Collaboration with world-class technical laboratories optimize perfectly the vision of their skiers. Dainese’s passion and commitment to safety is thus as strong as its desire for the podium. The logo says it all. The Speed Demon moves last in a definite direction, seeing things that mortals can’t imagine. Just as the armadillo’s shell and the lobster’s exoskeleton are the result of aeons of adaptive evolutions, so Dainese protective products are the result of a constantly adapting, evolving energy that seek the perfect protective solution. Dainese protective gear is made for all conditions and all situations, giving you the confidence to push boundaries, and step right to the edge of what’s possible. Style, aesthetic, form and function are conceived as an integral whole that chimes perfectly with the times ensuring product development and exactitude in manufacturing are equally important elements of the products’ identity.
