- Does the Carve Master 3 include a back protector?
- No. It has a pocket for a Dainese G1 or G2 back protector, which is sold separately. Elbow and shoulder Pro-Armor Level 2 Type B protectors are included.
- Can I wear it in summer?
- Yes, with the thermal liner removed and the chest and back vents open. Owners say ventilation works well above about 20 degrees, but it is not a mesh summer jacket.
- Is it fully waterproof?
- It uses a GORE-TEX membrane, so it is waterproof and breathable. It is not a laminated shell, so the outer fabric can soak up water in long heavy rain.
- What is the difference from the Carve Master 2?
- The Carve Master 3 moves to Pro-Armor Level 2 Type B protectors at the elbows and shoulders and keeps the GORE-TEX membrane and removable liner. It is an evolution of the same all-weather touring formula.
- How does it compare with a laminated Gore-Tex touring jacket?
- A laminated jacket bonds the membrane to the outer shell, so it absorbs less water and dries faster. The Carve Master 3 is softer and more comfortable off the bike but can wet out in sustained rain.
- What pockets does it have?
- Four outer pockets, two of them waterproof, and two inner pockets. There are also dedicated pockets for a back protector and a double chest protector.
