Dainese Size Chart
Dainese uses different sizing systems depending on the product category. The charts below are based on current official Dainese product pages and are aligned with the areas currently sold at fit-und-warm.ch: motorcycle jackets and leather suits, pants, gloves, shoes and boots, D-air Smart Jacket, back protectors and casual wear.
Important: Product-specific size charts take priority. Individual Dainese models, especially racing suits, airbag products, Short/Tall versions and older collections, may use different available sizes or cuts from the general chart.
Men – Motorcycle Jackets and Leather Suits
Men – Motorcycle Pants
Men – Motorcycle Pants Short / Shorter Stature
Men – Motorcycle Pants Tall / Taller Stature
Short/Tall: This official comfort-size chart comes from the Dainese Delta 4 S/T. It must not automatically be applied to every pants model; it is intended for products explicitly offered in Short or Tall sizing.
Women – Motorcycle Jackets
Women – Motorcycle Pants
Motorcycle Gloves – Men
Motorcycle Gloves – Women
Measuring gloves: Dainese measures the circumference of the palm just below the knuckles. The current women's chart on the manufacturer page used here publishes the standard XS-to-L range; individual products may offer additional sizes.
Motorcycle Shoes and Boots – Dainese
Shoes/boots: The official Dainese conversion chart runs from EU 36 to 50. The current Dainese chart used here does not publish a separate foot-length value in centimetres, so no foot length has been added.
D-air Smart Jacket – Men
D-air Smart Jacket – Women
D-air Smart Jacket – Fit and safety: When wearing the Smart Jacket under a motorcycle jacket, measure the chest over the actual base layers that will be worn. Dainese recommends approximately 5 cm / 2 in of space between the base layers and the Smart Jacket at both front and back to provide the correct room for deployment. When wearing it over a motorcycle jacket, measure chest circumference with the motorcycle jacket on and its armour installed. D-air products must be registered and configured according to Dainese instructions.
Back Protectors – Pro-Armor Back 2.0
Insert Back Protectors – G1 / G2
Protector safety notice: Dainese states that a size chart alone cannot guarantee perfect fit. Whenever possible, try a back protector together with the motorcycle jacket you will actually wear. It should protect from the tailbone up toward the cervical area without unacceptably restricting movement. For protective equipment, the exact model instructions always take priority.
Men – Casual Wear
Technical underwear / D-Core: FuW also lists older Dainese D-Core products in sizes such as XS/S, M, L and XL/2XL. Because those product generations do not necessarily follow today's standard chart, no body measurements from a different product family have been transferred. Use the product-specific chart for the exact D-Core article.
How to Measure
- Height: barefoot, standing upright, from the top of the head to the floor.
- Chest: during normal breathing, horizontally around the fullest chest area, over the shoulder blades and just below the armpits.
- Women's bust: additionally measure around the fullest part of the bust where the Dainese women's chart requires it.
- Arm: from the outer shoulder point to the wrist with the arm relaxed at the side.
- Neck: approximately 2 cm below the Adam's apple at the front and across the seventh cervical vertebra at the back.
- Waist: horizontally just above the highest point of the iliac crest.
- Hips: horizontally around the fullest part of the hips or seat.
- Inseam: from the lowest point of the crotch vertically to the floor.
- Palm circumference: around the palm just below the knuckles.
General safety notice: Dainese motorcycle clothing, leather suits, gloves, footwear, airbags and protectors are safety-relevant equipment. The correct size must fit closely enough to keep protectors in their intended position without restricting breathing or necessary movement. Check racing suits in the riding position. Certification, installation, activation and care instructions for the exact product always take priority.
