Dakine Biking Clothes - REVIEW
The thing that struck me most about all of these Dakine products (including the 2 biking packs in my separate review) is the Quality / Price factor. The level of craftsmanship, design and functionality you get for the price is incredible. Aside from my own personal preferences on fit and color, I found it difficult to think of ways these products could be improved. Everything is thoughtfully designed, and entirely bike specific. Although a very specialized item of clothing means you can't use it as easily across all of your sports, it does mean that you are going to feel incredible using it for the one it was intended. Everything I tested used really nice technical materials, and while there were some extra little special details (like the graphics on the jacket), I didn't feel like there were unnecessary bells and whistles on anything. The Shield Jacket has just the right number of useful pockets, and the Xena shirt even removes part of it's own surface area with the mesh because it's not needed. It is clear that Dakine has been around long enough to know exactly what they are doing when it comes to the boardsports and biking industries.
