Dainese Stripes EVO C2 Perforated Jacket - GEAR EVALUATION

The Dainese Stripes EVO C2 Jacket is a classically styled leather café jacket with modern features. The cowhide body of the Stripes EVO C2 Jacket is treated with resins and oils for a classic look, and there are accenting suede stripes across each upper sleeve, the left chest, and the front of each lower arm. Each sleeve also features an insert of contrasting colored leather, and there are textile expansion panels where the sleeves meet the back, for ease of motion.

The exterior of the Stripes EVO C2 Jacket also feature two zippered chest vents, two zippered hand pockets, a padded collar with a rear reflective strip, and zippered closures at each cuff that are assisted with snaps. Inside the front zipper is a wind-proof textile zipper flap, and at the collar there’s a snap closure.

The interior of the Stripes EVO C2 Jacket has a sleeved zip-out thermal lining with a hook-and-loop closured pocket, plus hugging cuffs at the ends of each sleeve. The permanent outer lining features a zippered pocket inside the left chest. Shoulder and elbow hard armor is standard, and there is a pocket for a back protector. Skirting the bottom of the lining is a half zipper to accommodate attaching Dainese motorcycle pants. The Dainese Stripes EVO C2 Jacket is available in either perforated or non-perforated leather, and in black or brown.

Wearing the Stripes EVO C2 Jacket provides instant gratification. Its mix of protection, ease of movement, and performance features reveal the intense engineering developed through decades of product design and real-world testing. While some brands might have oddly placed armor or a not-quite proper fit for riding, Dainese has perfected the science of motorcycling jackets, while mating function with fashion.

For riders who prefer leather over textile, with classic café styling, the Stripes EVO C2 is a top choice from the Dainese brand. Very few competitors can match this jacket for quality, detail, comfort, style, protection, and all-around performance. The Stripes EVO C2 Jacket comes in European sizes and is true to size. For comparison, a USA medium/size 40 is equivalent to a size 50. Please use the Dainese sizing chart.
