Nalini DYNEEMA BIB SHORT

DYNEEMA BIB SHORT

Performance and security are the key words for this bib short. Each cyclist knows where the impact is happening if one crashes and with this bib that area is protected through Kinetech PROTEKT, a fabric which retains all the performance properties of Kinetech and the abrasion and tear resistance capacity of Dyneema fibers, a fiber that is 15 times stronger than steel. Another Kinetch smooth and silky touch fabric is used also in the rest of the bib, and at legs’ hem a special silicone-free thin band which grips like rubber and is again part of the Kinetech materials.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

• HIP panel in Kinetech PROTEKT with DYNEEMA fibers, abrasion and tear resistant
• Kinetech® fabric in the entire short: high strength-stretch with muscle support capacity
• Upper part with super light mesh with thermotaped edging
• Reflective logos on side
• Bottom leg hem - no silicone - gripping structure in clean cut
• MOA high density pre shaped foam pad

Nalini have exclusively taken World Tour race proven crash protection technology developed in conjunction with Team DSM Firmenich and created a pair of high-performance bib-shorts that will protect you in the event of the unexpected. With a new level of softness, lightness, comfort and strength, these bib-shorts utilise the brand new Kinetech PROTEKT® fabric which contains a weave of DYNEEMA® fibres in a strategic placement on the hips. Kinetech describe DYNEEMA® as a “Polyethylene fibre with an ultra-high molecular orientation, bringing unique properties. With an ultra-high tensile strength 15 times stronger than steel it combines strength with exception lightness” For a fabric so light and soft, it seems counter-intuitive that it is virtually impossible to cut or tear. The Kinetech PROTEKT® fabric also has superior aerodynamic qualities due to its weave, and by being placed on the hips combines high abrasion, cut and tear resistance with very low drag. Other benefits to Dyneema PROTEKT® are that it has high UV resistance, high chemical resistance and it is hydrophobic. Another Kinetech fabric with a smooth and silky touch is utilised in the rest of the bib and legs with hem special silicone-free thin band which grips like rubber and is again from the Kinetech stable of materials. Why not invest in a bib short that is fast and will protect you in the event of the unexpected.

• Dyneema® Protection Kit is an unique synthesis that keeps the highest-performance features such as premium aerodynamics, breathability, compression, lightweight adding exclusive custom protective fibers.
• Dyneema® is a Polyethylene fiber with ultra-high molecular orientation with unique properties: it has an ultra high tensile strength, it is 15 times stronger than steel, it is light, it has high abrasion resistance, cut resistance, tear resistance.
• Kinetech PROTEKT thanks to the structure and the Dyneema® cage prevents the fabric from the complete and instant rupture at impact and by reducing the risk of serious injuries the rider is also more focused on his performance.
