FAQs

What is Auxagon protective technology?

Auxagon technology refers to Dainese's specialized protective system integrated into the vest, designed to absorb and dissipate impact forces during a fall.

Is this vest waterproof?

The vest is made from a nylon and elastane blend and is not designed to be waterproof. It is intended as a protective mid-layer, not an outer shell.

How do I clean the Dainese Auxagon Ski Vest?

Hand wash with mild detergent in cold water. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry.

Can I wear this vest without a ski jacket?

While possible, the vest is designed and optimized to be worn under a ski jacket for complete protection and optimal thermal regulation.

What is the primary benefit of the Crash Absorb memory foam?

The Crash Absorb memory foam provides additional cushioning and comfort, enhancing the overall feel of the vest while also contributing to impact absorption.

How does the lightweight construction benefit me?

The lightweight construction ensures that the vest does not add unnecessary bulk or weight, allowing for greater freedom of movement and preventing fatigue during skiing.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consult the sizing chart and try the vest on with your typical ski base layers. The vest should be snug but allow for deep breaths and full range of motion.

Discomfort from the protective panels.

Verify that the vest is oriented correctly and the protective technology is positioned over the intended areas of the back. Minor adjustments in fit might alleviate pressure points.

Reduced breathability or feeling too warm.

Ensure the front zip is partially or fully open for ventilation. Check that your underlayers are also moisture-wicking. The vest's fabric is breathable, but active ventilation is key.
