Dainese introduced the new Explorer range, a product line engineered to handle the most extreme weather conditions and designed specifically for on- and off-road adventure touring.
From the glacial cold of the Arctic Circle to scorching desert heat, by way of Alpine passes and infinite lengths of road, the new Dainese Explorer products are designed to protect riders and passengers in the most extreme weather. Dainese Explorer sets a new standard for touring gear with the perfect blend of technology, comfort, and safety.
To develop Explorer, Dainese carried over its knowledge and experience from collaborating with MIT to develop specialized high-tech bodysuits to support the needs of astronauts who will go on Mission to Mars 2030. By studying and mapping the human body’s lines of non-extension – areas where movement causes neither stretching or contraction – Dainese has developed products with unprecedented lightness and comfort through advanced ergonomics and exceptional fit.
The New Explorer range now includes the just-launched Antarctica, Gran Turismo and Dolomiti products, which will be available in early 2019:
Antarctica GORE-TEX
The new Antarctica GORE-TEX outfit defines a new standard for motorbike exploration in the coldest lands on planet. Designed for supreme thermal insulation, this is the ultimate garment to face extreme riding adventures. The removable inner goose down jacket in the Antarctica allows confidence in the coldest, most extreme climates, and can be worn separately for continuous warmth off the bike. The laminated GORE-TEX 45.000mm shell is an unequalled protection against the elements and, combined with the direct-to-the-body vents with Tizip zippers technology on chest, provide the perfect ventilation in warmer situations. External Fast-Fit lumbar belt allows precision fitting of jacket and integrated Pro-Armor back protector without the need to open the jacket, preserving internal microclimate. The innovative Adapt pockets on lower body feature an independent construction engineered to adapt from standing to riding position, offering an uncompromised fit during the journey.
