The Antartica GORE-TEX® 2 pants complete the most advanced motorcycle touring outfit, ideal when exploring the coldest lands on the planet. Designed to ensure superlative thermal insulation & greater protection in the most extreme conditions. Inspired by research into the human body’s lines of non-extension, used by Dainese & MIT when designing the space suits that NASA astronauts will wear on their journey to Mars, these pants combine 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 & atmospheric agents, allowing its wearer to tackle long journeys in all conditions, with the benefit of maximum breathability. The removable 700 Fill Power down lining offers maximum thermal insulation, essential when exploring in the coldest climates on Earth. Large air vents on the thighs, directed to the body & easy to operate while wearing gloves, allow the wearer to set the ideal level of ventilation for maximum comfort when traveling. Protection in every situation is guaranteed by Pro-Armor Level 2, Type B protectors on knees & hips, which boast the highest level of certification & coverage area for limb protectors, while ventilation & freedom of movement are guaranteed by Dainese Pro-Armor technology, inspired by the geometries of natural fractals. The areas most sensitive to impact are reinforced with exclusive Trixior D-Tec, an engineered fabric that is highly resistant to abrasion & wear. Its electronic processing ensures the optimum thickness & structure so as to faithfully trace the body’s movements.

Garments treated with GORE-TEX® technology offer superior performance & durability. 700 Fill-Power Goose Down Fill power refers to the volume-to-weight ratio of goose down fillings & 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. Dainese Pro-Armor protectors Safety gives freedom. The Antartica 2 features removable Pro-Armor protectors (Level 2, Type B) on the elbows & shoulders. Pro-Armor technology provides the highest level of limb protection, coupled with high freedom of movement & exceptional ventilation, thanks to the soft structure inspired by natural fractals & the ventilated surface that covers 40% of the protector area. A construction without rigid & bulky materials that allows complete freedom of movement & 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 & result from revolutionary technology. Using virtual prototypes, Dainese technicians have successfully created a fabric with controlled geometry & 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"
