FAQs
What is the main material of the Avro 5 jacket?
The jacket is primarily constructed from a robust D-Synth 350 fabric, which is a type of nylon known for its durability and protective qualities.
Does the jacket come with back and chest protectors?
The jacket includes removable composite protectors for the shoulders and elbows. It has pockets designed to accommodate optional Dainese G1/G2 back protectors and chest protectors, which must be purchased separately.
Is the jacket suitable for all weather conditions?
The jacket offers good adaptability. It features ventilation zippers and a breathable mesh lining for warmer weather, and a removable thermal lining for colder conditions. However, it is not a fully waterproof garment.
How do I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to hand wash the jacket using cold water and mild detergent. Remove the protectors before washing. Avoid bleach and do not machine wash or dry clean. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is the 'Veloce racing collar'?
The Veloce racing collar is an ergonomic collar design inspired by MotoGP racing suits, intended to provide comfort and a secure fit around the neck.
How can I ensure a secure fit?
The jacket features adjustable straps at the waist and cuffs, and a jacket-trousers attachment system to connect securely with compatible Dainese pants, ensuring it stays in place during riding.
Are there reflective elements on the jacket?
Yes, the jacket includes reflective inserts designed to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the thermal lining is fully removed if desired. Adjust the fit using the waist and cuff adjustment tabs. Confirm you have selected the correct size; consider trying a different size if the fit remains problematic.
Ventilation is insufficient
Ensure ventilation zippers are fully open. Check that the mesh lining is not obstructed. In very hot weather, consider if additional cooling gear is needed.
Water seeps through seams
This is a textile jacket and is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, use a separate waterproof outer layer.

- Sporty yet functional design with multiple pockets.

Cons
