Engineered for the sport‑bike racer, the DP Progressive jacket is built around full‑grain Italian cowhide leather, 1.1‑1.2 mm thick, the same premium hide used in SPIDI’s top‑class racing suits. This high‑performance leather delivers unrivaled abrasion resistance while keeping the overall weight to a manageable 2.5 kg. Reinforced with high‑tenacity Flex Tenax Nylon 6.6 flex sections on the forearms and elasticized leather inserts on the back, the jacket maintains structural integrity in aggressive cornering and provides the rigidity needed for a true racing posture. Integrated zip fasteners and dedicated clips allow seamless attachment to matching pants, creating a unified suit‑up system for sport‑bike competition.
Rider‑focused ergonomics and climate control are woven into every seam, beginning with an adjustable waist fastening and accordion‑style tailoring that adapts to the rider’s stance. A fixed mesh lining works in concert with generous air intakes and outlets on the arms and rear, delivering a tunable airflow channel that can be opened for cooling or closed for aerodynamic efficiency. The jacket is 50 % waterproof and offers a suite of optional liners—H2Out, Rain Hoodie, InsideOut, Thermo Rain Chest, MAX LINER Plus, and Thermo Vest—so riders can dial in protection against rain, cold, or heat without sacrificing the leather’s protective core.
Maximum impact protection backed by CE Class AAA certification ensures the DP Progressive meets the strictest European safety standards (prEN 17092‑2:2020). Warrior shields are permanently mounted on the shoulders, while removable Warrior Lite protectors (EN 1621‑1 Level 2) cover shoulders and elbows for interchangeable protection levels. The jacket also features built‑in mounting points for Warrior back and chest protectors (CE Level 1 Z54, Level 2 Z147/Z172), allowing a fully customized armor setup. In real‑world track use, the combination of lightweight construction, integrated ventilation, and certified impact zones delivers the confidence a sport‑bike rider needs to push limits lap after lap.
