Ive been offered a pair of 1 piece Dainese leathers, they have some mild scuffing but i can have them for £70 if i want.
Im interested because the leathers i have at the moment are too big, and im hoping to get a couple more trackdays done this year.
Now, ive heard some bad things recently about dainese, admitedly about the stuff made in eastern europe/far east..?
This pair has a made in italy label on them, so would it be reasonable to expect them to be better quality?

Its italian, but you can't have a misterious problem that you tell everyone has happened but wont tell them actually what it is, so they should be alright. Laughing

Had an interesting discussion with a family member few weeks back. She works as head of operations for a large international clothing company in asia. Her comments were, even made in Italy doesnt necessarily mean much these days. As its known for manufacturers to get most of the garments constructed in eastern europe or asia, then back to Italy for "finishing".

Dainese used to be good but no more , as said my off last yera bust open the seams on the arm..

And as that ex cop says they are no better than tissue paper....

as a post mortem looking at my dainese suit its full of single stitching using thing thread and has lots of weak points...

My HG suit though has double stitching as a minmum in all places and triple stitching in various places and uses thick thick thread in the stiching.

I just took my leathers to a specialist biker leather alteration lady, and she said Dainese are the worst ones, they just fall apart aparently...

I think she might know what shes talking about too Thumbs Up
