Dainese

The AWA (All Weather Activity) collection from Dainese is purposefully designed to take you wherever you want to go. Thanks to a unique combination of technical innovation and forward-looking design AWA apparel adapts to suit multiple outdoor sports, activity levels, climates, and weather.

AWA Tee 4

The knit used in this tee differs from traditional woven fabrics, enabling precise functional construction with seamless zoning and engineered performance in critical areas. The material features a double bi-component knit construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. The hydrophilic inner surface is optimized to wick moisture away from the skin, while the hydrophobic yarn used for the outer surface dries quickly. This tee is pure AWA: engineered to be cross-functional with a crew neck and clean styling that make it work just as well off the bike as on.

AWA Wind Jacket

Highly-packable minimalist jacket. Windproof and showerproof, it’s ideal for carrying at all times to be prepared for any unforeseen change in the weather. Using an ultra-lightweight DWR treated fabric, this jacket stows conveniently in its inner pocket. Reducing to minimal pack size, it’s the perfect emergency layer for cool mountain summits, cold descents or as a backup for sudden light showers. The low-profile collar with Lycra gusset and micro-brushed lining adapts snuggly to the neck, sealing out the weather without chafing or restricting movement. The sleeves are pre-shaped with seam darts for riding comfort and to reduce any fabric flapping.

AWA Hybrid Jacket

AWA Hybrid offers a combination of unique performance attributes that are highly sought after by outdoor athletes looking for versatility. Designed to be worn in both the “stop” and “go” phases and to adapt to different intensity levels, it copes superbly with overheating phases like hard climbs. Wind protection is provided in the lower-core and kidney area by an extremely lightweight fabric outer with a low denier rating and high-density weave.

AWA Shorts

These lighter weight shorts are designed for all-mountain rides and whatever you do once you’re off the bike. The exceptionally stretchy fabric used enables them to be engineered for high performance without stretch gusset and inserts, resulting in a streamlined construction and cleaner looks that are perfect for its cross-functional purpose. Two side stash pockets with durable Vislon zippers provide abundant storage. The bottom hem is slightly shorter at the back for pedaling comfort and longer at the front to avoid any skin gaps when knee pads are worn.

HG Jersey 2

The HG Jersey 2 is explicitly designed around the demands of Enduro athletes, featuring a durable, lightweight microfiber fabric with excellent mechanical stretch. The ¾ tapered sleeve is cut to suit an aggressive riding position with seams running around the inside of the elbow rather than in the middle.

HG Shorts 1

The most durable rugged shorts in our range, but still exceptionally light and stretchy compared with traditional downhill shorts. Abrasion resistance is enhanced by a ripstop-woven 120 g/sq. m fabric and panels in SuperFabric – an innovative ceramic-coated low friction material that’s ideal for fending off scuffs and scrapes from rock, brush, and debris. SuperFabric won’t snag like knitted fabrics, which is primarily crucial in helping protect against the additional injuries caused by material catching or pulling. Developed with the contribution of pro athletes, these shorts feature an asymmetric bottom hem, slightly shorter at the back for pedaling comfort and longer at the front to avoid any skin gaps when knee pads are worn.
