The D-Air Misano 1000
Thanks to companies like Dainese or Alpinestars, rider safety has reached new levels in the last decade – the first safety clothing with built-in airbags were introduced in 2007 for the racetrack, followed by road-legal products in 2011. Now, Dainese celebrates another milestone with the D-Air Misano 1000 jacket.
The jacket was revealed during an exclusive party held at the Riviera Golf Resort in San Giovanni in Marignano dedicated to all Moto GP professionals and the International press. The product is the first stand-alone Dainese air-bag jacket for road use.

The most important feature of the Misano 1000 is that it operates without need of sensor kit fitted to the motorcycle. The sensors, electronics and the GPS, in this configuration, are housed in the back protector.
The patented construction of the air-bag is unique and differs from all other air-bags used in the automotive industry – it has an inner micro-filament structure which provides uniform inflation of 5cm over all surfaces. The triggering algorithm, the true brain of the system, utilizes six sensors hosted in the back-protector to monitor the dynamics of the rider’s body 800 times a second and determines when to deploy the system in the event of impacts, high-sides and low-slides with tumbling.
The jacket will be available from November
The Misano 1000 air-bag system works in synergy with the back and chest-protectors, safeguarding the riders collar bone, chest and back as well as limiting excessive strain to the neck.
The integration of the ON/OFF switch in the jacket closing flap provides an additional safety factor. An LED on the right arm shows the status of the system. The jacket which will be available, in two colour schemes, from November at the price of €1499.
