It's not available yet. 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.

I think if someone is willing to spend 4k on a suit, might as well go all the way and get the custom 5k suit.

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.

Fine, as long as you are young and not likely to "expand" anytime soon!
5K these days though?!

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.

It's a great motivation to keep working out and maintain size. :-)
Ideally $1k price would have been ok. ( I say that pretending that I can afford it)

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.

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 . :-)

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.
