Product Details
The Dainese Wave D1 is a CE Level 1 motorcycle back protector insert designed for the dedicated protector pocket in compatible Dainese jackets. This Black listing offers the G1 and G2 formats, allowing riders to select the correct protector for their Dainese jacket size rather than using a waist measurement.
Protection and construction
- CE Category II back protector certified to EN 1621-2:2014 Level 1
- Nidaplast® inner core for impact absorption
- External polypropylene plates with a perforated, waved structure
- Thermoformed polyethylene foam liner
- Lumbar joint to help the insert follow the rider's movement
- Double-jersey air-gap interior and perforated outer plates to support ventilation
Choosing between G1 and G2
Dainese specifies the Wave D1 size according to the compatible jacket's EU size and whether it is a men's or women's jacket. G1 and G2 describe the protector format, not different protection levels.
| Dainese jacket | EU jacket size | Wave D1 protector |
|---|---|---|
| Men's | 42-48 | G1 |
| Men's | 50-64 | G2 |
| Women's | 38-54 | G1 |
Dainese's current guide does not specify G2 for women's jackets. Check that your jacket has a compatible internal back-protector pocket before ordering.
Compatibility and use
The Wave D1 G series is a pocket insert, not a standalone protector with shoulder straps or a waist belt. It is intended for Dainese jackets prepared to accept the appropriate G-format back protector. Compatibility should be confirmed from the jacket's product information because pocket formats can vary between garments.

Questions and answers
Does G2 provide a higher protection level?
No. Both formats are certified to EN 1621-2:2014 Level 1. G2 is the larger format for the specified men's jacket sizes.
Is the Wave D1 ventilated?
The perforated external plates and double-jersey air-gap interior are designed to support airflow. Overall ventilation also depends on the jacket in which it is installed.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use the Dainese jacket-size table above and confirm that the jacket is prepared for a G1 or G2 insert. Do not select this protector using waist circumference.
