Press Release: Dakine

Dakine has a deep rooted history in mountain biking going back more than 20 years. Throughout this time many things have changed, but one rider has remained a constant part of the Dakine Ohana. This season we celebrate the legendary Thomas Vanderham with the release of his Signature Series collection. With multiple pieces designed to handle every type of condition Thomas encounters while riding on his home trails of Vancouver’s North Shore, this Signature Series is not only a tribute to Thomas, but his favorite riding spots as well.

The Darkside Long Sleeve Jersey comes with a windproof panel on the chest and arms to protect against the chill during high speed descents.

“The Signature Series is a combination of old favourites and new pieces. The Vectra short for example has been my go-to for awhile and I thought a pant version would be an awesome addition as a lightweight, pedal friendly piece. Similarly, a hybrid material jersey is nice to bridge the gap on those days you might be debating between a jacket and a long sleeve jersey. I think it is about building some new pieces off of the products I’ve loved for awhile.” -Thomas Vanderham
