The Dainese Xantum is constructed from a high-tenacity polyamide fabric for exceptional abrasion resistance and features Dainese's proprietary D-Dry waterproof breathable membrane. The D-Dry membrane ensures complete protection from all outside elements but allows your body to sweat and breathe through the material to keep you comfortable and dry. Since this is a floating membrane bonded to the outer shell, there is a water outflow gutter system around the bottom hem of the jacket to prevent any water from getting through. Beneath that is a removable full-sleeved quilted thermal liner for temperature regulation. Taking this out and opening the chest intake vents combined with the large rear exhaust vent will allow you to stay cool in the hotter months.

The Xantum features CE rated protectors in the shoulders and elbows and pockets for CE back and chest protection to boost the safety elements. There is stretch material along the sides of the torso for comfort while elasticated stretch paneling at the backs of the shoulders allows for ergonomic movement in the riding position. The Xantum also multiple levels of adjustment, at the neck, waist, wrist, and with stylized sleeve volume adjusters that look cool and function very well. The outer pockets are completely waterproof and there are internal pockets for your most valuable cargo. Micro-reflective paneling keeps your visibility levels high at night and jacket-pants 360ยบ connection zip allows this jacket to be part of a full suit with a pair of Dainese pants.

The new standard of the Dainese all-season all-weather lineup has arrived in the form of the Xantum, sure to be a hit amongst sport touring riders. To see similar gear, visit our All Weather Motorcycle Jackets section.

Dainese Bruce Gore-Tex Jacket & Pants Review

The Dainese Bruce Gore-Tex Jacket and Pants provide the all-weather all-season weatherproofing that is necessary for long-distance touring rides. They also are made in the classic Dainese vein: motorcycle protection meets high style. Let's face it, Dainese is basically the Armani of the motorcycle world. You'll be protected and comfortable, with the fashion to match.

Check out our Dainese Bruce Gore-Tex Jacket and Pants Review:



The outer shell of the Bruce Jacket and Pants is a high-denier Cordura Comfort fabric that offers high abrasion resistance. Bonded to that shell is a Gore-Tex membrane, completely waterproof and windproof, and providing the highest level of breathability of any waterproof membrane on the market. The shell is also treated with durable water repellent which ensures that water will bead up and roll off and dry extremely quickly. The main connection zipper on the jacket is protected by a double waterproof strip with a rain gutter system to keep water out. Within this outfit is CE rated protection in the shoulders, elbows and knees, and there are pockets in the chest and back to house CE rated protection. There are additional foam pad protectors in the hips for protection.

Let's talk temperature versatility on this outfit. When it's cold outside, the removable quilted thermal liners in the jacket and pants will provide good insulation. There is also a thermal collar to insulate your neck. When the mercury rises, you can quickly remove both the liners and open up the ventilation panels. There are vents on the chest and thighs that will flow a good amount of air while riding. For ergonomics, there is accordion stretch paneling at the backs of the arms, fronts of knees, and the shoulders that wraps under the torso for ease of movement. Micro-reflective paneling throughout the jacket and pants ensures night time visibility while multiple adjustment zones, including wrist, waist (on jacket and pants) and neck means you can achieve the perfect touring fit.

Designed for the stylish long-distance sport touring rider, the Dainese Bruce Gore-Tex Jacket and Dainese Bruce Gore-Tex Pants will keep you covered no matter the conditions. To see similar gear, visit our All Weather Motorcycle Jackets and All Weather Motorcycle Pants sections.
