nice review as always but let me give you a friendly advice.I have almost the same body measurements with Bryan and I can say from real life having owned a few dainese jackets that Bryan is at least 54.Especially this jacket as all touring jackets must be a little more "roomy" to invite both chest and back protectors.The same go with the leathers.With 52 suit you cannot even grab the clipons with the extra inner protectors...In alpinestars yes 52 is the right size
How would this jacket perform during the summer compared to the Revit Sand 3? Im less worried about the rain protection and looking for more cooling during the summer. The sand 3 rain liner is fully removable, however the dainese seems to fit better compared to the sand 3. Is this able to stretch to four seasons with 25C to 30C summers or would a sand 3 be much better and eliminate the needd for a mesh jacket entirely?
The Sand 3 is way better vented for summertime. Since this Dainese only vents to the waterproof liner, it's a bit hot for summer. If you like the fit of Dainese but want the features of the Sand 3, definitely look at the X-Tourer. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-x-tourer-d-dry-jacket
I really love this jacket in full black color. Could you please review the dainese cyclone? Is this carve master longer or shorter than the cyclone?. Im going to move from the gator gtx to the master or cyclone as I need one size bigger....
The Carve Master 2 and Cyclone are around the same length. The main difference is that the Cyclone has a more breathable laminated Gore-Tex membrane compared to the Carve Master 2. -DrewZilla
The main Mugello fabric textile on the body is the same on the Carve Master 2, but the 3D Stone fabric used on the shoulders and elbows is stronger than the previous jacket. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-carve-master-2-gore-tex-jacket
It uses Dainese's CE Level 1 composite armor, and due to its shape and how it's attached, it cannot be upgraded easily. The armor is still good, and the jacket's abrasion resistance is really good, so I wouldn't try to change the armor. -DrewZilla
Dainese does not offer a Level 2 chest protector, so it takes the Level 1 Double Chest Protectors. The back can fit the Level 2 Pro Armor though. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-double-chest-protectors *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-pro-armor-g-back-protector
This jacket is supposed to have room for a double chest protector, the 2 items. I have the jacket and the insert but cant for the life of me get these chest protectors to fit in.
I haven't had my hands on the Carve Master 2 specifically, but Dainese has been hiding the chest protector pocket in odd places recently. Usually it's at the bottom of the jacket, a zip pocket opens up that allows you to reach up inside. They're notoriously hard to find but if you pop out the liner and throw it on the table, you should be able to get at it eventually. -Kraus-e
@@RevZilla I have the same problem - I have this jacket in hand and I don't see any pockets large enough to hold the Dianese chest protector. I suspect Dianese website may be wrong and these aren't supported. It can't be in the gore-tex shell, and there just aren't any mesh pockets to hold them.
If you are referring to D-Dry, the Tempest 2 D-Dry Jacket would be the comparison. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-tempest-2-d-dry-jacket
how to clean this jacket? If it's all in insects? Can I put it in the washing machine and wash it? Will the washing machine break the gore-tex membrane?
You must first remove the thermal liner and remove all the armor. You can then use a front-loading washing machine on the gentle cycle with cold water. You should also use a cleaner like Nikwax Tech Wash, which does not leave a residue like regular detergent. There are also care instructions on a label in the jacket. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nikwax-tech-wash
RevZilla I wrote an e-mail to Dainese and wrote back to me: ,,We always suggest to our customers to follow the washing instructions written on the internal black label inside the jacket, in order to avoid to damage the jacket. If you put the jacket in the washing machine, you are most likely to damage the internal gore tex membrane. " And what you say????
Dainese is certainly right to be cautious in their recommendations. Many other brands allow machine washing on a Gentle Cycle for Gore-Tex, but it seems Dainese prefers to be more careful. To be as careful as possible, you can wash the jacket by hand with Nikwax Tech Wash and drip dry. -DrewZilla
Like most jackets, this has a pocket for a back protector, but the back protector is not included. For good protection, you would purchase a Manis D1 G Back Protector Insert (G1 or G2 size is based on the jacket size). -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-carve-master-2-gore-tex-jacket *www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-manis-d1-g-back-protector-insert
Just bought one, RST Pro is 30% cheaper and much better. RST has twin front zips, not one zip and press studs. RST better bigger pockets, the Dainese has crap shallow pockets. You can see Dainese chose to use smaller zips and press studs where they can to save money. That collar too just pulls off whenever you pick the jacket up. Don't waste your money on this jacket, you are paying for the name, that's all.
Thats like asking why are Triumph motorcycles "so expensive" when compared to a whole load of other bikes.? It's because the Triumph bikes and the Dainese jacket are both proven high end quality items ... simples! 😀
RevZilla i have the jacket and the double chest protectors, but I can’t fit them in pockets, or maybe I can’t find the openings for hidden pockets maybe?
HVB is typically a 52. Sometimes we'll throw him in a pair of Spanx and squeeze him into whatever size we were provided for demo purposes, though. -TeamZilla Chris
What. He looks fucking fit and stylish. Hate when you have this kind of loose tex jacket on. This one looks spot on, what the hell are you talking about.
The Napoleon pockets at 6:28 are mot storage compartments, they are double chest armor pockets.
I own this jacket. It's a really good 3 season option. It's not cool enough for hot temperatures. But it's waterproof and very comfortable.
Is this GoreTex laminate or a Gore Tex inner liner?
@@poonchild its a liner so 2nd layer is goretex.
Til what temprature wil could you wear it without getting to hot?
@@poonchild Point blank is not waterproof!
Andy say that Brian is wearing size 52 but when he open the jacket to show the interior one can see size 50... impossible
Come on Dainese start putting CE level 2 protectors in your equipment, Rev'it is doing it in stuff that is virtually half the price.
Hello how are you

john al totally agree. I’m the same size and the 52 was way to small with a back protector in and just a t shirt underneath
Hi-Viz Bryan is wearing a size 50 (size tag is visible when he opens jacket? Does it accept chest and back protectors?
Thunder Rider Yes, it does you can find that out by clicking on the product link.
We should note that Brian is wearing a SAMPLE size 50, which is closer to a production size 52. -DrewZilla
How do you know this?
Hello, which one is better. The D-CYCLONE gore tex, or garve master 2? Thank you
The D-Cyclone is arguably the better jacket, as it uses a laminated Gore shell. -DrewZilla

What level kind of armour does this jacket have on the shoulders and elbows? Is it worth upgrading and if it is what would you recommend cheers

Is this good for summer?
Hi , I have the crve master 2 . what type of Level 2 back and chest protector will fit to this jacket. My jacket size is 50. Thank you
Dainese does not offer a Level 2 chest protector, so it takes the Level 1 Double Chest Protectors. The back can fit the Level 2 Pro Armor though. -DrewZilla

Hi,is this jacket compatible with Dainese Wave D1 Back Protector?
It is, yes. Dainese jackets typically have two pockets in them, the smaller one should fit the Wave protector best. -Kraus-e
Is this jacket compatible with dainese amsterdam pants?
Thanks
Yes, the connection zippers on both the jacket and pants are compatible. -DrewZilla

Not quite. At 0:52, you can see that the zippers stop before the armpit. They only open at the inner bicep area. -DrewZilla

no front protectors for this jacket?

RevZilla i have the jacket and the double chest protectors, but I can’t fit them in pockets, or maybe I can’t find the openings for hidden pockets maybe?
There should be a zipper on each side of the chest. Make sure you aren't putting each chest protector in backwards. -DrewZilla
Man he talks fast!! He needs to slow down a bit! :-)
yeah that jacket is made with highly breathable material yet dainese put air-mesh pockets for breathability 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😜😜😜😜
Anyone else getting choked wearing this linked with with carve master 2 pants?
this jacket looks too small on this guy he needs a bigger size
he wears size 50 and his actual size is 52 (check the video when they open jacket)
