The clothes at Eicma 2018 in 6 shots

Eicma 2018 baderts itself as an absolute showcase of two-wheeled clothing. We took the opportunity to tell you about 6 items proudly made by Italian companies that raise the bar and, fortunately, the security of the market in the field of technical clothing.

Alpinestars 24Ride

We have not missed the opportunity to test the Tech-Air airbag system directly on the Asolo booth, here in combination with 24Ride urban jacket. The only difference from the actual operation is that, in our case, jacket inflation takes about a second, while it takes only 55 milliseconds (25 for detection and 30 for inflation). The immediate sensation, as it may seem trivial to say, is of great protection on the bust, back and shoulders. Even if we try to hit our chest more and more violently, we feel no pain because the energy of the impact is redistributed over a fairly large part of the body. There are several Alpinestars jacket models that are compatible with this airbag, but we were particularly pleased to see how the maximum level of protection can now be applied even in non-competitive environments such as the city, for which the 24Ride was designed. thought.

Dainese Antartica

We were literally attracted by this wonder. A garment extremely evolved in every way. Materials, equipment and ergonomics at the cutting edge of technology. The outer fabric is Gore Tex laminate for maximum impermeability, breathability and lightness. For the most affected areas, such as elbows, the Trixior, an ultra-resistant and lightweight material designed by Dainese. the The lumbar adjustment belt is external and on its sides, there are two large pockets that, thanks to their positioning, do not weigh on the jacket during the walk, which helps to improve comfort. The wrists are neoprene for maximum insulation, while three nautical hinges contribute to the ventilation (so totally waterproof), two at the front of the chest and an extraction at the base of the back. The two mesh pockets at the armpit height are useful and innovative, useful for storing gloves during shorter stops. The jacket is equipped internally with removable duvet in real goose down. To improve ergonomics, Dainese is largely inspired by studies on the human body conducted by MIT and NASA regarding "non-extending lines", Or the identification of points on the human body that do not undergo dilations or contractions during movements.In particular, the seams of Antartica were designed to draw these lines and, therefore, for create more symbiosis with the body of the cyclist There are the inevitable CE protections on the shoulders, elbows and backs Public price € 1,399.
