The Racing 4 Lady motorcycle jacket shoots from the same branch of the family tree as the Racing 4 motorcycle jacket for gentlemen. A sturdy branch, iconic even, with a number of side branches and new sprouts that keep growing further and further. In other words, we are at a higher level of sportiness.
Dainese has cut this version of the Racing 4 specifically to the size of the female body. Tutu cowhide is the well-known, tested and tried and completely justified ‘weapon of choice’ for a motorcycle jacket of this calibre. It is important to know that in this case, the leather has been treated to be water and oil-resistant with an equal emphasis on protection and comfort. The latter is never far off: the supplements with bi-elastic S1-material and micro-elastic leather inserts on the arms and the back are very useful and offer the female wearer of the Racing 4 Lady more range and flexibility. It remains tight and sporty; obviously.
Four direct ventilation openings, two on the side and two on the chest ensure a proper interior temperature.
Impact protection comes from EN 1621.1-certified composite protectors on the elbows and shoulders. Externally, you will also spot the replaceable aluminium sliders: Dainese technology straight from the circuit that helps prevent rolling over the tarmac. Sliding is key, prevention is always best.
There’s the possibility to integrate a back protector.
It should be clear that at a first fitting a motorcycle jacket like this one should fit tight around your body. There’s a small individual adjustment possibility in the waist which won’t compensate for large size changes. As is the case for many of these types of motorcycle jackets, it pays to be built athletically, but we repeat: the cut of this Racing 4 Lady motorbike jacket follows the female anatomy to a tee. The sleeve ends were equipped with a zip and elastic inserts but a fit should be right from the start. Leather ‘sets’ around your body and a body-hugging harness like this one should be snug.
The connecting zipper is a typical DAINESE piece of ART.
