Anyone get it know know cost?

Maybe later this year.... as of right now it's for racing customers only, then they will offer the custom-fit version ($5k) and sometime later (hopefully) a $4k version in off-the-rack sizes.

Yeah, I'm also not really seeing the market for a $4000 off-the-rack suit when for another grand you can get one that fits perfectly. Maybe the $4K suit is for the person of exactly average dimensions.

[thumbsup] Fine, as long as you are young and not likely to "expand" anytime soon! [roll] 5K these days though?! Title: Re: Dainese D-Air One piece suit Post by: $Lindz$ on April 17, 2012, 11:37:57 PM The biggest problem is that custom suits take upwards of 90 days to make (if you're lucky) so if you're able to save a grand and get the suit that day..... I see the point to that.

Ideally $1k price would have been ok. ( I say that pretending that I can afford it) Title: Re: Dainese D-Air One piece suit Post by: $Lindz$ on April 19, 2012, 11:46:14 PM After breaking a wrist and shattering a collarbone, I'm ALL for something that will greatly reduce major thoracic injury, especially to the neck/shoulders/clavicle/chest. My ambulance ride + 10hrs stay in the ER (just x-rays, drugs (morphine), and some doc consultation) cost big money (twice the cost of a $5k suit).
Anyways, from the horse's mouth: Dainese USA doesn't have a set date from Dainese Italy about when the D-Air will be available. Sometime summer, maybe. So... whatever that's worth. Title: Re: Dainese D-Air One piece suit Post by: ab on April 20, 2012, 08:20:14 PM Definitely no comparison to hospital cost.
I wear as much extra gear as I can but this d-air would be the greatest. I need to find a sugar mama to get it for me . :-) Title: Re: Dainese D-Air One piece suit Post by: zarn02 on April 20, 2012, 10:27:28 PM I've got a zip-together jacket/pants combo that I wear a lot of the time. I've also had a ride in the $500 taxi, and surgery to follow it up.
Coulda bought a (economy) car for what surgery cost... That said, while I could almost swing a $1000 set of leathers, I sure as shit can't do a $5000 set of leathers right now. |
