Dainese proudly announces Lindsey Vonn as part of the D-air® Ski team


Dainese proudly announces #lindseyvonn as a member of the #dainese D-air® Ski team. Lindsey has been key in testing and developing the D-air® system for ladies behind the scenes since season 2017/2018, and will be now wearing on the World Cup officially the D-air® airbag vest, a revolutionary intelligent protective system that activates when required, just before an impact.

"As a speed skier, safety is a major priority for me and Dainese's back protector and airbag system allow me to perform at my best, manage risk and really go for it" says #lindseyvonn in anticipation of her last season. Indeed, while competing in GS discipline, the #dainese Flexagon back protector is Lindsey’s choice.

Marco Pastore, Racing Director at #dainese contributes: “We are very proud Lindsey joined the #dainese team. She is a star that really needs no presentation. By choosing the #dainese protection and D-air® Ski in particular, Lindsey proves she is very conscious about safety. Safety has always been Dainese’s mission and we always try to set higher standards. We are sure that that Lindsey’s contribution will be priceless.”

In 2012, the first D-air® Ski prototype was released and it was the beginning of a new era for skiing safety. #dainese has been supporting Downhill and Super-G athletes with the D-air® Ski stem on the FIS World Cup circuit since 2014-15, by exponentially increasing the level of safety.

D-air® relies on two key assets: the airbag, which constitutes the heart of the system, and the algorithm, which represents the true intelligence. The 3D airbag is what makes D-air® unique: thanks to a patented internal Microfilaments Technology, the airbag inflates in a balanced way, creating an effective shield around the skier’s body. Instead, the brain of the D-air® Ski system lies in its deployment algorithm. The algorithm detects and analyses data from the sensors, being able to perceive an incipient fall and to trigger the inflation of the airbag.
