What can you say. Sometimes I notice it's there and others (while doing things I probably shouldn't) I don't feel it at all. Sure does make my jacket feel complete though. I have a dainese size 48 jacket and the G2 fits fine.

I bought these with the hard shorts to ride in under jeans. The knee guards really bulk up the legs and I'm on the smaller side and still felt that these fit rather small. I'm 5'8" 140lbs. I never felt like the fit was right and for casual protection they were way too intrusive. I'm not doing any thing crazy ie. stunting or really hitting the turns fast so IF YOUR IDEA IS TO GET THESE TO HIT UP YOUR LOCAL BIKE NIGHT AND JUST CRUSE AROUND they aren't really needed. Especially since the second you get off your bike they are very intrusive. I have the Dainses New Drake Air pants that have built in knee protection and I feel that the pants feel way more stable and protective than the guards under jeans.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I rode 550 miles in these one day. It was doable but opted not to ride in the shorts on the return. The cockix protection is the most noticeable part when riding. I keep expirementing on how high to pull up the shorts to fit and feal comfortable. I have some dainese New Drake Air pants that have some hip protection in and I like to wear them together. Over all, every time I put these on I figure it's better than nothing. That being said: I'm not sure how they would function in a crash, and let's hope I never find out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dainese New Drake Air Textile Pants Drake pants will surely interest anyone who loves to ride his or her bike especially in the warmer months without wearing a suit or leather pants in order to obtain the protection required. These previously contrasting needs have now been perfectly reconciled by Drake fabric pants. Ample air vents in fretted fabric with closing on the thighs permit fresh air to enter during riding for cooling relief on even the hottest days. When temperatures begin to drop, the air vents can be closed. Safety is guaranteed by removable composite protections in the knee and shins, while extra-strength Cordura 750 fabric offers protection in case of fall. The elastic inserts in the knee optimise the wearability of the article, which is equally suited to metropolitan motorcycle use. Features Removable composite protectors. Cordura fabric 750. Suretta fabric. Perforated fabric. Insert in elasticated fabric. Soft inserts. Calf zip. Jacket-trousers fastening system. Adjustable waist. Sanityzed lining.

I Got these pants from a buddy. I'm 5'8 / 138lbs with a 29'" waist. The pants are size 48 and fit perfectly everywhere but the waist. I wouldn't want to go any smaller in size because the lenght would be too short and the legs would be too tight especially when sitting on the bike. I have a leather Dainese jacket in size 48 and they zip together perfectly ( I can even put them on independently then zip together ). Overall the price is just too steep for the fit that they offer. I'd expect better padding in the hips and knees for that price as well.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Good gloves. Need lots of break in though and are really warm. Soo much leather that tends to bunch in the area where your fingers meet your hand (especially when wrapped around the grips.) I do have a feeling that these gloves are going to last an eternity and they do still fit under my jacket cuffs when riding. And I'd consider my arm lenght on the jacket short: meaning I would have expected the gloves to pop out of the sleeve occasionally, but they haven't.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Dainese Freddie Leather Jacket
The distinctive graphics of this vintage split leather jacket give a rereading to the history-making suit worn by Freddie Spencer (pictured) and evoke the Dainese heritage.

The jacket-pants fastening zipper and the ample side and neck adjustment possibilities ensure comfort and ergonomics. Protection Composite protectors certified to EN 1621.197. Abrasion and Tear Resistance Vintage leather. Comfort Ergonomics Jacket-trousers fastening system. Adjustment strap on neck. Waist adjustment Temperature Regulation Fixed 3D-bubble linerair spaces. Sanitized lining. Perforated leather. Other Pocket for Wave G1 and G2. Reflective inserts. Internal pocket. 2 outside pockets.

I've tried on a couple of Dainese jackets before. I felt like i was in between a 46-48 for leather. I'm 5'8" 140 and usually a 36/38 short suit jacket. I did measure my chest just at my nipples and was right at 37.75". I ordered this in a 48 and was initially a little concerned about how snug it was in the arms. I guess picking up my 2yr old 80,000 times a day gives the old pipes a work out. I tried it on with several articles of clothing before I rode in it. What convinced me in the end was that I could get a micro fleese under the jacket and still feel like I could ride in it. After a few rides the jacket is really starting to take it's shape for me. The padding does shift a bit but settles where it needs to be after a good ride. It is the vintage leather so it looks a bit different in person. I'd recommend this jacket for everyday riding protection and maybe some scattered track use in a pinch. The ultimate bonus is that I know absolutely no one in my area is going to be sporting this jacket and the black, white, magnesium is spot on for a new black with grey stripe Monster 1100 Evo.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Do these have a hinge where they bend at the knee like the MSR reflex knee?
No mechanical hinge perse. They are pretty straight forward. Look at the picture and what you see is what you get. The hard plates are linked together by the fabric. I'm assuming your a hipster by the fact that you list Cafe Racer as your rider type. That being said, you probably wear those hipster skinner jeans all the kids are wearing these days. Ya might go a size up on the pants to fit these knee pads in. Truth be told, I like wearing riding pants with built in CE protection much better than these knee pads. Food for thought.

Is this good for weath that range from 50-95 degrees?
I live in upper state ny and the look of this jacket caught my eye. I'm looking at this and the turmac revi it but leaning to this because of price and the 3 season the video speaks about but i leave 5am where its 50 degrees and then when i ride back around 3pm its around 80 to upper 90s.
Depends on what kind of person you are. For me I'd rather be hot than cold. that being said even in a non perf leather jacket with a base layer and a micro fleese underneath I'm still cold on the highways at 60 degrees ambient. Sure I'm sweating at 90 deg in the same jacket but it doesn't bother me nearly as much as the cold weather. I think a better 3 season temp rating on a jacket is really from 65 deg to 90 degrees. Anything colder I'd recommend a heated suite, anything warmer go fabric jacket. When you fluctuate temps that much layer up and even then you'll probably have to sacrifice comfort somewhere.

why is the smallest size u have on ur jacket A 44..IM a medium and my understanding is thats a 42?
Check the manufactures sizing chart. I think you are comparing apples to oranges. Sure a US 42 chest size is a meduim, For Dainese though, I'll use myself as an example: US size 38 short jacket for a sport coat size translated to a Dainese size 48 motorcycle jacket. I'm 5'8" 140lbs with a broad shoulders ie swimmers build.

Arai Profile Diamond Helmet
Arai Profile Diamond Helmet The Profile's unique look isn't for cosmetics. It has a distinct purpose rooted in the Arai company's philosophy and 50-year obsession with change for the sake of improvement, not vanity. For example, the Profile's distinctive Hyper-Ridge reinforcement band along the bottom of the outer shell is for reinforcement and added shell strength, including the area around the lower rear exhaust vents. The overall helmet shape represents Arai's newest organic shaping concept narrower, sleeker, more aerodynamic instead of round and bulbous. Its purpose is to fit the rider's head shape better, to feel more 'calm' in the wind, even when the rider turns his or her head while riding. For all of our science and pursuit of 'perfect protection', Arai's mission is to make riders more comfortable and happy when they're riding. To make them forget they are even wearing a helmet. Long-oval fit Brow Vent Faceshield Ventilation System provides cooling air in upper face area without holesin critical forehead area of the shell or in the impact-absorbing liner material Optically-correct pre-formed faceshieldsbetter vision, UV ray protection with less distortion De-Mist Lock faceshield tab pushes forward to open the shield slightlyhelps clear fogging Removable Breathguardreduces fogging by deflecting breath away from faceshield CLC (Complex Laminate Construction) shellfiberglass composite is stronger andlighterallows use of softer, less-dense liner materials inside for increased rider comfort FFS (FreeFlow System)reduces wind turbulence while increasing the exhaust of hot airfrom the facial area Dual Intake/Dual Exhaust Ventilationdual TDF-2 top intake vents and DDL-3bridged exhaust vents designed to draw significant volume of air from helmet interior Multiple-Foam Interiors for comfort Rear Exhaust Channel and Vent adds a racy look while drawing hot air from helmet interior Fully removable liner and cheek pads Enhanced pull down chin spoiler, increases exhaust of hot breath to minimize shield fogging Meets or exceeds Snell M2010 and D.O.T. standards

How do these fit with full size boots?
I have the Dainese Race Torque Outs and I am wondering how the shin protection area will fit with the boots. How long is the protector from the top to bottom? Is the top strap above the knee as well?
3 straps total per side. 1: above the knee, 1:below the joint. 1: at the ankle. These guards go way low. Def under the boot. you should be all right though. Ultimately, you won't wear these under riding pants, and if your riding in a way in which you feel you need the protection then I'd recommend getting some motorcycle specific pants.
