I always get Dainese for a number of reasons. Safety, fit, comfort, reliability, quality, etc. I buy a new suit every year and saw the new colors of the Laguna Seca Pro and just had to have it. This suit feels great on the track or on the twisties in the mountains.

So, I purchased a couple of these boots to accompany my (Dainese) suits. I couldn't be happier with the fit and style of these boots. I could technically wear these with my jeans on the street but, thats why God invented Dainese Dyno street boots. The price is justifiable in my opinion. Hey, that's the price you pay to where the same boots Rossi helped create and trusts. Ciao!

Arai Corsair V Solid Helmet The new Arai Corsair V Solid Color Helmet proves again that Arais main focus is the experienced rider who knows what a real helmet should do and have. It doesnt fling fashion at you it advanced the art of building better helmets for riders. Its improvements and innovations reach down to the smallest details. Why Partly obsession. Partly because Arai believes every part of a helmet is interrelated in both design and function. We dont believe in change for the sake of change, fad, or marketing shock value. Features Newly designed shell with Hyper-Ridge around the bottom enhances shell strength while providing a larger bottom opening Larger bottom opening promotes ease of putting on and taking off the helmet Peripheral belting across the forehead area of the shell enhances structural integrity while maintaining flexibility, low weight and shell size Larger upper vent tabs make operating the vents easier even with thick winter gloves New Arai SAI shield with Super AdSis shield system New SAI shield is 5mm longer in each side and provides a wider field of view New SAI shield and base plates are exclusive to Corsair V helmets Latest generation of Dry Cool line has a new silver-grey color Rear mounting straps are slightly re-positioned exclusively to the Corsair V Neckroll is removable and has additional exhaust channels to remove interior heat Cheek pads have the exclusive Emergency Release Tab feature Newly designed side exhaust cowls exhaust heat as well as add lateral stability at speed Enhanced air inlets of the new DF-9 diffuser increase airflow efficiency Brow vents now duct air into the temple area and out the side vents for maximum cooling Exclusive AirWing provides unprecedented aerodynamic performance with 5 distinct positions DOT approved Snell M2010 Certified

My wife of all people pushed me into spending the additional $ for my birthday this year. I purchased this helmet in frost black. There is nothing on this helmet that doesn't scream badass, quality, safety, and comfort. ARAI truly knows how to make a helmet in every direction. This is probably my 10th helmet in the last few years and this is my top shelf "special" ride and track helmet.

This suit is amazing. At first I was a bit skeptical because in the past I have always had one peice Dainese suits. I decided since it had all the right features at such a wonderful price (for Dainese) I would take the leap and Dainese has NEVER let me down. I truly adore this suit and get compliments all the time. 3-D bubble liner is the business and everything fits me PERFECT (5'9 150lbs size 38). If you are thinking about this suit and have the money, GO FOR IT!! I also, recently purchased another pair of Dainese full metal pro gloves that match the exact colors of my suit. I tried to post photos but the site isn't allowing it for some reason. CIAO!

I purchased this some time ago and I am now writing a review after long term use. This has been a rather high quality shield. The tint (blue) is dark enough that I don't REALLY need sunglasses under the helmet to see while I ride. The adjustability and tightness against the helmet provides a quiet and dry eyed ride. no air or water gets through where it shouldn't. Clean up is relatively easy though I don't do particularly long trips on my superbike so bugs aren't really a problem. Improves the look of the helmet GREATLY!

I have never felt more protected than I am today with my new Thorax Wave Pro. As long as you get the correct size it will give you great coverage over your ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapulas, coccyx (tail bone which is EASILY broken), and spinal area. ALL vital areas that are critical to protect. Dainese has done a magnificent job building this unit, utilizing only the finest in the latest light weight and hardened materials. I wouldn't trust another manufacturer to protect me better than Dainese. Who cares what your friends are or are not wearing while they ride? Cover yourself! Ask doctors about the most common injuries they see from motorcycle wrecks (that survive). Great breathability, too! Very light and as unobtrusive as possible.

I really apprectiate having these jeans for days I just don't feel like wearing my expensive leather pants. These offer what seems to be a terrific amount of abrasion resistance with the Kevlar lining. I wear Forcefield protective pants under them for impact resistance and that offers the perfect mix of street riding protection.
I got these at a great price. Though, I can't compare them to other jeans in the same category since this is my first pair like it. The sizing is just like everyone else says. ex: I am a 31 waist = size 32 = PERFECT. They are a bit long but that is so you can bend your legs and get the correct amount of coverage while you ride.

Futuristic lines and painstaking attention to detail distinguish Quito, the ankle boot in cowhide and split leather expressly designed for city-touring. The quality of the materials used and the application of soft inserts and protections in composite material make the Quito ankle boot safe, sturdy, and comfortable. Ankle height, with closing at the sides by straps over the laces, and an abundance of original personalisation make Quito ankle boots destined for certain success. Features Leather version is perforated Cowhide Topskin leather Composite inserts Soft inserts Honeycomb fabric lining
Overall rating
Arguably, the best daily street boot you can buy. PERIOD
PostedFebruary 28, 2011
Rigid and soft in all the right spots. like all high quality leather boots you must wear them in a bit. I can wear them anywhere and even get a few style compliments on a daily basis. You can barely tell they are a motorcycle boot at first glance.
I have tried other brands in this style boot and they havent held up as well. These boots need to be the standard for their category.
Pros Fashionable, Rugged, Comfortable, Great Value

Simply put... bad ass golves
PostedFebruary 28, 2011
All the things RevZilla says in the video about them is true. I chose these well over the Titan Held golves for a number of reasons.
Dainese never fails to ignite tingly senses in me whenever I use their gear. Light weight, strong as possible, comfort is never an issue as long as you get the proper size. With few exceptions Dainese is the only leather gear I would ever get. I have tried many other brands and I have finally found providence with Dainese
Anyway. Back to the gloves. You will get what you pay for all the way. Great for the track, great for street. I use them for both. If it is good enough for VR it is good enough for me!
When you invest in Dainese you invest in both your image and your safety. I take both very seriously.
Only down side is you don't want to damage them. Too pretty and too expensive to do so.
Pros Comfortable, Fashionable, Great Value, Rugged
Cons You don't want to damage them
Yes, I recommend this product.

Note Due to manufacturer restrictions, Shoei products can only be shipped to addresses within the United States
Will this work with my RF-1000, or only with the newer RF-1100?
And if not, which shield would work / do you carry it?
AFX FX-39 Dual Sport Helmet Features A large-size FX-39DS weighs 1.59 kg or 3.5 lb An aerodynamic shell design constructed using an advanced lightweight composite poly-alloy A flip-up, flush-fit, quick-release, single-turn screw face shield with side covers. The shield itself is optically correct, compound-curved, scratch-resistant and protects against UV-rays There are several tinted shields available for this model Shield can be removed to allow open face riding or goggle use A helmet liner and cheek pads made with a hypoallergenic and anti-microbial nylon, all of which are removable and washable 9 points of ventilation with chin, side, forehead, top and rear vents Retention system is quick release with sewn on ECE logo Provides ample ear cavity space for speakers A clear coat finish to protect paint and graphics Comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty Includes flat black side-covers and screw plug for shield use without the visor DOT approved for use in the United States
What are the Pros and cons of a matte black finish on the AFX FX-39? Is it true matte black is harder to keep clean and blemishes easier?
That is a bit of a controversial question. Some say it is more difficult to keep clean. As someone who owns a couple of matte black helmets as well as a matte black superbike I would say the finish is no more difficult to KEEP clean than any other helmet. To CLEAN one of these helmets is actually a little bit easier than other helmets since you DO NOT use any chemicals to clean the surface. simply use a warm, wet wash cloth and thats really about it (sometimes some none abrasive soaps to get rid of bugs). no coating it anything like water repellents or solvents. my helmets are kept immaculate. No scrubbing = no scratching.

The perforated doesn't come in black?
The Delmar Non-Perforated has a black colour and I'm wondering why this one does not or if Dainese hasn't rolled them out yet.
Unfortunately, it does NOT come in all black. I comes in two colors in the perf version
(white/black, black/white). Dainese will custom build this jacket direct from the manufacturer in any color(s) you want. It runs 20% higher in price but its more personalized and well worth it. I ordered mine that way.
