The Wave D1 Air exists in a number of models and versions. They distinguish themselves by number and more importantly: by dimensions.
Composed from a three-part idea, with a base that strives for breathability and ventilating properties, a middle layer that consists of a shock-absorbing core, and an outer layer that aims to be strong and protective, the Wave is a very complete back protector. One that is also well-constructed. The core has a honeycomb structure, but especially the outer layer looks striking, thanks to the real 'plates', like those in an insect's elytron.
DAINESE has a name and a reputation in racing. These are reflected in the various Wave back protectors. The plates move in relation to each other and thus ensure optimal contact with the body. The hypoallergenic material and the flexible armrests are easy to clean. The hypoallergenic material and the adjustable and removable shoulder straps, together with the elastic band at the lower back, guarantee that you will not spend half an hour trying to put on this high-quality back protector.
It's clear that with this Wave a pair of very high performance back protectors DAINESE offers a pair of very high performance, separate back protectors. The CE-certification (EN1621.2/2014 level 2) is logical.
