Dainese D-Air Misano 1000 – Dainese celebrates 1000 activations of the D-air by presenting the world premiere of the Misano 1000, the new jacket with a stand-alone electronic airbag system for road use.

"The future of protection is in the air and the data collected by Dainese over the last 15 years proves it.” we read in the presentation press release. “PMore than 1000 activations documented and analyzed by the development team on circuits and roads all over the world which confirm its effectiveness and reliability and, thanks to the amount of data acquired, contribute to the continuous refinement of the activation algorithms of the technological platform ." The new Dainese D-Air Misano 1000 leather jacket does not require any sensor kit to be installed on the vehicle, as the back protector contains the sensors, electronics and GPS. The 3D airbag bag allows uniform inflation of 5 cm over its entire surface, guaranteeing maximum protection and maximum comfort and this is possible thanks to its internal microfilament structure.

"With the Misano 1000 Dainese further expands its range of airbag products and reaffirms its total commitment to safety.”, commented Cristiano Silei, CEO of Dainese. "The 1000 activations of the D-air represent a first significant milestone for our technology and a milestone in the adoption of electronic airbag systems for motorcyclists. Air technology to make motorcycling increasingly safer, in all its forms. The future of security is up in the air." The algorithm, the true heart of the Dainese D-Air Misano 1000 system, monitors, through 6 sensors, the dynamics of the motorcyclist 800 times per second and decides to activate the system in the presence of impacts, slides and unseating. The airbag system, working in synergy with the back protector and chest protector, protects the rider's collarbones, chest and back and limits hyperflexion and hyperextension of the neck. The power switch integrated into the jacket closure constitutes an additional safety element. The Dainese D-Air Misano 1000 jacket is offered in two colors and will be available from November at a retail price of 1.499 euros.
