Product Information
Full details
The Dainese Trail Skins Pro Tee is a versatile torso protector for adult riders seeking comprehensive, yet flexible, impact protection. Its key benefit lies in the removable Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors that adapt to movement and offer excellent ventilation, making it ideal for warm-weather riding. A potential caveat is that the protection levels are CE EN 1621.1 and CE EN 1621.2 Level 1, which may not be sufficient for all extreme riding disciplines. This T-shirt integrates soft, removable protectors on the shoulders, back, and chest, constructed with auxetic geometry for expanding coverage upon impact. The highly breathable, run-resistant mesh fabric ensures comfort even on hot days, and the design allows it to be easily tucked into pants for stability. Removable protectors facilitate easy cleaning and customization of protection.

FAQs
What type of riding is the Trail Skins Pro Tee best suited for?
It's ideal for trail riding, enduro, all-mountain biking, and general off-road use where a balance of flexibility, breathability, and moderate impact protection is desired. It is also suitable for warm weather conditions.
Can I wear this with other protective gear?
Yes, it is designed to be worn as a base layer and is compatible with other protective gear like knee pads, elbow guards, and gloves for a comprehensive setup.
How do I clean the Trail Skins Pro Tee?
Remove the Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors before washing. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air dry only.
What is the protection level of the Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors?
The Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors, along with the integrated back protector, are CE certified to EN 1621.1 and EN 1621.2 Level 1 standards.
Are the protectors removable?
Yes, the Pro-Shape 2.0 protectors for the shoulders, back, and chest are easily removable, allowing for convenient washing of the T-shirt and customization of protection.
Will this tee fit under a jersey without being bulky?
Yes, the slim profile and flexible nature of the T-shirt and its protectors are designed to be worn comfortably under most standard riding jerseys without excessive bulk.
What does 'auxetic technology' mean for the protectors?
Auxetic technology refers to materials that expand in all directions simultaneously when subjected to stress or impact. This design increases the area of coverage and enhances protective capabilities at the point of impact.
Can I wear this without a jersey over it?
While comfortable enough to wear on its own in certain casual settings, it is designed as protective riding apparel to be worn as a base layer under other riding garments for optimal function and protection.
Troubleshooting
Protectors feel uncomfortable or shift during riding.
Ensure protectors are correctly inserted into their designated pockets and that the T-shirt is worn snugly. Check that the T-shirt is properly tucked into pants for added stability. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
T-shirt feels too warm despite breathable fabric.
While designed for ventilation, extreme heat may still cause discomfort. Ensure the T-shirt is worn as a base layer directly against the skin for maximum breathability. Consider wearing it with other moisture-wicking layers.
Pockets are difficult to access while riding.
Practice reaching for the rear pockets during non-riding situations to familiarize yourself with their location and how to access them smoothly. Ensure the T-shirt is not overly tight, which could restrict access.
Fabric pilling or snagging.
Avoid washing with abrasive materials like denim or items with Velcro. Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully (cold water, gentle cycle, air dry).
