FAQs

What is Auxagon protective technology?

Auxagon technology refers to Dainese's system of protective elements integrated into the garment, designed to absorb impact energy and protect the wearer during falls.

Can this vest be worn on its own?

While it offers protection, it is primarily designed as a protective layer to be worn under a ski jacket. It does not provide insulation or weather protection like a jacket.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Dainese sizing chart for ski protection. Generally, it should fit snugly to ensure the protective elements stay in place, but allow for full range of motion.

What is the Crash Absorb memory foam?

Crash Absorb is a type of viscoelastic memory foam used by Dainese for its shock-absorbing properties and flexibility, enhancing comfort and protection.

Is the vest machine washable?

No, the vest should be hand-washed only in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.

What is the main material of the vest?

The vest is made primarily from Soft touch Carezza fabric, which is composed of 81% Nylon and 19% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The vest is designed for a snug fit, but it should not impede breathing or major movements. Consider trying a size up if needed, especially if wearing thick base layers.

Zipper is difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to maneuver the zipper. If persistent, apply a small amount of wax or lubricant to the zipper teeth and test again.

Material feels damp or less breathable

This can occur during very high exertion. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath. Follow care instructions for washing to maintain fabric performance.
