TRAILTEC JERSEY

A superlight and close (but not tight) fitting jersey is what we have here with the Trailtec from Dainese. A featherweight yet robust polyester Dryide fabric with plenty of stretch is the used for the main body panels with a highly ventilated fabric on the side panels and a slight dropped hem at the rear. The shoulders and arms are a ¾ length and in a smoother rip-stop fabric, sitting close to the skin and giving good mobility. A well cut shape with no fuss, zips or pockets keeps bulk low and comfort high. This is a clean-cut jersey for fast trail rides in warm dry conditions.

PRICE: £59.95

SIZES: XS – XXL (S – XXL in UK)

ATMO-LITE 3L JACKET

As a key piece of clothing from the new Dainese Altitune range, the Atmo-Lite is packed full of tech and design details.

The Atmo-Lite is a fully waterproof, windproof and highly breathable jacket made from D-Dry, a three layer laminated fabric with the clever technology in between the outer face material and the lining. It’s robust, machine washable and is built to withstand the hard use (and abuse) that comes with mountainbiking in all weathers. The fit of this jacket is well considered; shorter at the front, longer at the rear and with good articulation around the shoulders, giving unrestricted movement when riding out of the saddle. The arm length is also spot on too. The Atmo-Lite has a proper cut without it looking odd when off the bike.

Details are well thought through by the Dainese team, showing their experience in clothing design. A fixed hood (which sits under your helmet) is useful when the weather turns really nasty and has plenty of adjustment. Temperature control is taken care of via two zipped pit vents, sitting to each side of the jacket and not interfering with the straps from a pack. Laser-cut perforations sit below the armpit helping airflow further. A zipped chest pocket is useful for a phone or keys – this is the only storage as Dainese assume you’ll be more than likely using a backpack for carrying anything else. The colour choices are black, grey, blue or bright green.

A top quality jacket for your kitbag that covers all aspects of your riding through the four seasons in any terrain.
