At Eurobike we also got a tour of the new Dainese range. As usual everything is top quality but what really stood in terms of innovation out is their brand new XC range.

Taking advantage of cutting edge nanotechnology the range integrates breathable soft shell with the fantastic d30 material. In case you didn’t know, d30 uses nanotechnology to create a fabric which is flexible under normal conditions but stiffens on impact. So you get comfy, lightweight clothing which still protects you when things (inevitably in my case)  go wrong. We expect this to be a big hit primarily amongst trail centre riders who want protection but not have to carry heavy body armour to the top of the hill, but also for those quick blast kind of rides were you might be sessioning a section in your local woods and just want to help make sure you’ll still be able to get to work if the worst happens. Also, it looks quite cool. 🙂

Anyway, we’ll have the new Dainese XC body armour in stock soon – let us know what you think in the comments below.
