Dainese does not only excel in their stylish designs and high quality, but also in the safety of their motorcycle clothing. They have for sure used Rossi's experiences for it. Dainese belongs to one of the biggest and most popular motorcycle clothing brands in the world. The success of Dainese is not only due to the fact that Valentino Rossi is connected with the brand. But mainly because of the contemporary stylish design, safety and particularly high quality of Dainese. The items are designed and tested for use on the street and the circuit. The motorcycle clothing collection of Dainese is therefore suitable for all types of motorcyclists.

In the 90s, Barry sheene (motorcycle road racer) asked for better protection for his back after another hard fall. The team of Dainese started working on his question and developed the revolutionary back protector. The idea of a shield was derived from the shell of a lobster. But that is not all, Dainese continues to innovate and has once again introduced a revolutionary product to the market. It concerns gloves and boots which you wear underneath your motorbike suit. These products are part of the in-line series of Dainese.

The leather suits of Dainese are equipped with the maximum protection level and the textile motorbike clothing has several distinctive features with their blow-through clothing being the most special. The collection further consists of Base layers and motorbike jeans.
