Providing people with head-to-toe protection in dynamic sports


This has been the company’s mission ever since it was founded in 1972,a mission that Dainese has pursued on racetracks and slopes all around the world together with some of the greatest racers of all time. Beating the competition at the highest level demands only the best athletes, methods and equipment that talent and research can ever hope to put together while providing an extraordinary opportunity to place these competitors, technology and products to the toughest test of all.

Together with the likes of Kenny Roberts, Barry Sheene, GiacomoAgostini,  and Valentino Rossi, Dainese has gone down in motorcycle racing history as a pioneer of rider protection, thanks to its development of products like the back protector and knee slider or the further evolution of existing products with innovative technologies and materials. Dainese was the first to introduce carbon fibre and Kevlar protection in its gloves, boots and racing suits. Dainese was the first to consider protection as a “head-to-toe” concept that permeates all the various motorcycle rider’s clothing and protection for optimised performance and weights. From head to toe completely, nothing less.

Today’s growing public concern for the problem of safety on the roads and during sports activity grants greater significance to the Dainese mission as the company keeps looking further into the future and continues developing even more advanced projects for safety and comfort like air-bags and rider-vehicle integration.
