Product Information
Full details
The Dainese Trail Skins Pro Tee is a versatile torso protector designed for adult cyclists seeking reliable protection without sacrificing comfort or mobility. Its key benefit is the integration of soft, removable Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors that adapt to movement and expand on impact. A potential caveat is that while highly breathable, it is still a protective garment and may feel warmer than a standard cycling jersey in extreme heat.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the auxetic material in the protectors?
The auxetic material expands in all directions upon impact, increasing the coverage area of the protector precisely where it's needed.
Can I wash the Dainese Trail Skins Pro Tee with the protectors inside?
No, it is essential to remove all protectors before washing the tee to prevent damage to both the protectors and the garment.
Is this tee suitable for downhill mountain biking?
While it offers good torso protection, it is certified to CE EN 1621.1 and CE EN 1621.2 Level 1. For high-impact downhill riding, you may require garments with Level 2 protection or more rigid armor.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The tee should fit snugly like a base layer, but not be uncomfortably tight. Ensure you can move your arms freely and that the protectors sit correctly over the intended areas without shifting.
Can I wear this under a full-sleeve jersey?
Yes, the Trail Skins Pro Tee is designed to be worn as a base layer and can be worn under most cycling jerseys or jackets.
Are the rear pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The rear pockets are designed for small essentials like keys, gels, or a small multi-tool. A larger smartphone may not fit securely or comfortably.
What is the material of the tee?
The tee is made from a highly breathable, run-resistant mesh jersey, composed of 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane.
Troubleshooting
Protectors feel stiff or rigid.
Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors are designed to soften with body heat. Wear the garment for a short period to allow them to conform to your body shape.
Tee feels too warm during intense activity.
Ensure the tee is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Consider the ambient temperature; while breathable, it offers protection which can add warmth. For extreme heat, removable protectors can be partially or fully removed if protection needs are lower.
Rear pockets feel insecure for larger items.
The rear pockets are designed for small, lightweight essentials. For larger or heavier items, consider using a cycling bib or a small backpack.
Protector shifts during riding.
Ensure the protectors are correctly seated within their internal pockets and that the tee is tucked securely into your pants. A proper fit is crucial for keeping protectors in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Dainese Trail Skins Pro Tee comes with pre-inserted protectors. To customize, locate the internal pockets for the shoulder, chest, and back protectors. Gently slide the protectors out. Reinsert them following the shape of the pocket, ensuring they lie flat and are correctly oriented according to the internal markings.

Care Instructions:
- Remove Protectors: Before washing, carefully remove all Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors from their respective pockets.
- Wash the Tee: Machine wash the tee on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Hang the tee to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric and affect its elasticity.
