Leading motorcycle brands put faith in leather
15/08/2019
In exclusive interviews, a spokesperson from the Italian company and one from its counterpart Alpinestars – the two leading companies in their field – explain why leather is so valuable on the racetrack and on the road.
“Processing methods are key, with the tanneries playing a fundamental role,” a Dainese spokesperson tells us.
Alpinestars’ leathers are developed in in-house labs, working closely with a network of tanneries.
“Leather has a combination of natural qualities, combined with tanning techniques, that make it perfect for the motorcycle apparel industry,” Alpinestars’ Simon Toyne says.
