Dainese Air Crono 2 Jacket Review at RevZilla.com

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

By the way, the jacket looks better than the previous iteration and it looks like it'd flow more air than its direct competitor from Alpinestars (but A* uses 600-denier polyester on impact areas). I also love how Dainese has finally implemented the two-pocket design for the chest armor; this's been a much-needed redesign on many of their jackets. I'm foreseeing the Air Crono 2 being a bestseller for this coming summer. No doubt.

Why is there a decrease in blue color scheme for their products? I wish there were more blue products. I wouldve bought a few of them if they were in blue already. Do you know if they will release this in blue in the future? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

It's a bit of a Catch 22 scenario. They decrease the blue options, because blue options don't sell as well. But then there aren't blue options for those who want blue. Therefore, it's unlikely they'll make this in blue. -DrewZilla

[@gencayakyuz9042]

would you recomend this jacket for 150 euro?

[@micko9111]

41.5” chest and 16”arms would size 52 be ok? I’m concerned with my arms not fitting in the size 50

[@ScrewedGT06]

No pockets for the shoulder pads. They’re just Velcro-ed in. They’re terrible. There’s no fleece on the inside of the collar so that’s also very uncomfortable. I love the look, airflow, and price but those two issues really bother me.

I recently lowsided a few weeks ago I. This jacket and they stayed in place just fine. The only design failure I found, the hard way, is the mesh on the back side of the sleeve. I went down around 40-45mph and where the mesh joins the solid panels ripped/melted away taking the armor out of the sleeve. The armor took the brunt of the damage leaving me with a dime size spot of road rash near my elbow but otherwise unharmed. I just ordered the Bora Air yesterday as a replacement as it also has chest armor pockets (which came in handy in my case) as well as a full denier sleeve excluding the front of the forearms.

[@xScheletrozz]

This one or the air frame d1?

[@RevZilla]

The Air Frame D1 has slightly stronger textile, but it's also slightly more expensive. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-frame-d1-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-crono-2-jacket

[@flaviusmoldovan4715]

So, has the jacket no back protection or did I just miss the part where it was mentioned?

[@RevZilla]

Like most riding jackets, there is a pocket for a back protector, but the back protector is sold separately. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-pro-armor-g-back-protector *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-crono-2-jacket

[@stevebevan5104]

Velcro around the beard area, I don't know about that. Also looks very short. Maybe he should have a bigger size?

[@abyedrikn]

yeah I didnt care about the neck comment went ahead and bought this but I understood I made a big mistake because that neck velcro is a reaaaaallly shitty design. It is longer than my leather jackets so I would call it short although its not a full adv jacket I'd say it leans more towards adventure rather than sport. Mine also felt like right arm was a tad taller than the left which was so bizarre, I ended up returning it and bought an air frame d1.

[@PYROPerspective]

Do gauntlet style gloves work with a jacket like this? Since the Armour goes all the way down the forearm?

[@myronmosley2167]

Would it be unsafe to buy one a size bigger? I'm asking because it's a little tight fitting for my taste.

[@RevZilla]

Loose gear is inherently less safe since the armor can move out of the way, BUT if you can't focus on the road because your gear is uncomfortable than it is not doing its job. Follow your heart and get the gear and sizing that you think fits your ride best. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Gear Geeks at [e-mail] or 877.792.9455. Ride safe, -Pat

[@myronmosley2167]

@@RevZilla thanks. I was just curious. I'd rather be safe than look cool. I was just curious

[@MotorcycleGearHub]

It's important to highlight whether the 350-denier D-Synth is polyamide (e.g. nylon) or polyester (BIG difference). I'm contacting Dainese to clear this out; I'm pretty sure of the answer already gauging from the video's close shots of the jacket but I don't want to speculate. Been some time since I last looked up all the material blends used by Dainese. Can you confirm if the D-Synth 350 is polyamide or polyester? I'll update this too. Thanks.

[@RevZilla]

From what I've researched it seems it's a polyester and nylon blend, but mostly polyester I think. -DrewZilla

[@willemzimmer9865]

Hey, Is the D-Synth 350 material this is made from actually worth anything in a slide? Thanks!

[@RevZilla]

Yes, the D-Synth 350 is designed to be abrasion resistant in the event of a slide, but there unfortunately is no data that we have access to in regards to the performance of a slide. Hopefully the next edition will have more information in regards to the newest CE standards which help relate slide time to a crash. - Pat

[@nickhouse2787]

Hey i bought this jacket and the double chest protector doesn’t fit in the pockets,can i do something about it?

[@RevZilla]

It turns out that the production version of the jacket only fits the newer, Pro Armor Chest Protectors, not the "Double Chest Protectors". Those new protectors are linked below but are currently out of stock. We hope to get more soon though. Alpinestars' Nucleon Chest Protectors also fit pretty well in their larger size. If you ordered the chest protectors from RevZilla and they're in brand new condition, you can certainly return them. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-pro-armor-chest-protector *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-nucleon-kr-ci-chest-protector-inserts

[@nickhouse2787]

RevZilla sadly I didn’t buy them from you,but thanks for being so helpful.Also,I squeezed them a bit and they did fit much better,and i feel them where they need to be.

[@hattorneyonwheels]

Hi. I've tried size 50 and fits perfectly. 52 is a bit loose on the arms. However, I plan to have front and back protectors. Should I go for a 50 or better with a 52? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

I would suggest going with the the 50, we typically do not see the need to size up to accommodate armor. I hope that helps! -Zack

[@hattorneyonwheels]

@@RevZilla Thanks for the response, Zack. Appreciate it

hi! what's your measurements? I'm not sure if im a 50 or 52, basically for height, i'm near 6'2" and 165lb

Am I allowed to put a Pro-Armor back protector inside this jacket? I really can't find out

Yes, it will fit a Pro Armor Back Protector Insert. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-pro-armor-g-back-protector

[@OverPaul]

Thank! Is the global airflow better than in Air Master model in your opinion? I dont' want to spend +100€ if the airflow is almost comparable.

[@RevZilla]

No, airflow is about the same. The Air Master uses stronger textile. -DrewZilla

[@maskdavid1991]

@RevZilla hey any other brands that make a vented jacket like this with chest and back protection? (if dainese only pro armor front and back like this one, except isn't this the only one from dainese?) the REV'IT! Tornado 2 Jacket only has back protection, also I noticed no more white drake air pants, is the next top of the range white summer pants the REV'IT! Tornado 2 Silver Pants? Thanks

[@RevZilla]

The Tornado 2 Pants are actually stronger than the Drake Super Air Pants, and you can wear a separate chest protector with the Tornado 2 Jacket to get that chest coverage if you want. That would be my choice, as there aren't enough light-colored mesh jackets unfortunately. Alpinestars offers chest armor pockets for many of their mesh jackets, but all are mostly black in color. *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/forcefield-elite-chest-protector *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-tornado-2-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-tornado-2-pants

I've been dying waiting for this to get back into stock for the black/red forever. Will it ever come back?

[@bman8147]

Which pants would you recommend with the crono 2. I just ordered this jacket. Also, I have a Dianese leather jacket that is a size 56... I order the Crono 2 in the same size. Should the leather and mesh fit the same?

[@RevZilla]

The leather jacket might be slightly slimmer and tighter, but leather will stretch a little bit over time. As for pants, I recommend the Drake Super Air and New Drake Air Pants. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-drake-super-air-tex-pants *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-new-drake-air-textile-pants

[@flaviusmoldovan4715]

So, has the jacket no back protection or did I just miss the part where it was mentioned?

[@bman8147]

Flavius Moldovan no back protector included. You would have to purchase separately.

[@Miniorpernik]

Sup speed D dry reborn?Added back protection u say.Same as the d dry?

[@canon5dmarkiiii]

Doesn't look like there are much protection.

[@Quagmire88]

Air Crono or Air Master? Not really sure what the difference is other than the style/colors. Which one would you consider the better jacket?

[@RevZilla]

The Air Master uses stronger mesh compared to the Air Crono 2, so I'd lean towards the Air Master. -DrewZilla
