700 FILL POWER GOOSE DOWN
Fill Power is the volume-to-weight ratio of goose down filling that provides a clear indicator of product quality. The loftier the individual plumes are, the fewer are needed to obtain the desired volume. Consequently, the higher the Fill Power, the higher the down's quality: high volume, low weight. 700 Fill Power provides motorcycle garments with exceptional insulation as well as the highest degree of lightness.

3M™ SCOTCHLITE
Scotchlite is a special refractive material produced by 3M Company. Thanks to its particular flexible structure made of glass micro-beads combined with a reflective layer on the back part of the stripe, the sheeting glows brightly when it reflects a light source and the glow is caught within a small angle of vision of the wearer's eye, but appears non-reflective when viewed from other directions. This is extremely useful for safety purposes, as it significantly increases the visibility of clothes at night.

SUPERFABRIC®
SuperFabric® is among the most durable, toughest fabric in the world, an innovative ceramic-coated low friction material that can provide very high levels of abrasion and slash resistance. SuperFabric® technology takes a fabric and overlays it with tiny plates (“guard plates”) in a specific arrangement. The gaps between guard plates allow complete flexibility. It won’t snag like knitted fabrics, which is especially important in helping protect against the additional injuries caused by material catching or pulling. It allows air to pass in and around the tiny guard plates creating a remarkable air-breathing product.

WOVEN
Innovative materials and finishes for ultimate protection plus maximum freedom of movement. Dainese Woven technology uses special electronic knitting machines to integrate glass and polyester fibers into the fabric. These are positioned on the most exposed areas of the garment to offer incomparable resistance against sharp objects and friction. All this whilst maintaining an exceptionally soft texture and excellent elasticity. Positioned on the outer surface of the fabric, the glass fibers offer superb abrasion resistance. The polymer fibers, integrated into the inner surface of the fabric, ensure optimal elasticity so that the garment can follow the shape of the body with exceptional precision, meaning maximum comfort and a flawless fit.

GOOSE DOWN
Goose down is the layer of underplumage that geese have beneath their feathers to keep them warm and dry. A down cluster is soft and fluffy and has filaments growing in all directions. Unlike feathers, down does not have quills. Goose down is traditionally used to fill pillows, duvets and other types of bedding. Goose down clusters are superior as they are larger and therefore possess more fill power and have better insulating properties than down from any other bird. Goose down is luxuriously soft, resilient and has excellent insulating properties. It varies in color from white to dark gray. It is also extremely breathable. Water vapor can pass through the down whilst the air pockets retain their warmth.
