Ive had over £900 of Dainese stuff as I did not know better with my first purchases.
There leathers might be ok, but generally they use weak zips that will fail much earlier than they should:
boots zip,
textile trousers bottom/ankle zip,
all 3 jacket pocket zips,
jacket main zip.
Trouser main zip was close to giving up so I sold them on ebay cheap whlie still mostly functional.
Their D-Dry textile outer layers will absorb more water than a bag of rice. If you hang your coat up on a wet day in someones house or at work, the puddle that collects underneath is embarrassing, bring a bucket with you. Bonded goretex items, which cost a lot more, may not have this issue.
I note that the Scout gloves are still available, and exactly the same as my old pair. Do not buy. No zips to fail but the water absorption is a joke.
They think wet pockets is perfectly acceptable.Only the inside of garment is waterproof. I will admit no problems with leaks, and nikiwax mostly cured the pockets, but this design decision probably saved only few pence of material.
Boots and leather gloves are the only items I would risk buying. I would say build quality and stitching is very good |
