Warm D-Light
A life below zero. Leather as the only protection.
In the wake of the success obtained with its Jet Stream Tourer and Neck GORE-TEX® Motorbike Collection products, Dainese has extended the Beta Testing concept also to the winter sports world thanks to the introduction of the Bergen and Oslo jackets with the Warm D-Light Project.
Original thanks to their distinctive technological inspiration, these jackets are revolutionary in the way they present themselves to the public and innovative for their composite materials.
Essential to the D-Light Project is the process of laminating cowhide to the best waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® membrane. Leather GORE-TEX® Pro Shell is an exclusive Dainese patent born from collaboration with Gore. Perforated leather provided with waterproof treatment is laminated to GORE-TEX® Pro Shell membrane that guarantees the maximum performance in terms of waterproof seal and breathability. The productive process is carried out entirely in Italy and consists in bonding leather and GORE-TEX® membrane through hot lamination onto jackets already partially constructed. This technique requires less stitching and therefore reduces the amount of heat-taping necessary while ensuring the garment with the best waterproof seal possible.
The same procedure has also been transferred to other selected technical items in the Motorbike Collection.






Beta testers in Europe and the United States filled out this on-line questionnaire regarding the Bergen and Oslo jackets from October 2007 to March 2008 and helped us develop the Warm D-Light concept.
