Hey.
This is Anthony, with RevZilla TV, where you can watch, decide, and ride.
Welcome to our detailed breakdown of the new Dianese Super Speed Mesh Textile, available
at RevZilla.com.
Now out of the gates, the Super Speed is a winner, in my opinion.
This is something new from Dianese.
This is a very aggressive take on the mesh jacket.
You could say that this is the big brother, the aggressive race-inspired brother of the
Shotgun, which is one of the most popular mesh jackets that we have at RevZilla.com.
Now if we look at it right out of the gates, a few things are going to jump out at you.
Aluminum shoulder sliders on a mesh jacket, really, really nice, and really a race-bred
chassis with a race articulation.
Now just to talk about sizing really quickly, I have Jason here on my left, 5'10, 175, 40-inch
chest, wearing a size 50 in this jacket.
You can see that we have . . . It's a . . . The way it hangs on his body . . . He's an athletic
build, not as burly as I am, but he's an athletic cut.
We have the textile material in the impact areas, and then in the nonimpact areas, we're
going to have a double layer of the larger gauge mesh, and then in the arms we have the
boomerang mesh, which is a little bit tighter weave, a different look to it, adds a nice
style element, and also flows tons of air.
Now if we also look down on it, you're going to see that we have more mesh that goes all
the way down.
The key thing early on in this review that I want you to take away is that it's a mesh,
but it's a three-season mesh.
I'm calling it a three-season mesh because what you can't see until I open it up is there
is a removable windproof liner that's now coming with that jacket.
So you'll notice that $300 range, but you really have a jacket that, when it gets a
little chilly, when you want to shut that airflow off, you put in your windproof liner,
and you're good to go.
If you want to beef it up with a base layer or a mid layer, you always have the ability
to stretch it even further.
Now before I have you spin for me, we're going to talk about some of the other features here.
Double snap up here at the collar, basic stuff, micro flexion darts, which are that reflective
material that's woven in.
So it doesn't create that big taped area.
It works with the style.
Embroidered Dianese logo.
Notice that we're using . . . I think we even have a light panel of Mugello fabric that
comes down here.
Mugello is that really nice stretch material.
Moving down, turn face away from me, Jase.
Talked about the aluminum shoulder sliders, but underneath that, we have CE-rated armor,
as well as in the elbow we have the CE-rated Dianese elbows that go all the way down to
your forearm as well.
Notice our reflective panel.
Another cool feature that Dianese is using here in the Super Speed is this micro elastication.
What it allows you to do . . . If you can look at the way that looks and the amount
of fabric, compared to this elasticated stretch panel here at the shoulder, this accordion,
you're using dramatically less fabric, and it's actually stronger.
So now, instead of having to have a panel that looks like this everywhere, you have
the ability . . . We've seen it in gloves.
We've seen it in race suits.
It's more expensive to do it, but it's an upgrade in a technology.
It's very cool that they're incorporating the micro elastication here.
Underneath Jason's arm, you're going to see another panel of Mugello for stretch.
See our elasticated panel that goes all the way to the front, and then we have our basic
stitching there.
Now turn backwards for me, Jason.
Now up top, from a style standpoint, you do have this area, this patch, that has a soft
hand to it.
It's a different material.
I think it's meant to be a little bit more lightweight, knowing that you're probably
going to be potentially in a tucked position, potentially aggressively riding, give you
a little bit of a different feel on the top of your back.
Moving down from there, again, double mesh in its construction, moving into a seat.
That's that full textile.
Notice we do have another band of micro flexion here as well, embroidered Dianese logo here
at the bottom, and there's a 360 zip in this jacket as well.
So you can always connect it to a pair of gnarly riding pants.
Come back around to the front for me.
One of the things I also want to call out is that this is the blacked out, murdered
out version, which I totally dig, and we'll sell it for days.
There's also a black/white/red version.
The other colors in this jacket have a white chassis with red accents and black accents.
They really look like that black/white/red racing jacket.
Phenomenal that they've made such an aggressive style here on really what's a textile mesh
jacket.
This is one of those jackets just makes Joe Rocket sad every day that Joe Rocket wakes
up.
Opening this guy up, here's my rip-stop windproof liner, very lightweight, but it will block
the wind.
Notice our big red YKK zipped pocket here.
This will take the Dianese thorax protection.
Moving it open on this side, I have the liner unzipped so you can see sanitized lining,
basic pocket from Dianese.
Remember, using upgraded snaps, upgraded zippers, and then we have that mesh lining that in
the hotter times of the year, against your body, it's going to be comfortable.
Remember, the Super Speed is going to flow a ton of air, but the nice part is you can
take it early spring.
You can take it maybe mid fall.
Depending on how crazy you are, you could even stretch it further by sticking one of
your base layers or mid layers underneath it.
Handful of colors available, just over that $300 price point.
I would love to hear your feedback.
This is a new type of product from Dianese.
It's an Apex mesh product with a very aggressive look.
I want to know if you like it as much as we do, because I think we really, really dig
it.
