Average Customer Rating:4.5 out of 5 (based on 7 ratings)
The Zentex cloth jacket is the perfect synthesis of a Dainese AWA range product: extremely technical, attractive, and above all, intelligent. All Weather Ability is a new approach developed by Dainese that consists in the providing the capability to ride motorcycles in under any weather conditions at all, especially when the heat might discourage users from getting into the saddle. The use of high-strength Piston fabric and a heavy-duty Nylon for the fretted fabric provides the Zentex jacket with ample areas that have been completely fretted with vents in the chest, back and arms without compromising elevated capacity for protection. This exploits the natural circulation of air created during riding to offer a truly unbelievable and unique combination of freshness and safety. A competitive price is the finale touch that makes the Zentex jacket irresistible for those who wish to use it as a second jacket during the warmer months, while combination with the new wind-cheater. Pile Fuzu Vest or Pile Baltor Vest expands the range of use further to face even the drastic changes in temperature that occur in the mountains with serenity. In terms of aesthetics, the seven colour versions are sure to satisfy the tastes of anyone at all.
Pros: Works as advertised. Good fit for medium to slim build. I stand 5'9" at 160 with a 35-inch waist and I ordered the size 54. My leather Dainese "Carl Fogarty" model is a 52 and fits the same.
Cons: Could use an inside zippered pocket....
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Have been wearing this jacket since late April and now that our New England weather is hot and humid [August as I write this], have to say that this jacket does the job of staying cooler yet feeling protected with the included CE body armour. Very good jacket suitable for all but the coldest of days. This is a very strong alternative to vented leather jackets, which I also use, but now this is my preferred choice.

Keeps u cool
By Mati-O from Chicago, IL on 03/07/2008
Pros: This is way better than the AIrFlux jacket as far as feeling safe in a summer jacket. There are no zipper openings at the wrists so use short gloves. Very Very ventilated. Almost see through. As light as a fleece sweater.
Cons: Only tight at the very bottom around the waist. not too much. Break out the ab-blaster.
Sizing Info: Fits 1 size smaller
Additional Sizing Notes: Good fitting but tight at the very bottom only. If your slim at the waist no cons.

By Anonymous from Cayman Islands on 09/26/2007
Pros: Good stitching! The ventilation is ok. I crashed at 60 mph in this jacket and it held together with ease. The armor does its job really well! I got up and walked off without a scratch on me. Just scratched up me ego. hehehe!
Cons: The fabric around the arms Iritated my skin! I had to wear long sleeve shirts in order to feel comfy. The ventilation can be improved!

Fantastic summer jacket
By Eric from Los angeles, CA on 08/13/2007
Pros: Incredible wind penetration, stays REALLY cool, very very light. Still has some shoulder and elbow protection, and if you buy the G back protecter, decent back protection within the jacket.
Cons: For a textile jacket, no cons.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: I'm normally a 56 in leather Dainese because they stretch, but I went with a 58 in this and it fits perfect. Perhaps 1 size small if you're bigger in the chest/shoulders.
Comments: I bought this for warm-weather (80 degree plus) riding, and I love this jacket. It's light, moves a ton of air through the chest, arms and back using a cool mesh thing - hard to describe -... (Read the rest of this review)
