CREATED FOR CHAMPIONS
Developed in collaboration with FIS, D-air® Ski 2 protects Downhill and Super-G athletes; conceived to tackle the world’s most challenging slopes and most thrilling competitions, this is a revolutionary system in terms of ski protection.
It’s an intelligent device that can activate itself according to a sophisticated algorithm and featuring an engineered protective airbag – it’s light and imperceptible until you really need it. It offers athletes the maximum freedom and protection, even on the most extreme slopes.
DESIGNED FOR COMPETITION
DETECTION AND ACTIVATION:
Dainese D-air® has an intelligent algorithm that allows it to recognize the dynamics of a fall and activate according to different dangerous situations.
HIGHSIDE:
Skiers are thrown up into the air.
LOWSIDE with rolling:
Skiers slide and fall, and then roll.
THE AIRBAG IS WHAT MAKES D-AIR® SKI 2 UNIQUE
It monitors the air to create a shield that effectively envelops the skier’s body in the event of a fall. When exposed to the extreme pressure generated by the spreading air, other airbags deform, compromising protection in certain areas. Dainese D-air®’s patented microfilament technology ensures that the air inflating the airbag spreads evenly.

THE HEART
The heart of the Dainese D-air® system is the Shield, a revolutionary airbag created using a patented microfilament technology. Such innovation allows to control precisely the airflow inside it, guaranteeing unprecedented protection.
The microfilamentsjoin the airbag’s inner sides and, in the event of activation, keep them at a constant distance of 5 cm over the whole coverage area.
This stops air from moving, ensuring uniform protection at every point.
This gives the airbag an engineered 3D shape, whereby the Shield expands into an enveloping structure, offering optimal coverage that absorbs up to seven times more energy than traditional hardshell protective gear.
The result is lightweight, effective and uniform protection – the power of air at the service of protection.
THE BRAIN
At the center of the D-air® system we find its electronic control unit, a veritable intelligent brain powered by cutting-edge software and a sophisticated algorithm, developed over more than 20 years of experience in the most extreme contexts – it recognizes the dynamics of a fall and activates the Shield, the airbag with patented microfilament technology that protects athletes.
Ultra-fast analysis
The system detects and analyzes incoming data from sensors 1,000 times per second.
Integrated technologies
Accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS work together in synergy to monitor every movement and autonomously identify dangerous situations.
Intelligent activation
When needed, the algorithm immediately activates the Shield, guaranteeing optimal and uniform protection over the entire chest area.
THE EVOLUTION OF INTELLIGENT PROTECTION
D-air® Ski Shield 3X is the latest version of the D-air® airbag integrated into the Dainese airbag system for skiing. The system is certified to support three airbag activations, with no need for replacement.
Dainese D-air® FRS (Fast Replacement System) technology means that users can replace the gas generator of the Dainese D-air® system on their own, without the need for official assistance, allowing for a quick return to the slope.
