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 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.

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.
