Dainese, the Italian manufacturer of technical equipment and protections for dynamic sports, has also been a consolidated brand in the mountain bike discipline for years and is raising the bar for the Fall/Winter 2022 season.

The new HGC range proposed by Dainese is waterproof, windproof and thermal and has been specifically created for the needs of mountain bike enthusiasts: the sudden change in weather conditions, frequent starts and stops, wildly varying speeds and inconstant levels of effort .

The use of Polartec® Alpha® Direct technology, an evolution of the original Alpha® technology eliminates the need for a support fabric thanks to its insulating properties, guaranteeing warmth and breathability.
Originally developed for the US Special Forces, Alpha® is also suitable for the bike sector to guarantee an exchange of air, creating lasting comfort.

Respecting the motto "Dainese Made to Pedal", the HGC garments are characterized by Polartec® insulating technology for maximum protection in the name of safety, freedom of movement and comfort without ever having to stop pedalling.

DAINESE HYBRID JACKET

With the Hybrid Jacket HGC, available in men's and women's versions, you'll have everything at your fingertips. It is light and breathable and guarantees maximum freedom of movement. Inside the Dainese Hybrid Jacket, the cyclist can take advantage of the highly advanced Polartec® Alpha® Direct, an evolution of the original Alpha® technology that eliminates the need for a support fabric. Inserts in Alpha® Direct have been strategically placed inside the jacket to guarantee breathable warmth and insulating properties on the move, confirming its peculiarities of being versatile and effective.

Originally developed for the US Special Forces to deal with harsh combat conditions, Alpha® Direct ensures constant temperature maintenance and, because the fibers are woven around a solid core, can be worn directly against the skin allowing for greater breathability during the sporting activity. This air-exchange technology creates lasting comfort, without the need to continually remove layers of clothing. The result is a warming boost, a comfortable indoor climate and a jacket you never have to take off.

Recommended retail price: € 199,95

DAINESE HYBRID VEST

The Dainese Hybrid Vest of the HGC mountain bike line uses, also in this case, for both women and men, Polartec® Alpha® Direct which, once again, has been strategically positioned inside the garment. This vest offers excellent additional protection from low temperatures especially when going downhill, keeping the body temperature constant.
As with the jacket, the insulation capability of Alpha® Direct allows the rider to stay warm during the ride and, thanks to its excellent wicking properties, eliminates post-ride chill due to moisture build-up in the jacket.

Recommended retail price: € 149,95

The Dainese HGC Collection has been designed to protect against bad weather so that bikers can tackle the slopes in any weather and temperature.
The two garments are available on the site www.dainese.com
