Still don’t understand why they can’t put an A/B switch on it.

So I asked the question: "Is this jacket suitable for use on the race track ? I am looking for something that I could wear on the street and at the track, over my leathers"
Dainese answered the question on the website "The Smart Jacket is part of our "Street" collection so there are some differences between that and our "Race" D-Air system. The street system has a more sensitive algorithm than the race system due to the more aggressive nature of track riding. Something like a partial highside into a tank-slapper might not deploy the race system if you ride it out. The street system might deploy in that case, however. Ultimately, you are welcome to use it on the track, but it is best intended for street use.

You got me curious - so I asked them too.

Got any questions? I'm happy to help.

Hi there. I have a question on the Dainese Smart Jacket.

Is this jacket suitable for use on the race track ? I am looking for something that I could wear on the street and at the track, over my leathers

Hi there,

The Smart Jacket is intended for street use over track use.

It could be used on the track and will still offer protection, however it's algorithm is more sensitive that a track-specific version.

Hmm okay. So will it, say, deploy on accident if I'm dragging elbow into turn 1 at Blackhawk Farms?

Lean angle alone won't deploy the Smart Jacket.

But some extreme inputs, or a tank slapper might trigger our street systems.

Whereas the track systems won't prematurely deploy in those systems.

4:42 PM

ah okay.

Thanks for the clarification, Corey.

They can, they just don't want to cut into their D-Air suit sales.

Like an A* Tech Air Race, there is a software A/B switch.
