Hey, this in Anthony with RevZilla TV where you can watch, decide, and ride.
Welcome to our detailed breakdown of the new Dianese Avro C2 leather jacket available at
RevZilla.com.
So to my left you're going to see the C2.
It's the new version of the Avro.
Avro has been a strong seller.
It's been a staple in the Dianese sport collection.
I really look at the original Avro and now the new C2 as a three season leather, fully
removable thermal liner, and it's not a really wide-range (inaudible), so you get a really
good mix of spring, summer, fall seasonality.
And then again, when it gets a little colder, you can stretch it further with that thermal
lining.
Now, from a positioning standpoint, certainly aggressive.
Five colors available, this is our black, white and fluoro red.
Going to be a great top half of a two piece suit because it's technical enough, but then
it also has enough of this style that you can rock it on the street.
You know, thinking one step further, let's talk a bit about sizing.
You're going to see Tub to our left.
This is Tub.
He won our Die Hard Dianese contest at RevZilla.com, so he's the star of the show today.
He's going to be 135, five foot six, wearing a size 48.
Now, for his sizing, he's about a 38 inch chest, he can kind of go either way.
He hes a little bit more room in the size 48, but he could also pull up a 46 if he was
going to rock it as a two piece suit and wanted a bit more of an aggressive shape to take
to the track.
Keep that in mind.
Remember we ship for free.
You can get in touch with our gear geeks, and as always, I love to hear gut reactions,

Now, as we dive into some of the nitty gritty on the C2 version of the Avro, Avro C2 has
a couple key upgrades.
Remember, Europe changed that safety spec for the new CE rating.
The C2 now has zipper covers, which are going to be done to add a degree of safety, and
some of the stitching and internal guts in the way that it's constructed have been refined
for this year.
Again, to the naked eye, not a ton of changes, but enough changes to warrant a new name.
Now, we look at it, cowhide in it's exterior.
You're going to see S1 panels down each arm for flexibility and airflow.
Again, aggressive pre-shape here in the Avro C2.
It's plenty of jacket to take to the track.
And if we look at the protection scheme, remember, CE rated Dianese composite protection, the
shoulders, and the elbows and forearms, and shoulders are going to have the co-injected
aluminum sliders which live on the outside and, again, add a degree of slide protection
if you do happen to have a low side or go down on the track.
Some of the other features, again, aggressive race Dianese logos down the front, double
snap here at the top.
It's meant to be low profile hand warmer pockets.
Again, it's basic from that regard.
Now Tug, I'm going to take you and I'm going to turn you straight that way and stop right
there.
Again, get an idea of the profile as we come down the arm, lifting the arm, adjustment
down here along the hips.
And you can see how that stretch panel comes down from the shoulder blade, wraps underneath
the arm and allows for a bit of flexibility, especially if you're in your tuck position.
Remember, the jacket's going to be fine on the bike, off the bike, but this jacket loves
to be in a tuck, moving at speed.
Now turn backwards for me Tub, turn completely backwards.
There you go.
Stop right there and you're good to go.
Notice low profile.
Again, additional S1 panel here up at the collar.
It's going to not to interfere with your helmet if you're in the tuck, especially now with
the new line of Dianese racing style helmets like the Corsa, that has that cut away.
Again, just, it's going to come together really nicely.
There's no hump on this jacket.
Now, hump's a personal preference thing.
You know, from here you can step up to something like the Super Speed, which I believe does
have a hump, and the racing would not have a hump.
That would be the baby brother to this jacket.
But again, clean and classic, relective demon logo on the back, Dianese across the seat.
Notice it's a drop seat.
It's going to have an integrated 360 degree zip to connect it with something like the
Delta Pro Evo pants from Dianese.
And again, you have other additional temper foam panels.
Now, I will say there's no back protector here.
You'd have to upgrade that separately with something like the Wave Pro, use a G2 size
for men's jacket.
And you have the ability to add that CE2 level of protection to the jacket.
Come back around to the front for me Tub.
There you go.
Now, last but not least, let's look into the guts and remember, if you want a better per
scheme, you can always go down to something that's a little bit less of an investment,
something like the racing.
There we go, see if we can get that undone.
There you go.
You see the thermal liner, which is easily removable, on the inside.
And remember, YKK zippers.
They're meant to hold up, they're built to last.
And what I like about it is it's not a vest liner, it's actually going to be a full sleeve
thermal.
And on the inside of that you'll see the Dianese sanitized lining.
I will note on both sides that this Avro C2 will take the Dianese thorax protection as
well.
