Cycling safety has always been and always will be an area in which to invest and improve. Nalini launches a technology on the market capable of protect the cyclist from abrasions without sacrificing the qualities of lightness, performance and comfort. Born from the collaboration with the DSM Team, il Dyneema kit is ready to change the textile industry's approach to safety. The Italian company has in fact presented the ergonomic jersey and Dyneema shorts

Unique technology

Dyneema is a polyethylene fiber with unique properties: it has very high tensile strength, it is 15 times stronger than steel, it is lightweight and has high resistance to abrasion, cuts and tears. Kinetech PROTEKT Thanks to the Dyneema structure, it prevents the fabric from completely and instantly breaking on impact and reduces the risk of serious injuries.

The Dyneema-Nalini kit was born from close collaboration within the group alongside the Dutch DSM team. The Mantua-based company's Research and Development department developed the kit consisting of an ergonomic jersey and shorts, specifically designed to meet the strong demand for greater protection on the bike. The construction of the two garments includes the insertion of the PROTEKT fabric in the areas most at risk of abrasion in the event of a fall, without sacrificing aerodynamic fit, breathability, compression and lightness.

The Jersey

The Dyneema jersey is a concentration of all the most advanced technical features available today for cycling. The addition of Kinetech PROTEKT, a fabric that protects where the cyclist knows that, in the event of a fall, he would almost certainly suffer abrasions, is an added value of indisputable value. PROTEKT is a fabric that combines all the properties together of compression, aerodynamics, comfort and much more of Kinetch with those of the Dyneema yarn, a material 15 times stronger than steelThis material, in addition to its unparalleled resistance to abrasion and cuts, has other important characteristics such as a very low coefficient of friction, UV protection, resistance to chemical agents and is hydrophobic.

The construction of the jersey maintains all the characteristics and properties necessary to have a constant comfort and high performanceStarting with the long reverse YKK cam-lock zip. The grippy silicone elastic at the bottom of the side and back keeps the garment stable. The sleeve bottom with laser cut The raw cut makes the shirt feel like a second skin. Of course, there are three functional back pockets with reflective details. price available on the website is 196 euros.

Shorts

Performance and safety These are the key words for these cycling pants. Cyclists know this well, as in the event of a fall, they would most likely suffer abrasions, but by wearing this pant, that specific area will be protected. Kinetech PROTEKT is a fabric that, as mentioned, combines all the properties together. The rest of the garment is also constructed with Kinetech fabrics and the result is a product that stands out for its levels of technicality and comfort.

The super elasticity and muscle support of the yarn make this top of the range shorts in every respect. The super-lightweight, seamless striped mesh back bodice with heat-bonded edges promotes comfort against the skin. bottom of the leg made of lightweight and grippy shuttle fabric with a laser-cut structure that makes it perfectly adherent. MOA caseback The high density and preformed shape allows you to stay in the saddle for several hours. Finally, the reflective logos on the sides increase safety on the road. price available on the website is 250 euros.
