Hi, looking for feedback from anyone with Dainese 2 piece leathers. I am looking at Laguna seca or avro. What's the main differences?? Is the Laguna worth the extra £s? Regards James
On the Dainese web site they have a list of symbols for each suit. Main difference seems to be the Avro is more an all year round touring suit. I bought my Dainese 2 piece branded for Ducati but then all my riding kit is Dainese both leather and fabric because it does the job. Andy
I'm looking at the same ones. I would like the ones with the thermal liner but they are big money! This is the one I want, think it's a d1
The Laguna seca is a more straight fit, and also has the thermal liner which is really useful for colder evenings, the Avro (I think) and the D1 I pictured are slim fit and a more race cut I think
The Avro fits quite snugly with a slim fit - a bit too slim really. Very comfortable even on long rides. Zips together really well. Not enough pockets, only one pocket in the jacket. Good for warm weather, but in cold weather you need another good layer. The shoulder, elbow and knee armour is good, the back not so much. The waistband of the trousers is not really elastic enough to keep them up properly - I modified them so I can attach braces. I wear Sidi boots which go with the suit quite well, I think.
I'm planning on driving down to Dainese Manchester next month (live in Glasgow). I'm quite stocky built, broad up top ect. 5,9. 13.5stone. Slim fit is a no go area! I love the look of Dainese and would like to couple the suit with there in boots.
Maybe look at alpinestar, I'm 14stone, quite even build and found the trousers snug but the jacket quite loose across the shoulders (size 54) and arms, my mate also finds the same thing and he is about 13.5st and a little shorter than me
I'm in alpinestars the now, jacket is ok but the trousers are I bit tight and restrictive at the thighs and crotch. I wouldn't say I'm a bit guy but everything seems to be made to fit really skinny guys. I recently had problems finding jeans to fit! Nothing but straight cut fitted!!
Italian brand stuff mate, it is all cut with small legs, throw a 54 from someone like RST and it will be like wearing a pair of jogging bottoms, I think I'll have to go 56 to get my tree trunk thighs in
It's not like I have huge legs!! Play a bit of ice hockey so a bit of muscle.. Nothing crazy. I'm a 32-33 waist. End up having to buy 34 waists and wear a belt just so my thighs and arse fit in!!! Hoping if I drive down the the Manchester store they will have enough for my to try on and find something that fits
I have the Laguna seca which is a two piece race suit complete with hump. It's not the warmest of suits but a good under suit I find is enough to take the edge off. It's quite snug initially but a few squats / rides loosens it up nicely. Best suit I've had, prefer it to my one piece.
When you say not the warmest.... Is that with the liner in?? I wear under armour gear anyway ( always cold up her in Scotland lol)
Why don't you pop into Ducati Glasgow and try on their range of Ducati branded Dainese stuff ? Give you a heads up on sizes before going all the way to Manchester. Andy
Mine don't have a removable liner if that's what you mean? Just the suit lining. I have this one, bought from this retailer. Dainese Laguna Seca Evo Professional Two Piece Leather Suit | P&H Motorcycles Ltd
