Riding a motorcycle in low temperatures is not only uncomfortable, but can be dangerous. A drop in body temperature of just 1-2 degrees centigrade can instigate symptoms of hypothermia and may lead to impaired concentration, coordination and drowsiness – potentially lethal when in charge of a motor vehicle.
After the great success of the initiative to encourage the use of the Back Protector, Dainese launches a new promotion characterized by total comfort
From 15th September to 30th November 2009, in all Dainese flagship stores and authorized dealers participating in the operation, when purchasing a Dainese jacket with a minimum value of 260, you will receive a free Top Map Therm thermal top. By adding 17, you can complete your technical underwear with the Pant Map Therm thermal pants.
Engineering
Cold Killers have re-engineered their entire collection of Men’s and Women’s windproof base layer clothing for an even better fit. With a well-established reputation for comfort, the changes for winter 2009/10 are subtle, such as lengthening the body and increasing the neck circumference on sports tops, designed to further enhance the snug fit experienced thanks to the use of Softshell fabric with exclusive active stretch.
A great number of people I speak to seem to be baffled by the use of a base layer, either they have not experienced one or are under some misconception that they are just another way for clothing companies to eek more cash out of a transaction. Among them I tend to see standard cotton tshirts being worn, along with complaints of sweatiness in hot weather, along with difficulty in removing leather trousers which people always view as one of the major gripes with fully protective gear. So what if I can convince them that there is another, easier way?
Part of the Softshell insulating base layer collection, Cold Killers Hot Hood, Maxi Tube and Mini Tube are designed to help keep the face and neck warm and dry whatever the weather. All feature a unique three-ply windproof, waterproof and insulating laminate construction, which works to prevent wind chill, allows warm air to circulate around the skin, and helps prevent water ingress. The Hot Hood and Mini Tube retail for £16.99 each while the Maxi Tube, which has an extended chest area too, sells for £19.99.
