DaineseNew Drake Air

You get what you pay for when it comes to protection, but these are well worth the price. I had $150 kevlar-reinforced cotton pants with knee foam "armor" and thought they were all the protection I'd need until I went down at 50 mph this summer. The seems where I impacted immediately blew out, thankfully I didn't slide much because I flew off the side of the canyon road and tumbled down the mountain into trees and brush which broke my fall with no major injuries.After getting over my PTSD I bought these Dainese pants, which have actual reinforced knee and shin armor. The difference between the two pairs of pants is very obvious when you look at them side by side. These aren't racing leathers but I actually feel protected on the freeway.They look pretty damn good and although they're too hot for peak summer riding, for the rest of the year they're great.

I tested them pretty good, went down a couple of times on a dirt road in a Tiger1200 and these pants saved me and didn't even get damaged! Amazing product!

I bought and now wear these pants on my daily commute. They are a true European cut, form fitting, but extremely comfortable when you wear the right size. These are NOT overpants. The armor is great, it covers your knees and shins while riding, and the hip protection is an added bonus. Overall the pants are extremely well made, durable and provide excellent protection. They also zip into my Dainese jacket, which I really like.I've worn these in temperatures as high as 95 degrees and as low as 40. The vents are adequate for higher temperatures, but they will be hot if you're not aggressively positioned on your bike. For lower temps, I simply wear a base layer with the vents closed, and that's it.For what I need them for, commuting and long rides in general, these are superb all-around riding pants. But then, I expect high quality from Dainese!

Good fit. I have a 33 inch waist. Has the zipper to fit to my Dianese jacket. Not sure how the air flow will be through the smallish knee vents. I like that they have a zippered closing flap to block the air flow when it is cloud in the morning and then can be opened when it warms up. My old Drake pants have a lot more air flow with no flaps to close. I plan to use them on shorter rides that start when it is already hot and use the new ones on longer rides that start in the morning when it is cooler here in the pacific northwest and then warms up in the afternoon. Should be good for trips over the north cascades hi-way (20) to eastern washington that start out cold (40's) and get into the 90's.

Near excellent everyday riding pants, stylishly Italian, excellent fit and workmanship. My criticisms are the padding is not removable and often shifts placement with movement. Despite its ventilation, you’ll eventually experience swamp ass because they get hot.

Zipper is broken. Seems like I received a piece returned by someone else.

Great for bike riding, offer good ventilation for warm climate.

Great pants, look nice and you can tell they will provide the protection needed. Only con is they were not as flexible as I expected

Erfüllt alle ErwartungenNur auf Größe achten fällt etwas kleiner aus aber alles im grünen Bereich.

Acquistati per le uscite invernali. Che dire...rispondono perfettamente alle aspettative. Zero vento, zero freddo (provati con intimo termico di media qualità) e zero problemi. L'unico difetto forse è la rigidezza per i movimenti...ma bisogna trovare un compromesso se soprattutto non si vuole rinunciare alle protezioni sulle ginocchia e sul bacino. Le taglie corrispondono perfettamente alle usuali di vestiario, forse sono un pò più corti ma penso perché siano pensati per essere infilati negli stivali. Io personalmente li ho indossati esterni alle metropolis della Dainese e non ho sofferto di spifferi alle caviglie (c'erano circa 6/7°). Consigliati per chi non vuole privarsi delle uscite invernali.

Grandios. Ich schreibe dir Rezension weil ich durch andere Rezension auf anderen Portalen herausgefunden habe wie es mir der Größe läuft und ob die Hose zu anderen Dainese Jacken kompatibel ist.Etwas schwierig die perfekte Größe zu finden aber wenn man sich an der Größentabelle von Dainese orientiert dann stimmt es, auch wenn es anfangs Skeptik aufkommen lässt.Habe die Hose in Größe 58 bestellt (regulär 54 oder 56 locker) und sie passt perfekt.Zu meiner Größe, bin 188cm groß, 111 Kilo schwer, Dank Corona und dem Leben als Genussmensch einen leichten Bauchansatz aber sonst muskulös gebaut mit relativ breiten Schultern und Armen.Habe im Taille/Hüftbereich 105cm/110cm Brustumfang 125cm. Regulär habe ich Hosenweite 36, im Alltag 32er Länge bzw 34 Länge auf dem Motorrad oder umgeschlagen.Die Hose ist mit Becken- und Schienenbeinprotektoren (größere bzw längere als bei meinen anderen Hosen) ausgestattet. An den Knien kann man die Lüftungsschlitze/-klappen öffnen und mit einem Knopfdruckverschluss an der Hose befestigen. Die Hose ist etwas kürzer geschnitten und unten zulaufend schmaler, perfekt um sie in die Stiefel rein zustopfen.Der Verbindungsreißverschluss passt perfekt zu meiner Dainese Laguna seca 3 Jacke (die ich mit meinem P Probiker Rückenprotektor ausgestattet habe und er passt, somit 70 Euro gespart für den original Protektor), die den selben Stoff und Farbe aufweist. Somit eine perfekte Textilkombi die einer Wassersäule von 20.000 standhält und die Frühling Sommer und Herbst kompatibel ist.

I wanted a pair of Dainese summer pants to zip to the Dainese Air Frame vented jacket for use in the summer months. I went with the same EU 52 sizing as the Dainese Air Frame jacket after downloading sizing charts and I can confirm the pants are true to size. There is ample adjustment for the waist and the zip to jacket feature is very welcome.The flaps on the knees work well when moving but the press buttons that secure the flaps in the open position spoil the otherwise neat look of the pants. The knee and hip CE protectors feels comfortable but they appear to be a little loose in their pockets.These pants are so comfortable that you could easily wear them with a pair of thermals and a leather or heavy textile jacket in the cooler months - just make sure the knee flaps are closed.The only minor negative is the difference in fabric compared to the Dainese Air Frame Textile Jacket but this would only be a consideration if you were after a matched 2 piece set look like the BMW riding gear.These pants are not available in Australian retail stores so I purchased them from Amazon UK. The price was right and the speed of delivery was awesome. Within 1 week, the pants arrived on my doorstep as a well packaged parcel.Highly recommended pants that make a change from the usual Kevlar jeans and the too hot leather pants.
