Dainese

Enduro Knee Guard

Years of research into racing and high-performance materials were necessary to develop the most advanced Dainese knee pad of all time. The Enduro Knee Guards feature a complex hybrid construction that mixes the extra mobility and breathability of the nature-inspired Pro-Armor padding with the high durability and impact resistance of ABS technology. The engineered construction covers specific areas of the knee bones like the kneecap and the shinbone, while the extended Pro-Armor construction provides great coverage to cartilage during sliding falls. Extra protection is offered by the three Crash Absorb pads on the inner section to lessen bumps with the frame and other possible injuries. The Enduro Knee Guard is developed around the shape of the knee to provide the rider with extreme freedom of movement while pedaling and maximum comfort even after miles of aggressive riding.

Mission Workshop – Sans Microlight Rain Jacket

Advanced Projects is Mission Workshop’s series of products designed and built with zero compromises. They are the pieces we create to push the limits of what is possible with materials technology and design. At 5.6 ounces, the Sans is Mission’s Workshop’s newest Advanced Project and one of the lightest waterproof jackets in the world. What makes the Sans truly special, however, is that even at that weight, it feels like a real jacket — not a stripped-down shell only meant for emergencies. It stretches, has multiple hood adjustments and a full-size zippered chest pocket. And, importantly, it is a 3-layer garment built to last for many years — not a 2-layer garment with a polyurethane membrane designed to be retired after a season or two.

The Sans is built from 50 gsm 3-layer fabric made especially for Mission Workshop by Toray® in Japan. It utilizes Toray’s ultra-high-performance Entrant® microporous membrane that is highly waterproof and highly breathable – with a water column rating of 30,000 and MVTR of 30,000+. The Sans has a tailored silhouette designed to excel as a rain shell and/or wind shell for a wide range of activities including cycling, hiking, climbing, trail running, travel, and city commutes. It retails for $475.
