Here is the press release from Dainese…
The Audax D-Zip 1PC Perf. Leather Suit stands as the epitome of ergonomic design and freedom of movement on the saddle, achieved through revolutionary construction and functionality inspired by the latest technology tested by MotoGP™ professionals. Positioned at the forefront of D-air®-free racing suits, this suit excels in safety with a class AAA mechanical resistance. Customizable aluminum inserts on shoulders and knees, along with steel inserts on elbows, optimize protection by minimizing friction during a fall.
Crafted from premium D-Skin cowhide with localized perforation, the suit features a patented fully stretch back construction that reduces seams and enhances resistance in case of a fall. Utilizing stretch microfiber with Microelastic 2.0 inserts, the suit ensures a close fit and excellent containment of volume in an upright position.
Enhancing riding comfort and freedom of movement, the iconic double-zipper construction and stretch fabric on the abdomen, a historic Dainese patent, keep the body snug against the tank in a tucked position without discomfort from a rigid central zipper. The integrated Boots-IN system ensures maximum riding comfort.
Further elevating comfort and aerodynamics, the detachable D-Tec Racing Core interior houses removable and washable layers, including composite shoulder protectors sensitive to micro-movements and Pro-Shape 2.0 hip protectors.
