Product Information

Full details

The Dainese Air Frame 3 Tex Jacket is designed for female riders seeking a versatile, summer-weight motorcycle jacket with excellent ventilation and adaptable weather protection. Its key benefit is optimal thermal comfort during warm rides, thanks to extensive mesh panels, with the added advantage of a removable windproof lining for cooler conditions. A potential caveat is the need to purchase separate back and chest protectors for full safety compliance.

FAQs

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, the Dainese Air Frame 3 Tex Jacket is designed primarily for ventilation and is water-resistant rather than waterproof due to its extensive mesh construction. It is suitable for light rain, but for heavy downpours, additional waterproofing gear is recommended.

What size back protector do I need?

This jacket is compatible with Dainese G1 and G2 back protectors. G1 protectors are designed for smaller sizes (typically 40-48), while G2 protectors are for larger sizes (typically 50-62). Always check the specific sizing guide for Dainese protectors.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket includes a removable windproof lining which provides some warmth and wind resistance, making it suitable for cooler temperatures (around 50-65°F or 10-18°C) when layered appropriately. For true cold-weather riding, additional thermal layers or a different jacket may be necessary.

How do I clean the jacket?

It is recommended to hand wash the jacket in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Hang it to air dry away from direct heat and sunlight.

Are the shoulder and elbow protectors included?

Yes, the jacket comes with removable composite protectors for the shoulders and elbows.

What are the main advantages of the mesh inserts?

The mesh inserts are the jacket's primary feature for ventilation. They allow a significant amount of air to pass through the jacket, helping to regulate body temperature and keep the rider cool and comfortable during hot weather riding.

Can I attach any riding pants to this jacket?

Yes, the jacket features a jacket-to-trousers attachment system. This allows you to connect it to most Dainese motorcycle trousers equipped with a compatible zipper, providing a more secure and integrated riding suit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too warm on hot days.

Ensure the removable windproof lining is taken out. Maximize ventilation by opening all available vents and adjusting sleeve straps for better airflow.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Check for fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to realign the zipper teeth. Lubricate the zipper track with a silicone-based lubricant if needed.

Fit feels too loose or restrictive.

Utilize all adjustment points: neck, waistband, cuffs, and sleeves. Ensure the jacket is correctly sized for your body type and riding posture.

Water seeps through in heavy rain.

The mesh construction is designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. For heavy rain, ensure you have a separate waterproof outer layer or consider a different jacket model. The inner waterproof pocket will protect contents.
