Product news: Product News: Dainese AWA Black Urban Collection

April 5, 2019 by Florian Nowak

Product news: With the Dainese AWA Black collection, a new urban line for 2019 is presented. This not only brings first-class technical and functional performance, but also cuts a fine figure in everyday urban life.

The latest bike collection from Dainese is the AWA Black, which was developed for the urban commuter sector. The special line is an evolution of the technological platform AWA "All Weather Activity" launched in 2017 by the Vicenza brand.

The new Dainese AWA Black collection should not only ensure pleasant commuting activities in all weathers, but also contribute to the lifestyle, suitable for any use, not just on the bike. The AWA Black layering system relies on innovative materials from the racing world, which ensure outstanding performance in terms of impermeability, weather protection and comfort. Each garment features high-visibility details, such as reflective panels on the all-new poncho and 3L jacket.



"We have designed a clothing collection that ensures maximum comfort when cycling, but still has an essential design language. The performance of the garment comes from cuts and materials without becoming too obvious. A collection with a functional design, where functionality is translated into aesthetics. It is intended for all those who use the bicycle as an environmentally friendly means of transport". – Art Director Renato Montagner

The Dainese AWA Black collection offers commuters the best functionality, visibility and safety with a casual look in everyday urban life and traffic.
