Dainese Antartica 2, Textile Jacket Gore-Tex

The Antartica GORE-TEX® 2 jacket is the most advanced motorcycle touring garment, ideal when exploring the coldest lands on the planet. Designed to ensure superlative thermal insulation and greater protection in the most extreme conditions. Inspired by research into the human body’s lines of non-extension, used by Dainese and MIT when designing the space suits that NASA astronauts will wear on their journey to Mars, this jacket combines maximum protective technology with ergonomics that ensure total freedom of movement in the saddle. The 20, 000 mm GORE-TEX® laminated membrane serves as a shield against rain, snow and atmospheric agents, allowing its wearer to tackle long journeys in all conditions, with the benefit of maximum breathability. The 700 Fill Power down lining, which
is removable and can be worn separately, offers ultimate thermal insulation, essential when exploring in the coldest climates on earth. Large front air vents directed to the body are easy to operate while wearing gloves and allow the wearer to set the ideal level of ventilation for maximum comfort when traveling. Antartica 2 GORE-TEX® is designed to offer maximum practicality even on the most demanding journeys. Two floating, waterproof side pockets, a large waterproof cargo pocket on the back, and the iconic external G.O. Pockets for the stowing of gloves during short breaks allow the wearer to conveniently store all essential equipment so that it is always close at hand. Protection in every situation is guaranteed by Pro-Armor Level 2, Type B protectors on the shoulders and
elbows, which boast the highest level of certification and coverage area for limb protectors, while ventilation and freedom of movement are guaranteed by Dainese Pro-Armor technology, inspired by the geometries of natural fractals. A pocket on the back allows for the insertion of a removable Pro-Armor back protector. The areas most sensitive to impact are reinforced with exclusive Trixior D-Tec, an engineered fabric that is highly resistant to abrasion and wear. Its electronic processing ensures the optimum thickness and structure so as to faithfully trace the body’s movements. The jacket also features an advanced ergonomic lumbar belt for fit adjustment and neoprene cuffs.

Garments treated with GORE-TEX® technology offer superior performance and durability. 700 Fill-Power Goose Down Fill power refers to the volume-to-weight ratio of goose down fillings and is a sure indicator of product quality. The puffier the individual feathers are, the less is needed to achieve the desired volume. Consequently, the higher the filling power, the higher the quality of the feather fluff. High volume with
low weight, in other words. A fill power of 700 ensures motorcycle clothing with exceptional thermal insulation at maximum lightness. External glove pockets (G.O. Pockets) The unique external G.O. Pockets are an exclusive and extremely functional extra for real adventurers. These pockets allow you to quickly stow gloves during short breaks and keep all your essential gear always at hand. External adjustable lumbar belt The external adjustable lumbar belt gives the garment a perfect fit and offers the possibility to change the fit without opening the jacket. Dainese Pro-Armor protectors Safety gives freedom. The Antartica 2 features removable Pro-Armor protectors (Level 2, Type B) on the elbows and shoulders. Pro-Armor technology provides the highest level of limb protection, coupled
with high freedom of movement and exceptional ventilation, thanks to the soft structure inspired by natural fractals and the ventilated surface that covers 40% of the protector area. A construction without rigid and bulky materials that allows complete freedom of movement and superior comfort on the bike in any situation. Trixior Reflex Thread D-TEC Engineered Hyper Fabric - Emerging from Dainese s cutting-edge materials research, TRIXIOR is a unique material and result from revolutionary technology. Using virtual prototypes, Dainese technicians have successfully created a fabric with controlled geometry and thickness, weaving materials with different properties for each area. The same technology was also used to incorporate highly reflective threads in the most exposed areas of the
body for an even better result. Test ratings "Very Good" - Motorrad & Reisen 111 07-08/2022
