Dainese D-Air Street system

[mania]

Watching MotoGP this year & the telemetry charts of riders impacts

when their airbag suits went off was pretty impressive. Mainly was Alpine Star

info though. But impressive that most are walking away from some very heavy high G crashes

I did not realize Dainese has had a street system for awhile now too I guess?

Two parts...The vest/jacket unit of course &

Accelerometer sensors on forks and frame mounts on the bike

They claim with the system the crash forces on your back are reduced

82% over a back protector. Which seems pretty amazing

Not that pricey for guys that do long rides etc.

Will be nice if they continue to evolve & get a lot cheaper still

I like it- a big problem for LOS will be complete lack of airflow, though- the air-bag system won't allow any sort of ventilation.
