Dainese unveils 2025 touring and adventure riding gear collection
Dainese’s 2025 Touring and Adventure range brings Italian style, all-season protection, and long-haul comfort to riders who refuse to let the weather call the shots.
Dainese has pulled the wraps off its new 2025 Touring and Adventure (ADV) collection, a range of gear built for riders who aren’t about to let the weather dictate when or where they ride. The new kit focuses on adaptability, protection, and long-distance comfort, all while carrying Dainese’s trademark mix of Italian design and technical precision.
Adventure riding is rarely about perfect conditions. One minute you’re slicing through alpine passes in bright sunshine, the next you’re getting drenched on a mountain trail or coated in dust somewhere off the map. Dainese’s latest ADV range promises to handle all of that, with each piece built to offer genuine comfort, all-weather capability, and safety that doesn’t compromise style.
GULLFOSS D-DRY JACKET & PANTS (Men’s and Women’s)
The Gullfoss D-Dry system sits at the heart of Dainese’s all-weather approach, using the brand’s proprietary waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane. It’s the sort of kit designed for riders who plan the route, not the weather.
Key features as per Dainese:
- D-Dry waterproof and breathable membrane
- Removable thermal liner for seasonal adaptability
- CE-certified armour at the shoulders, elbows, and knees
- Adjustable ventilation system for airflow control
- Multiple cargo pockets for all the touring essentials
- Reflective inserts to boost visibility on the road
- Pre-shaped, ergonomic construction designed for comfort in the riding position
- Available in both men’s and women’s fits
The Gullfoss setup looks to hit the sweet spot for riders chasing versatility without going full expedition-spec, offering a clean, functional design that’s ready for year-round miles.
CARVEMASTER JACKET & PANTS (Men’s and Women’s)
If the Gullfoss is the go-anywhere, do-anything option, the CarveMaster aims to be the most adaptable. It’s built for those who mix their miles, equally at home touring long distances on tarmac or exploring fire roads off it.
Key features as per Dainese:
- Multi-layer outer shell for weather resistance
- Removable insulation layer for changing conditions
- CE-certified impact protection throughout
- Strategically placed ventilation zones
- Reinforced material in high-wear areas
- Adjustable fit systems for comfort and flexibility
- Optimised pocket placement for easy access on the move
- Gender-specific tailoring for better ergonomics
The CarveMaster continues Dainese’s trend of building technical touring gear that doesn’t look like it’s been designed for a moon mission, keeping things functional but still wearable all day long.
MANGEN ABSØLUTESHELL PRO JACKET & PANTS (Men’s and Women’s)
The flagship of the 2025 ADV range, the Mangen ABSØLUTESHELL PRO, is the serious bit of kit for riders who go looking for trouble — or at least unpredictable weather. Designed for high-mileage adventure touring, it brings together laminated construction, premium materials, and a level of protection that borders on overkill (in a good way).
Key features as per Dainese:
- ABSØLUTESHELL technology for maximum waterproofing and breathability
- Advanced laminated construction for durability
- Premium CE-certified armour system
- Reinforced abrasion zones in critical areas
- Integrated thermal management system for extreme climates
- Professional-grade adjustment systems for a tailored fit
- Extended touring features and storage options
- Purpose-built for demanding ADV riding
This is Dainese’s top-tier adventure gear, the one aimed squarely at riders who measure trips in weeks and countries rather than miles.
AGV AX9 HELMET — STEPPA CARBON/RED/BLUE
Rounding out the 2025 Touring and ADV range is the AGV AX9 helmet in a bold new STEPPA Carbon/Red/Blue colourway. The AX9 is already a favourite among adventure riders for its versatility, comfort, and road/off-road crossover design.
Key features as per Dainese:
- Lightweight carbon fibre shell construction
- Dual-sport layout with a removable peak visor
- Advanced ventilation system with multiple intake and exhaust vents
- Wide field of vision optimised for adventure riding
- Emergency release system for quick removal
- ECE 22.06 safety certification
- Compatible with most comms systems
- Anti-scratch and anti-fog visor ready
- Removable, washable interior
Designed to match the new ADV apparel, the AX9’s latest look ties the whole range together. It’s a helmet that’s just as happy battling the motorway miles as it is bouncing down gravel tracks.
With the 2025 Touring and ADV collection, Dainese isn’t reinventing the adventure wheel — it’s refining it. Each piece looks purpose-built for riders who spend more time chasing horizons than waiting for dry weather, proving once again that Dainese knows exactly what it takes to make gear that works wherever the road, or lack of it, leads.
