I bought these for my Ducati 996. I run Hypermotard grips on my Sport Classic and really like the "waffle" pattern for comfort. So, not wanting to spend big bucks on Ducati grips, I went with these. They are comfy and reduce the buzz on my fingers a bit. They are a step up from original but the downside is I don't see them lasting very long. I ride rather aggressive and do some canyon runs and I can see wear already at the ends after only 2 weeks. That said, I would buy these again. BTW, I only used 3M spray adhesive on the left one as the 996 has ribs on the throttle sleeve to hold the grip in place. No twisting or slipping after hard riding. Hope this helps.

Let me say, I was skeptical at first when i first saw this on the site for such a price with so many essential features. I met a guy on a ride who had it on ( he had a MED )and asked him a few questions and was sold just by what I saw... a quality no non-sense leather suit. He did say that he should have ordered a size smaller as his was a bit off-shoulder. (He was my stature as well)
Otherwise he was happy.
It was shipped free... I ordered on a Sunday pm and it arrived Tuesday morning! It was bagged in it's own garment bag and shipped in a box. My first impression was the color was vibrant white and the red was subtle but noticeable ;)

I specifically ordered a SMALL although I'm 5-8, 165-170.
I believe a race suit should be hard to get into and out of. I see a lot of guys that say their expensive suits a comfy but they are ill fitting and too big. (It is my experience that a tight suit is better than one that will give you rug burns once you hit the ground and catch on something.)

It is comfy once wrestling it on, but getting my legs in was a challenge. There is WAY TOO MUCH loose material in the legs and my feet (size 9) kept getting caught up in it.. Same for the shoulder. The shoulder protection kept shifting around while putting my arms through.
Once on and zipped up though, it was part of me...everything was where it should be and movement was acceptable. There is a bit of nut tug but the flexible panel down there made it tolerable :)

All in all, I am happy with the purchase so far...maybe an update when I ride with it later. Cheers!

Dainese Draken Two Piece Suit A racing heart and assertiveness distinguish this two-piece racing suit designed to face the asphalt in complete safety thanks to the exceptional resistance offered by D-Skin leather, protectors co-injected with titanium inserts on the shoulders, homologated protectors on the knees, sides, and elbows, and the patented system for the fastening of the boots. High comfort levels are assured even under the most intense riding conditions thanks to elasticated inserts in S1 fabric and the microclimate created by the 3D Bubble liner and the silver ion treatment given to the Nanofeel liner. Features and Benefits Composite protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standard Co-injected shoulders with titanium inserts Soft protectors certified to EN 1621.1/97 Standards at sides Cowhide Leather S1 Fabric Double calf zip Elasticized inserts Suit-to-boot fastening system Fixed, 3D-Bubble liner air spaces aerodynamic spoiler Soft inserts Replaceable sliders Reflective inserts Internal pocket
Does this suit has the pocket for a Neck Support?
I'm looking for a suit which would give me the option of using a more complete back protection, from the lower back up to the neck, can you wear a neck support with this suit or fit a full wave pro jacket with neck support under it?
I'm not sure ... I plan on wearing a back protector underneath but to honest I'm not sure about neck protection.

Hi! Just a sizing question for you guys!
