Product Details
The Dainese Ventar Air Tex is a men's Class A sport motorcycle jacket designed for warm-weather road riding. Its mesh construction provides extensive airflow, while large stretch-fabric sections support movement and a natural riding position on a sport motorcycle.
A removable windproof insert adds useful protection on cooler or breezier journeys. This is not a waterproof motorcycle jacket and Dainese does not list a waterproof membrane; only the internal valuables pocket is described as waterproof.

Questions and answers
Is the Ventar Air Tex waterproof?
No. Dainese does not list a waterproof membrane for this jacket. It has one waterproof inner pocket for small essentials.
Can it be used outside the hottest weather?
Yes. The mesh panels are intended for warm conditions, while the removable windproof insert helps on cooler or windier rides. It is not a substitute for a waterproof or insulated all-season jacket.
Can I add chest, back or airbag protection?
Yes. The jacket has dedicated pockets for compatible Dainese chest and back protectors and is designed for use over the Dainese Smart Air system. These items are available separately.
Dainese states that this product is covered by a two-year legal guarantee, subject to its current terms and the nature of the claim.
