Dainese Aero Evo C2 Dainese Aero Evo C2 EU52 White/Blue/Fluo Red

New with tags Dainese Aero Evo C2, size 52 EU. The Dainese tote bag, suit bag/dust cover, and leather protection kit are all included.

I bought this Dainese suit brand new at the beginning of November from a shop in Spain. Couldn't find any local retailers to try it on. The only nearby shop listed as a Dainese retailer stocks precisely zero suits of any sort Anyway, I tried it on when it got here, and I'm not 100% thrilled with the fit. Hasn't left the house or been on any rides...it's just hanging there taunting me. Returning it would've cost me another $300; at that rate I'll either find a buyer or just live with it.

I paid $966, and that's what I'm aiming to recover. Closeout prices at Revzilla are still $1200. I have no idea what's best regarding payment method. Despite years of buying things online, I've never sold anything . If by some miracle I do get it sold, I plan to reinvest in a custom suit from Hazardous. So...well, you should probably just get a custom one from them or another custom shop instead, but feel free to buy my Dainese suit if you want. I'd certainly appreciate it.

FYI you should really look in to how custom orders through Hazardous have gone for previous customers.

tl;dr - not well.

I'll do that - any suggested horror stories?

Interesting that they just signed on as something like a preferred vendor for TPM, which hosts the most accessible ninjette race series I've encountered in this part of the world. They've also been the best experience I've had with any of the tailors or sellers I've talked to in the past couple months, so I'm certainly curious what was wrong with the product.

..but as long as the above remains unsold, any custom shop is just a curiosity for me.
