The V Neck Wave Jacket is undoubtedly the product that best expresses all the potential of the Neck Collection. The V Neck Wave Jacket is the evolution of the already tried-and-tested Wave Safety Jacket Wave with the integration of the revolutionary Neck cervical support, the system developed to provides riders' necks with additional support. The V Neck Wave Jacket accompanies every movement of the neck and provides it with support against both the wind and jerky movement while riding in order to provide safety and assurance without precedence in any riding position The V Neck Wave Jacket now offers a protective system completed by the Neck support, which can be worn alone or beneath other Dainese items.
Pros: Excellent abrasion and impact resistance that can be worn over a shirt or sweatshirt, depending on the temp. Have an old dainese safety 21 jacket that saved my life in a crash that prevented fatal internal injuries plus road rash on my back and forearms and the newer Wave neck provides even more protection so I highly recommend it for street/track riding. It's comfortable in the heat and cold.
Cons: Stitching on the upper right stretch panel connecting to the back protector came loose and I wound up double stitching both sides to be safe.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I'm 5'11, 145lb and wear a t-pro back and wrap around chest protector under a Medium size.
I wear the armor all the time, instead of a leather jacket, because in my experience it offers more impact protection and plenty of abrasion resistance, my old armor is still usable even after a crash at 60mph. The new back armor has an aluminum honeycomb crunch zone that would need to be replaced unlike my old armor.

By Martin from Denmark on 08/13/2007
Pros: The armor fits very well and is very confortable. You can easyly wear it above your regular clothing. Its not heavy and the neck-protection does not bother you at all.
Cons: The price is harsh (expecially when the Danish authorities gets their hands on it: +30% !!!)
Since I ride a lot with this armour without any jacket above, I do miss pockets :)
I had to wait for more than one month for this item.
(but okay, they had to first import it from Italy - and they did inform me well on this issue)
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: The mesh is very flexible, so I find it to fit quite well on me, my brother, his girlfriend - it even fits my mother. The only concern one should have to size is whether the back-shield covers your spine - it does for me. Size Large and height 184 cm.
Comments: I really like riding with this armour without jacket, since you really feel free and get so much more fresh air. It is not that cold (not even at night) and when you stop and the sun tries to fry... (Read the rest of this review)

Crash tested in NYC traffic
By nycmoto from NY on 04/25/2007
Pros: Sturdy mesh, strong plastic, great fit that doesn't shift under a jacket
Cons: Mesh leaves imprint patterns on my arm if I don't wear underarmor underneath them :)
Comments: Riding around NYC, on the cross-bronx, and triborough is many riders' worst nightmare, yet many of us call it home. I've been involved in two serious crashes over the years, and both times I was... (Read the rest of this review)
