DAKINE TRAIL GEAR

Recently we had the pleasure of rocking some of Dakine’s latest trail gear. Dakine have been a major player in the snow and water sports arena for some time now and are perhaps best known for this here in Oz. Welcome to 2018 and welcome to the arrival of Dakine’s 2018 bike gear. This range has all your bases covered with a range that’s proven and tested across all stages of the EWS, Downhill World Cups and Bike Parks around the globe under riders like Thomas Vanderham, Yoann Barrlli and Casey Brown, just to name a few. During the Cannonball Festival in Thredbo we spent many hours doing runs, getting to intimately know some of this new 2018 Dakine gear. Over the course of the week we fell in love with the Thrillium Jersey, Pace Shorts and oh so simple Traverse Gloves. One of the first things you notice with both the Thrillium Jersey and Pace Shorts are their simple clean look that’s not crazy over-the-top with big logos and loud patterns. Part of this lends to Dakine’s defined ‘casual culture’ across all sports bringing with it a look that doesn’t scream “I AM A RAD MOUNTAIN BIKER THAT’S COME TO THE SHOPS TO GRAB A CHOCOLATE MILK ON MY WAY HOME!” Just ditch your riding shoes, put on a pair of thongs and hit the pub to unwind with a burger,
