. It is Ecru in color and has Silver zippers with leather pull tabs which give it a much more expensive , fashion look. Also the 2 areas of darker textured leather at the Shoulders and just beneath contrast well and add interest to the look of the Jacket . The piece on the Shoulder surround a piece of protective Carbon Fiber. The Jacket has the usual Composite Protection at the Shoulders and Elbows but the way the Jacket is made I 'm thinking it was made with more of a flair for fashion.

There is no brash lettering on the Jacket , just embossed logos in the leather .The Jacket has on both sides two stretch panels running from top to bottom in the underarm area for total flexibility.. A nice leather tab closure over the main zipper adds a nice touch.

The Jacket has a permanent cotton lining with a zipper for Jacket to pants. So I'm thinking it will be a very nice Jacket for when the temps get into the 60s.and below with a layer underneath.

The cuffs have a snap on them which once again adds to the richness of the Jacket.

2 outside pockets and 1 inside pocket. all zippered.
