An iconic item in the Dainese collection, VR46 Curb leather jacket is the certified leather motorcycle jacket with a snug fit that aids sporty riding & is inspired by the iconic style of Valentino Rossi. Inspired by one of the icons of motorcycle racing, it’s made from fine Tutu cowhide with breathable inner lining & is equipped with four air vents, two on the hips & two on the chest, to offer maximum thermal comfort. A snug fit & flexibility are instead guaranteed by a fit adjustment system on the hips, with S1 bi-elastic fabric sections & Microelastic 2.0 leather inserts on the back & arms to increase freedom of movement, while maintaining the typical protection of leather. The jacket is also designed to accommodate a back protector, the pocket model G. The jacket is equipped with a zipper at the waist which allows it to be connected to motorcycle pants, & EN 1621.1-certified composite protectors at the elbows & shoulders, which are further protected by interchangeable external aluminum plates – a distinctive Dainese technology – designed to support & facilitate sliding in case of a fall, thus avoiding the dangerous risks of rolling on asphalt.

Co-injected shoulder with aluminium insert The co-injected shoulder with metal insert is one of the most revolutionary innovations developed for Dainese garments. The result is a completely armored certified protector joined to the rest of the garment with minimum space, ensuring the wearer maximum comfort. The typical removable composite protection has been substituted by an injection of plastic material over a net externally covered in polyurethane. A pocket to insert the metal plate, fastened by rivets on the inside, is then created inside this structure. Tutu leather Is a cowhide leather developed & engineered to ensure high performance levels in terms of abrasion, tear, cut, & traction resistance. Selected premium quality raw materials guarantee extreme comfort, while ensuring the best performance even when exposed to extreme conditions thanks to its water- & oil-repellent properties. Micro-Elastic This Dainese patented technology has raised safety & comfort to new levels: it consists of one large panel in leather with elasticated bellows stretching perpendicularly in two directions, width & length, offering the wearer greater freedom of movement in the kidney area (when hunched over the fuel tank) as well as in the chest area & arms. Elasticated inserts Positioned in the most strategic locations that improve the garment’s capacity for adaptation to the body as it changes shape & moves while riding. S1 fabric Was developed to improve comfort & also to facilitate airflow through the garment. This material is made from elastomer coated with cordura polyamide, which gives it unmatched mechanical strength & elastic properties to guarantee excellent comfort levels. Nanotechnologies are applied to ensure the best water-/oil-repellent properties. Nanofeel® liner Innovative lining in bacteriostatic polyester yarn developed through nanotechnology research. Treating the nano-particles with silver ions ensures greater efficacy in terms of antibacterial & anti-odor properties, durability & wash resistance, as the silver particles are incorporated in the fiber itself & not merely applied to the outside, as in the case of conventional bacteriostatic yarns. Jacket-pants fastening system Fastening the jacket to the pants with a zipper increases both ergonomics & comfort by eliminating all chances of air infiltration & ensuring that both garments fit the body appropriately in every situation.
