- Dainese Super Speed Textile Jacket Review
www.revzilla.co...
The Dainese Super Speed textile jacket borrows its styling queues from the Super Speed leather jacket to create a lightweight 3-season jacket. The Super Speed textile uses a combination of Duratex fabric and Boomerang mesh for the outer shell and is equipped with a removable windproof insert. The shoulders get double-duty protection with exterior aluminium inserts and internal CE armor that is also found in the elbows. The back protector can be upgraded with a G1 or G2 back protector and a pocket for a Thorax chest protector is located at the front of the jacket. The Dainese Super Speed makes a great sporty option for Spring-Summer-Fall riding and makes a great compliment to a leather jacket. Offered in 3 color options and in Euro sizes 44-64.
Did Anthony forget his coffee this morning?
I'll tell you this one is on my short list for just that kind of riding. I'm hoping to pick one up next month. -CK
just bought one today was easily my favorite in the store
I actually really want one now. This will be a Christmas gift to myself.
Definitely liked the in-depth detail you gave us. Living in the middle of the country with a small population, you don't exactly have the chance to see and try on a good variety of equipment. The website and reviews that you give have guided a lot of my gear choices, and I appreciate that. The "3-season jacket" statement really stuck with me on this one. Also liked the looks of the jacket and the aluminum shoulder plating. I'll be asking for this for Christmas!
This has to be the best summer mesh jacket for a sport bike rider! Picked one up from the Philly store just yesterday - did a run to NYC and got back today, it was around 90° and the jacket handled it perfectly. Great athletic fit with good articulation (those stretch panels really help) and it flows a ton of air in all riding positions; I expected less air flow from those relatively small front mesh areas. The amazing Dainese fit, finish and protection is where this jacket really shines though.
Agreed, but the removable liner will allow you to push it into the Spring/Fall. The liner is water resistant, but won't be effective against a downpour. -CK
Ordered mine during the Black Friday 15% weekend last week. It's still technically on pre-order. Since it's winter more or less, the wait is a little more bearable. I'm sure I'll wear it around the house while dreaming about riding.
Hey Tejas. You could potentially be a 48 or a size 50. If you plan on upgrading the back protection and wearing a layer under the jacket, you might want to go with the larger size. Don't forget our Gear Geeks are here to help and can size up Dainese jackets in their sleep. ~Ali
These are a bit tough due to the shoulder sliders. Typically, you can take out the interior armor and put it through on a cold water wash, hang dry. However, I would wash this by hand with soap and water, rinse, and hang dry so that those Titanium sliders don't scratch up. -CK
And again Revzilla is the first to make the review ! I was expecting for this video , sounds we have a winner here : racing leather protection level in a mesh jacket ! Awesome !
Dainese is quite consistent in regards to sizing. There are only a few exceptions and i wouldn't consider the Super Speed to be one of them. Go ahead and try size 54 first, the Shield Air G2 will fit nicely in the back. -CK
The Aspide doesn't have any mesh panelling, so the Super Speed Textile will definitely offer more venting. In addition, the Super Speed has a removable wind liner. -CK
I have this Jacket and it goes great for all seasons in my opinion. Very comfortable too.
Probably one of the best looking textile jackets out there. I want. Want real bad.
I bought this jacket from Revzilla this last spring. Great customer service and the jacket is amazing. Been out in temps ranging from 45 with base layers up to 98. Works great and is super comfortable. Thanks Revzilla.
As far as slide protection, would it provide moderate protection from road abrasion?
@@bluefalcon5743 I believe it would hold up fairly well.
You can get a back protector separately to insert for this jacket! Either the Wave G, or the Shield Air would work. -CK
Dainese New Drake Air Textile Pants are as mesh as Italy has to offer. They don't come in tall sizes, but they do run tall in general for the brand. They are meant to be tucked into race boots, instead of being an over-the-boot pant. -CK
Yes, the Super Speed textile can accept a G1 or G2 back protector and the Thorax Chest protector. ~Ali
I find the G1 size to be the best option for jackets under 52. The G2 will still fit, but it is kind of bulky on a smaller build. -CK
Score! The new Super Speed jacket is pretty awesome. I'd wear it around the house too. ~Ali
I suggest checking out the Dainese Aspide Textile jacket that has a very similar profile and no mesh. ~Ali
The Aspide was my top pick for a long time. It won't flow as much air as your Portland, but works well for a more mild spring/summer climate. -CK
As far as slide protection, would it provide moderate protection from road abrasion?
Agreed, would like to see some more of this jacket back in stock, especially in size 50 euro.
Most Dainese inventory should be coming back into stock within the next 30-60 days. Stay tuned, or sign up to be notified on the product detail page. -CK
I'm looking for the same :-( as well! Unfortunately, Dainese didn't produce enough of these. It is a definitely a winner and I think they underestimated the demand in the US. -CK
Personally, I find the G1 to be a better fit for jackets 52 and smaller. The G2 will still fit, but it feels more bulky. -CK
The jacket looks fantastic. I'm likely going to buy it
why does the jacket look so loose on him?
He's just very lanky. He could go down one size, but it would be too short in the arms and torso. -DrewZilla
All my gear is currently AStars but this jacket has me seriously considering replacing my T-GP-R Air for the summer months.
I wish they made an alternate version of this jacket without any of the mesh and just vent zippers instead.. I love the styling, shoulder sliders and fit but I just can't trust a jacket with spots that have virtually no abrasion resistance. I have seen people go down in similar jackets and the leather or abrasion resistant textile impact area catches and it twists the material or moves their arm and the mesh comes in contact with the road and it just eats up the mesh all the way through.
Its on my short list too! -CK
I would say, I too am looking for either white/black or white/black/red in size 50 or 52, prefer 52. Talk about terrible marketing on Dainese's part.. make a summer jacket... be out of stock entire summer. Makes sense mkay.
thank you antony. i live in india and there are no dainese dealers here so i think i should buy it online and get it shipped.
You and about 300 others :-(. We are hoping for replenishment over the summer, but Dainese underestimated how big of a hit this jacket would be in the US so they are behind on inventory. -CK
Hey Antony,
Great Video. Well put together and Love the gear!
I'm still deliberating over the above jacket and Dainese leather. I know I know... The textile is more versatile and can allow much more airflow and is better for more seasons. So why is it I still want leather?!
Do you have a chest measurement to go with that? Let me know and I should be able to recommend a size. Thanks! -CK
Resistant, yes, but not water proof. -CK
Very Helpful review and a great looking jacket.
the guy with the jacket is like "look guys im a model" lol
Yes, you can link directly to the product detail page from the video description above. -CK
I just picked up one of these and I love it! What's the best way to wash these?
Also, I wear a size 50; what size back protector should I use?
This jacket looks amazing...When can we expect this to be available?
looks cool, but the main front zipper quit working after two rides 🙁
never crashed or abused it, it zips up fine, but getting it off is almost impossible, as the zipper is almost impossible to get to unzip without a third or fourth hand assisting. about halfway down it feels like it has a flap of fabric stuck in it but it doesn't... its just poorly made.
not too happy with Dainese quality... it's not good. it feels cheap compared to my Held and Astars gear, but it's more expensive. 🤔
hi Antony
i'm 5'9 and my chest size is 39.i'm athelete built. what size would you recommend for the super speed textile ? you do an excellent job.. thank you for the reviews. it helps us.
You think is good for adventure use and occasional off road riding...?
I wear a dainese talos goretex 52 size with a g2 back protector. it is a bit large without the warm interior. a 50 on textile black will suit fine to me? i am 1.79 height tall, 85 kgr weight. I intend to use also a thorax in pocket. only with t-shirt. it has to be snuggy but dont want it to be short on sleeves.
i have the red,white, black one. how can i clean the white panels?
We recommend using NikWax Tech Wash. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/nikwax-tech-wash
Why oh why can Dainese not make this jacket in short sizes?? How about you Revzilla guys talk to them about that? Same comment for the Super Speed D1 jacket.
are you guys going to have this jacket in stock any time soon? im a little disappointed that i didnt pre-order it and it seemed you guys got enough to just cover pre-orders.
We do ship to India! Please visit our website for more details on international orders. -CK
Hi RevZilla,
I'm 6'2", 186 lbs with a 43". Should I take 52 or 54?
BTW great review!
I'd recommend size 54. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-super-speed-textile-jacket
Very much looking for the Size 50, in Black/White/Grey! I can't find it anywhere. I'd really want to buy this from you guys since you've been great on orders in the past. I've got the email notification set up, but I don't think you guys can order enough of these!
yeah ive been waiting on the white and black aswell size 48 any shipments coming in soon
Out of stock !! When can we buy the red version of this jacket ??
What are the major differences between this and Aspide? They seem very similar to me in terms of function and price.
I have Delmar and Air Frame, just looking for another jacket for rotation.
I have a dainese goretex talos for 3season riding.... I need a new one for summer time (from may to september).
Is this suitable for me and my hot climate (urban environment, 35 celcius) or even travelling?It looks rly wonderful!
how does the chest/thorax protector (pocket) work? I see that there's only a pocket on the right side and none on the left. (Just got one today and was looking it over)
ALexpWTFISTHAT The Super Speed accepts the one-piece L2 Chest Protector. Only half the chest protector inserts into the pocket, but that's by design, as that's all it takes to keep the chest protector in position. So, you insert the one-piece chest protector into the pocket as far as it will go, then zip the jacket up, and you're ready to ride! Hope this helps! -DrewZilla

I'm looking for weeks for an answer to the problem. There is no answer anywhere in the product description or any product test.
I intentionally searched this video for exactly this question.
Now that I have the answer, I'm surprised at this strange solution. They could have been done better.
Hi. I want to buy this jacket frome the enternet but i dont know what size i mast buy.... for exaple 55-60 size?? how i can found my size???
Whys the thorax protector only on 1 side?
this is summer textile. for 3 months riding.
ty for feedback, the question was rly about size :) ...
My goretex talos is 52 and is a bit large without the interior. how is this jacket overall? tight form or normal dainese?
thinking of picking one 50 for this since I will wear it only with tshirt for summer riding.
I wonder cause I want to wear both protections, G1-2 for back and thorax for chest. I have a medium chest thorax, it will suit with a 50?
when are you guys going to have the white/black/grey available? man i have been waiting for like 3 months... :'(
i see you guys got a bunch of black/white/red in stock, any word on the black/white/gray?
can I wear this jacket just for good weather or can I also weat it by bad weather?
(I am from germany)
I was going to buy this but out of stock in my size and discontinued, can you suggest a similar jacket?
Hello, is it impermeable ? (water resistant)
How is the gut area compared to the chest? Based on the measurements I should be OK for the 64, but I carry a couple of spare lunches around the waist, which may or may not impede the closure of a more euro style jacket. Thanks!
There's a decent amount of room in the waist as well, so I think it's worth trying the 64. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-super-speed-textile-jacket
how much?
I'm not that big of fan of the color schemes and shoulder aluminum sliders. What other jackets would you suggest that look aggressive and vent well like this?
What do you think about the Dainese Air-3 textile jacket? Also, if you want to see shoulder sliders in action, send me an email at cs@revzilla.com. I unfortunately had the unpleasant opportunity of testing them. -Hi-Viz Brian
www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-3-textile-jacket
Seems to be a nice Jacket - I am 5"8 167 lbs and 39 in chest, what would you recommend in size? Thanks
A 48 would probably fit well, but tight. A 50 would be best in my opinion. I have roughly the same dimensions and have had both, but prefer the 50. -Kraus-e
Can i upgrade this jacket with a chest and back protector?
what happened with this video it was well described but not at breakneck speed!
What dainese textile pants would go well with this jacket?
Which Dainese pants you suggest for this jacket? I own it 54 size. (180cm 100kg Belly is a bit problem but I can always loose weight :D ) I ride with a kevlar motocycle jean but I want to zip a pant to this jacket for touring. I also think about I will buy a winter, late fall, early spring jacket from Dainese but I dont want to buy another pant. I want to use the same pant with also super speed tex. I look for D-dry evo but I am not sure about its protection.
Sahab Can What temperatures do you experience in the summer and winter months? -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla Summer 108F not all the time but average is 97-90F. Lowest winter time which I stop riding 57F. Humidity is between 60-80%.
Sahab Can If you're averaging 90ºF+ temperatures in the summer months, I highly recommend a mesh setup. However, the problem with mesh setups in the winter (c. 60ºF temperatures) is their ventilation / breathability. Some mesh setups come with thermal liners (not Dainese, but REV'IT! listed below), but the thermal liners will be all that stands in the way of your body and the cold. You may be able to get away with one if you add additional base / mid-layers underneath. If they don't work with your mesh or mesh w/ thermal setup, I recommend a summer and winter option like the Dainese Drake Super Air pants (summer) and the D-System EVO D-Dry pants (winter). -Hi-Viz Brian

Hey, this jacket looks really good to me! What are some good summer pants that could fit pants underneath it and go with the jacket?
I wear the Dainese Over Flux Pants over pants or shorts for summer commuting and riding. They zip to the Super Speed jacket as well. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-over-flux-pants
This looks great for summer riding but I worry about the sleeve length. Im 6'4" with a 40" chest and nothing ever fits both my chest/waist and has long enough sleeves. Is this as close as I can get (with a size 50EU) while maintaining that sweet styling without getting a custom made jacket?
+CollegeRepulblican The Super Speed does tend to run a little longer in the arms, but it's not very long in the torso. If more of your height is in your legs rather than your torso, you might be ok. Otherwise, I suggest the REV'IT! Levante, as it has both long arms and a longer torso. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/revit-levante-jacket
How good is it really riding in 85-95*F Florida humid weather, city riding not highway riding?!?
Almost anything is going to be hot in those conditions. I would recommend the more-vented Air Flux D1 along with a synthetic wicking base layer shirt. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-air-flux-d1-jacket
is this jacket still for sale i cant find it on the website
It's so hard to pick between this and the racing c2 perforated leather jacket :( usually ride around 66-70s and some rare occasions low 80s and 60f° in the mornings. What would you guys recommend? Thanks
dohser805 I'd go leather because the textile Super Speed jacket will flow too much cold air in low temperatures. -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla so do you think the textile will be bad for 70degree weather? And thanks in advance, you guys rock!
dohser805 The textile version will work well in the 70's. It will get chilly in the 60's. -Hi-Viz Brian
I wear the super speed c2 from about 50-80 over here in arizona, I'd definitely recommend it over mesh for your conditions
Master Daedalus i actually got the super speed textile and love it! it was in the 50s at night and didnt really feel cold, right now its in the 80s and it is still quite warm, but once im riding i forget how warm it is!(took off liner even in the 50s and still did okay)
Seems like this jacket is discontinued. What is the replacement for this jacket? Is the replacement available in Rezilla?

Does the Alpinestars KR1i fit in this jacket?
Can we upgrade /insert the elbow, shoulder, back armour in this jacket to a non dainese branded armour????
As long as you select an armor that fits the same dimensions, yes. There is no specific aftermarket armor to work with these pockets though, so you would likely need to cut some to fit which may compromise the protection aspects. - Pat
Hi revzillia..i am 165 cm and weight 75kg..what size will fit me for this jacket? Thanks
gunawan chen It really depends on your chest size. Measure your chest circumference according to the size chart linked below. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-super-speed-textile-jacket#size_chart_tab
183 cm height (6 ft even), 79 kg (176 lb), chest about 101cm (39/40 in). Would a size 48 be snug but okay or would it be too small?
+Yicheng Feng It would be snug. You may prefer size 50. -DrewZilla
hi is there a foam or anything inserted on the back? thank you
In the video, the back protector pocket is empty. It would take a Wave G2 or Pro Armor Insert. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-wave-d1-g-back-protector

hi im planning to buy a riding jacket but im confused between two, dainese super speed textile or alpinestar t gp r air jacket, please suggest which one is better in comfort, safety and ventilation.
They both offer CE-rated armor, similar abrasion resistance, and similar ventilation, so it really depends which style you prefer between the two jackets. -DrewZilla
Which Thorax protection do you recommend? i already use a D1 G2 with the Jacket.
The Super Speed accepts a one-piece chest protector, but unfortunately, Dainese is no longer producing that protector. However, Alpinestars makes a chest protector that can be used instead, so consider the Nucleon Chest Protector in size MD-XL. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/alpinestars-nucleon-kr-cir-chest-protector
One pice only..
Only one side???
I don't understand..
One side for what??
Only one side of the chest can be inserted with protector?
This has only one chest armor pocket? So it's not compatible with the proarmor chest pieces?
Correct, it is only compatible with the Dainese L2 single-piece chest protector. -DrewZilla

5,1´ ?
I find it little height Might I corroborate the height of your assistant? regards
+Jorge Chavez JK is 5'11". -DrewZilla
i want this jacket i am going to start riding hopefully in the next few months and looking into gear and wanted to know would this be ok for florida's 90+ degree summers and what dainese pants would you recommend for these
Yes, the Super Speed is good for Florida weather, and I recommend the New Drake Air and Drake Super Air pants to complement the jacket. -DrewZilla

I'm looking for a jacket for summer but also wind proof for winter is this a good option ?
+ugalde I'm not sure where you're located, so I'm not sure how cold your winter is. With the wind liner in, you can comfortably wear this down to about 60-65 degrees F. With the liner out, you can wear it in pretty hot weather. -DrewZilla
This jacket or the Alpinestars T-GP Plus R v2? I am 6' 2" 190lbs 41in chest. I just got the New Drake Textile Pants. Love em so far.
I recommend this Super Speed in size 52 to go with the New Drake Air Pants. -DrewZilla
I'm concerned with the back of this jacket. How well will the mesh hold up in a slide with a back protector in?
Just discovered the City Guard D1, and love it for around town. It's obviously near total mesh, and my Joe Rocket mesh jackets also flow a ton of air riding around down here in summertime Daytona Beach. Differences in crash protection notwithstanding, I'm just wondering how much airflow I'd sacrifice with the Super Speed Textile, as it just doesn't look quite as "open"? Thanks in advance for your time, Sparks
You'll only sacrifice a bit of ventilation, but you'd be gaining a lot of abrasion resistance. As you know, the City Guard D1 lacks some abrasion resistance in order to have all the mesh. I'd rather be a little warmer with more abrasion resistance if riding at highway speeds. -DrewZilla
Thanks very much!
Hey Zilla,
Newbie question, but where can I try one of these on to get sizing right and walk out the door with it rather than ordering? I'm in Shreveport LA and there's nothing around here Dainese related at all.
I'm not sure you're going to be able to do that, as we're predominantly an online retailer. Our only showroom is here at our headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. There aren't a lot of Dainese dealers in the US. That's why we have these videos and our Gear Geeks to help you with sizing. Feel free to get in touch with a Gear Geek at 877-792-9455 or cs@revzilla.com. -DrewZilla
hey man, I know the video has been around for quite some time but I just recently got a brand new jacket (dainese super speed textile apparent is still in line in 2018) and I'm wondering why does the pocket for thorax chest protector is only available on the left chest only? I tried to ask the store manager and he had no idea as well LOL. any idea from the distributor or were you guys informed otherwise?
It's because it uses the older one-piece chest protector, not the two-piece chest protector. The one-piece protector only needs to be inserted into the one pocket to be secure. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-l2-chest-protector
What would you recommend Alpinestars TGP air v2 (something like that) or dainese SPR. I have another Dainese D-Dry and I need something for hot days...
If Dainese fits you well, then I would choose the Super Speed. -DrewZilla

Hi - Could you tell me anything please about the abrasive resistance of this jacket for moderate speeds (no-highway) Thanks!
+Iberian Cat The Super Speed Textile Jacket is designed for speeds up to and including highway speeds, so this offers good abrasion resistance for moderate speeds. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-super-speed-textile-jacket
is this jacket perfect for tropical weather ?
Yes, due to the high ventilation mesh textile, it is really good for tropical weather. -DrewZilla
