DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered for riders who refuse to compromise on everyday protection, the Dainese Wave 13 D1 Air back protector delivers certified Level 2 safety in a ventilated, ergonomic package that you will genuinely want to wear on every ride. Sized for riders over 180 cm, with part number 20187610200100, it bridges the gap between track-day armour and all-day touring comfort with impressive ease.
Key Features
- CE Category II certified to EN 1621.2/2014 Level 2 — the highest back protector rating for road and track use
- Aluminium honeycomb inner core combined with Crash Absorb® foam for superior impact absorption and even energy distribution
- Perforated, wave-form polypropylene outer shell maintains structural integrity while allowing constant airflow across your back
- Dual-adjustable lumbar strap and a lumbar articulation joint deliver a secure, custom fit without restricting movement
- Removable and adjustable shoulder straps let you fine-tune the fit to your jacket or wear the protector as a standalone unit
- Breathable polyester-mesh inner lining wicks moisture and keeps your back cool on long summer rides
Build Quality and Protection
At the heart of the Wave 13 D1 Air sits a thermoformed dual-density support structure that wraps around your spine and absorbs energy from multiple angles. The aluminium honeycomb frame provides a rigid backbone, while the Crash Absorb® foam layer beneath dissipates impact force before it reaches you. The outer shell is moulded from polypropylene with a distinctive wave profile — that geometry is not decorative; it stiffens the panel without adding mass and creates open channels through which air circulates freely.
The inner lining is constructed from breathable polyester mesh, a material chosen specifically to pull perspiration away from skin and allow it to evaporate. The lumbar and shoulder straps are made from double-jersey fabric, soft enough to sit comfortably against your body during hours in the saddle.
Ergonomics and Adjustability
Dainese has built genuine adjustability into the Wave 13 D1 Air rather than offering a one-size-fits-most compromise. The lumbar band is doubly adjustable so you can dial in both the vertical position and the tension independently. A dedicated lumbar articulation joint allows the lower section of the protector to flex with your spine as you move between seating positions — critical for sport-touring and track riding where body position changes constantly. The shoulder straps can be removed entirely if your jacket already holds the protector securely, keeping the system versatile across your wardrobe.
Ventilation for Everyday Riding
The perforated outer panels are the primary ventilation feature: open channels in the polypropylene shell channel moving air directly against the mesh lining throughout a ride. Whether you are filtering through city traffic or holding motorway pace on a long tour, the airflow system prevents the heat build-up that makes cheaper protectors feel oppressive on warm days. This is the version sized for riders taller than 180 cm, ensuring the panel covers the full length of your lumbar and thoracic spine without riding up.
Fitment and Compatibility
The Wave 13 D1 Air is a standalone back protector designed to be worn inside compatible Dainese jackets or used independently with its integrated harness system. This listing covers the size for rider height greater than 180 cm / 70.9 in. The protector is also available in a size for riders up to 180 cm — select the correct option before adding to your basket.
Warranty
Dainese provides a 2-year warranty in accordance with current manufacturer guidelines. The warranty covers conformity defects and entitles you to free repair or replacement parts under Dainese's stated terms and conditions.
