Product Details
The Dainese Sportiva is a men’s leather motorcycle jacket for sporty road riding, combining Tutu cowhide with flexible stretch zones and integrated impact protection. This Matt Black version is the triple-black 201533872-92C colourway, with understated Dainese branding and interchangeable aluminium shoulder plates.
Tutu cowhide forms the main abrasion-resistant shell. S1 bi-elastic fabric at the hips and inner arms, together with Microelastic inserts across the back, helps the jacket move with the rider in a forward road-riding position. Waist adjustment straps, an elasticated neck and the jacket-to-trousers fastening zip help create a secure, close fit.

What is supplied?
The jacket is supplied with its Pro-Armor shoulder and elbow protectors and the external aluminium shoulder plates. A back protector is not included. Dainese does not list a waterproof membrane or removable thermal liner for the Sportiva, so riders should add separate rain protection and insulating layers when conditions require them.

Questions and answers
Is the Dainese Sportiva waterproof?
No waterproof membrane is listed for this model. The side vents and breathable lining are intended for thermal comfort, not weather sealing.
Is a back protector included?
No. The jacket has a rear pocket for an optional Dainese G1 or G2 protector, selected according to jacket size.
Can it connect to motorcycle trousers?
Yes. The Sportiva includes Dainese’s jacket-to-trousers fastening system for compatible leather trousers.
How should a leather motorcycle jacket fit?
It should feel close and secure without restricting your reach to the controls. The shoulder and elbow protectors should remain correctly positioned when you adopt your riding posture. If you are between sizes or plan to add layers, try the jacket with the same base layer and back protector you expect to use.
