Glossy finished kangaroo leather (thickness mm 0.9 +/- 0.1), it stands out for excellent tear and abrasion resistance. Among the materials currently in use for racing suits, kangaroo leather stands out for the best mechanical resistance to lightness ratio.

The leather is 0.9 mm (1/32”) thick, making it 25% thinner than cowhide for motorcycle sport use. The same is obviously true for its weight:

One square meter of kangaroo leather weighs just 600 grams (1.32 lbs) and resists to abrasion for 5 seconds 

 Top-quality full-grain cowhide

• Better mechanical performance with respect to traditional cowhide (+60% tensile strength and +80% tear resistance)

• Treated with resins and silicon wax

• Thickness mm 1.2 +/- 0.1

Good quality cowhide

• Good mechanical performance

• Water-proof treatment

• Soft finish

• Thickness mm 1.2 +/- 0.1

• Barrel-dyed cowhide with soft retanning

Soft cowhide of East Indian Water Buffalo for urban garments

• Thickness 0.9 +/- 0.1 mm

Buffalo leather is used in motorcycle apparel thanks to its durability, flexibility and appearance.

Thickness 0,9 +/- 0,1 mm.

The leather is barrel-dyed and then slightly sprayed.

This maintains the natural characteristics of the leather and gives the garment a worn appearance in a short time, thanks to the slight contrast between the black barrel and the sprayed one.

• Stretch technical fabric made of high-tenacity 6.6 Nylon in the warp and stretch 6.6 Nylon in the weft

• Nanotechnology-based finish is used to obtain non-iron, water and oil-repellent fabric

• Excellent tenacity, high abrasion, wrinkle and heat resistance, high resilience, minimal moisture regain and good resistance to chemical and physical agents. Due to all of these features, polyester is used either pure or combined with other natural, man-made or synthetic fibers.

• More specifically, the polyester used in Ducati summer clothing items has an abrasion resistance of 450 cycles. Weight makes garments less prone to ballooning up at high speeds. A double polyurethane coating on the inside provides wind resistance, breathability and good water repellent properties.

100% polyester twill fabric, 280 g/m2, abrasion resistant (1450 Martindale cycles, UNI EN ISO 388/2004), waterproofed.

Twill is a type of fabric with a textile weave characterized by an aesthetically pleasing diagonal pattern. This weave grants the fabric softness and good deformability, features that make garments produced with it both comfortable and resistant.

Softshell fabric is a combination of 3 different layers overlapped on one another (polyester outer face, membrane in the middle and micro-fleece inner face). The three layers are pressed together in a laminating machine.

Heat and pressure are applied to the top and bottom layers to bond them together with the breathable membrane in-between.

Each of the three layers fulfills a specific function:

• the tight and elastic weaving of the outer layer provides wind-cutting and water repellent properties.

• the middle layer membrane determines the garment performance: depending on the needs, some products are wind proof and breathable, others waterproof and breathable

• the micro-fleece inner layer keeps the body warm and lends the fabric a soft and pleasant touch.

• Textile fibre of vegetable origin

• Characterised by good skin friendliness

• Disperses heat quite easily

• Highly hygienic

• Mixed fabric

• Due to their higher tension, the bottom warp threads push the weft threads down forming a depression, while the loose threads remain on the surface and create a relief. This creates a quilted effect, enhanced by the softer padding of the weft yarn, also called honeycomb structure.

• Weft knit fabric

• Slightly elastic structure

• Shaved or honeycomb surface that can be made with any type of fibre

• Interlock knit cotton fabric

• This fabric is a variant of jersey, but it is easier to cut

• Compact weave double-knit fabric

• Polyester is a synthetic fibre which is mixed with polyamide, cotton, etc., in order to make fabrics more restraining and resistant

• The presence of polyester ensures an excellent hold and that the garment will maintain its shape even after numerous washes

• The high percentage of cotton preserves the body thanks to its contact with natural fibre

• Synthetic fibre

• Shiny fabric

• Rough if not properly worked

• Good elasticity and does not wrinkle

• Resistant to mould and bacteria

• Water repellent and does not absorb stains and humidity

• Good breathability if properly worked

Elastane fibre grants a series of benefits to the garment, which increase according to the percentage of elastane used:

• soft and flexible

• lightweight

• abrasion-resistant

• Soft and warm fabric

• Even, slightly fuzzy surface

• Particularly warm and yet light, because the fibres raised through brushing retain the air which acts as thermal insulation

• Technical material, namely a system of innovative and versatile fibres with excellent tear resistance, abrasion resistance and tensile strength

• Made of soft and light fibres characterised by important anti-allergenic properties.

• Excellent moisture wicking properties

• Fleece is a synthetic fabric derived from polyester.

• It is knit using a special technique that makes it bulky and soft. It features many advantages: it is very warm, machine washable, non-shrink, crease-resistant. It is not wind-proof or waterproof.

• Its name stems from the merging of the initials of New York (Ny) and London (Lon)

• It can be produced in very fine threads and has an elastic structure which allows it to adapt to the most varied shapes and the most complex and unpredictable movements of the human body

• It is used for all close-fit garments that must follow body movements and for outer coating of anoraks because of its high insulation properties

• It looks like a porous rubber

• Lightweight

• Elasticity, resistance to cut and crushing

• Wear and heat resistance

• Inert to chemical agents

• Fibre obtained from Merino sheep

• This type of wool is particularly prized for its fineness, due to the fact that the hair of a merino sheep is thinner than the hair of a common sheep

• Because a merino wool garment is lighter than an ordinary wool garment, it can be worn in warmer seasons too

• Great water absorption capacity

• Made with two warps and a weft. The first warp forms the basis of the fabric, the second warp forms the effect which is better known as loop. The shearing consists in cutting the upper part of the loop, thus lending the terry cloth a velvet-like texture

Thanks to this special three-dimensional lining, an air chamber forms between the outside and inside of the garment, in order to provide an ideal microclimate.

• Innovative bacteriostatic polyester lining developed using nanotechnology

• Silver ion nanoparticles added to the yarn during the extrusion process: this process is unlike any ordinary finishing process, since the ions become embedded in the fibre and are evenly distributed inside the yarn

• Inner liner made of high-tenacity polyamide yarns and woven fibres that provide excellent mechanic performance

• Elastomer coated with Polyamide in warp and weft

• Bi-axial elastic properties: the fabric is elasticized in width and length

• Water- and oil-repellent treatment

• 715 g/m2

• Mesh fabric used for breathable garments ideal for hot and humid climate

H2OUT® is a special micro-porous waterproof, windproof, breathable membrane, that Spidi created after long term studies and tests in cooperation with big Japanese textile group Toray and OutDry. 

The membrane is specific for motorcycling, when water and wind soak through the fabric, and body temperature tends to drop if the right protection is missing. Tested and constantly updated with the use of Tecnorama artificial weather simulator for more than 20 years.

The hydrophilic membrane applied to D-Dry® fabric, developed by Dainese D-Tec®, has a particular structure that ensures total waterproof combined with an high breathability, thanks to the come out of water vapour produced by the body

Windout is a wind-proof, breathable membrane designed to protect against the wind-chill effect (i.e. the heat loss perceived by the human body when exposed to the combined effects of low temperatures and wind. 

As a matter of fact, the cooling effect of the wind makes the human body feel colder than the actual air temperature).

Made from 120 g/sq m polyamide fabric with water repellent treatment on the outside and breathable, windstopper inner coating.

Designed to allow for elbows to slide safely on road pavement.

RSS is made up of:
