It is not a mirage, this two-piece motorcycle suit by Dainese. A tight motor racing suit to hit the curbs on the track as fast as on the streets, that’s what this Mirage Lady is. Custom-made to the female anatomy, that too.
A two-piece motorcycle suit can exhibit a number of specific assets: with this Mirage, you have full-fledged leather motorcycle pants in your hands, a thoroughbred leather motorcycle jacket and the combination of the two. And best and foremost: this is still vintage DAINESE: comfort, safety and technology, they’re all there.
The most recent racing technology in an application for the open road consists largely of Tutu cowhide. Leather will always be the best warranty for a durable suit. In this case, you can add stretch S1 bi-elastic material to the mix, which delivers a solid external layer. Breathable Nanofeel® lining with Silver-ion treatment keeps everything at the right temperature internally. Successfully.
The centrally situated zipper that connects top to bottom is a sturdy YKK one.
For the elbow and shoulder protectors, Dainese goes for composite material (EN 1621.1) and an identical set on the knees. The hips get a set of Pro-shape protectors. Add to that a replaceable aluminum shoulder plate and the exchangeable knee sliders and you get the complete package. The aerodynamic hump fortifies the faster-than-fast ambitions.
In a motor suit – one or two-piece – storage is not one of your main concerns. The Mirage Lady offers one inner pocket.
The construction on the calves and sleeve ends is basic but good. Motorcycle gloves and motor boots evidently fit smoothly over the suit. Reflective inserts at the back of the Mirage Lady seem to suggest this suit can be used safely on the streets.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
