Sizing Information

We measured a selection of these jackets and also tried them on our Fit Check mannequins Huey and Dewey to see how they fit (Huey is in a Euro 52 and Dewey is in a 56) and they both look great. The overall fit is snug, but typical for a race cut jacket. This particular style jacket fits similar to other Dainese race jackets, but it actually “feels” a little more roomy. I think it is because of the extensive use of stretch materials. I really like how it feels.

This product is sold in European sizes. Generally speaking, the US chest size in inches is equivalent to roughly 10 points less than the European jacket size. Example: a 56 Euro jacket is similar to a size 46/XL men’s US size. This jacket feels just a tad more snug so I’m estimating the chest in inches to be 11 less than the Euro size. I’d suggest you measure yourself with a tape and get your chest size and belly size, then use the size chart to pick the smallest size jacket that will be big enough for both your chest and belly using the chart below. Approximate US alpha sizes are also listed in the chart so you can check if the jacket size you choose is the same alpha size as you normally wear in men’s clothing.

Sizing tips for upgrading armor: If you plan to add a back protector add 1” to your measured chest and belly measurements before using the size chart. If you will add chest armor, add an additional inch to your chest measurement.

The overall cut of this particular style jacket is very much in line with many Dainese sport jacket styles. The max belly is about 4” smaller than the max chest which is about what we expect.

Our Two Cents

The Dainese Super Speed 3 jacket is new for 2019. This is the best Dainese sport/race jacket currently in our store. This jacket has NUMEROUS safety features and it has an excellent cut and fit. Full armor is included for the shoulder and elbows and back and chest armor is optional (typical to all Dainese jackets). This jacket is available in both a solid leather and perforated leather version. Please take the link at the bottom of this page to view the other version.

I like how this sport/race jacket fits. The placement of the stretch fabric materials and the large leather expansion materials allows this jacket to move with you. Personally, this is one of the few jackets that flexes enough on me to so that the collar doesn’t rise up when I reach forward, so I really like how it fits. As I explained in the sizing advice, the excellent use of stretch materials means you can fit into a more snug jacket and still be comfortable.

Like many other Dainese sport race jackets, the armor package here stars with armor for the shoulders and elbows, which is a “plastic over foam” type. It is highly protective but lighter and thinner than the molded rubber types, which are found in more street oriented jackets. Listed below are the two types of back protector I’d recommend for this jacket. The Manis is a “hard shell” design that is similar to the shoulder and elbows armor. It would be my top recommendation for the solid leather jacket. For the perf jacket, I’d suggest the Pro-Armor G back protector since it is a honeycomb design and will allow airflow. Take the link below to view/buy both options. And finally, you can chest protector units which are made of a hard shell over a foam material… very similar in construction to the shoulder and elbow armor.

In addition to the “usual” armor options listed above, this jacket goes further with external armor on the shoulders… it’s quite the work of art really. It looks like leather bonded to a hard plastic under-layer which surrounds the metallic piece in the middle. This fits well over the regular shoulder armor which fits underneath. The whole thing looks sharp and adds an extra layer of impact armor in a critical area. On the elbows, this jacket has a similar hard armor piece along with a replaceable slider. The slider is something that is typically only available on race suits for track use. You could easily put together an excellent two piece suit by pairing this jacket with a pair of Dainese leather race pants because the jacket has a full-around zipper to make the connection. Lastly, this jacket has a rear “sport hump” in back. The sport hump is like the race hump you see on race suits, but it is softer with a stretch cover and it is a bit shorter than the full hump. It will ideal for use on a street bike and should be very comfortable to wear.

Two versions of this jacket are available… a solid leather and a perforated leather version. All the features of the two versions are the same, so you’ll want to decide which you want based on what time of year you think you’ll use the jacket and what your overall climate is like. Obviously, the perf jacket will be the one to buy for hotter weather use, and the solid jacket will work better for cold to mild weather use. The insides of both jackets are lined with flow thru nylon mesh.

I really can’t stress enough the difference in fit with this jacket. With a jacket that is laden with armor features, this one feels comfortable to wear. Many jackets with this many hard armor features typically won’t be this comfortable. I really like this jacket! :: Paul, 05-14-19
