Interbike 2008 - Dakine's new Clothing line
by Tyler Maine
Oct 3, 2008
Dakine is best known in the mountain bike world for their packs and gloves, but for 2009 they have launched a full line up of clothes for us riders. They have had jerseys in the mix for a few seasons, but now the shorts are following suit and creating some really nice kits. We were able to wrangle up Dakine team riders Geoff Gulevich and Emily Johnston for a fashion photo shoot at the indoor show.

Men's Shorts:
There are three new designs for shorts and they all cater to a certain sector of our riding groups and they are all named after trails and riding areas around Hood River. The 8 Track and the Syncline both feature moisture wicking polyester mesh liner, back stretch panel, inner leg vents and a gusseted crotch for increased range of motion. The Chorus is a six pocket cargo short. Each short also features double stitched seams and triple stitched critical seams for added durability.
Syncline $85 MSRP
Chorus $75 MSRP
Jerseys for the season are available in short-sleeve, ¾ sleeve, and sleeveless versions with subtle all-over prints. Featuring moisture wicking bird eye polyester, AEGIS Microbe Shield anti-bacterial fabric treatment and an eyewear chamois sewn into the interior side seam, all jerseys are designed with performance and comfort in mind.

Anyone else think they look a bit too much like sombrio's clothing from previous years? Not that impressed
Exactly... Sombrio still has the full 07 line on their website for sale at full list price! Dakine is a sick brand!

Super nice chick. Very Super!!! The designs.....Ahhh, how you spell SOMBRIO ! The Girl's stuff is solid, the guys stuff is tight jean and homo-erectus, white leather slipper style.
Yes, thats it... lets all go back to the eighties, bring out some super cool-mo-dee designes with retro colours and presto... we have fashion right. Umm maybe not. However if we pin these "tight jean" styled jerseys to a superstar it will sell... right???
Same idea as the ADIDAS shades (crap) on Steve Rominuk and Reebok Crap on Sydney Crosby... It's a sad, sad day...

looks way too eightish. terrible. your right the ladies are the nicest of the bunch. but i don't swing that way so it's a big negative.
"Jersey MSRP will range from $40-$45."
If that gonna be the price I'll get some
Awesome, plus who cares if they look like sombrio (except sombrio itself
) I always liked both companies. I think I'll have new dakine outfit for 2009 season

so um Emily is sexy. Better see some reviews on mtbr before I get any. gotta make sure that Dakine worked all the kinks out of new stuff, just like I do for anyone.
I may just have to get some Syncline and Chorus shorts, as I ride both places/trails on an almost weekly basis. For the uninitiated, The "Hood River DJs" Steve Romaniuk mentioned in Drop In Season 5 Episode 5 are the left side jump line on the Chorus trail at Post Canyon. Likewise, the high-speed cliff side singletrack in the Oakley mini-movie "Have You Seen It?" is the Agony trail section of Syncline, 5 miles east of Post Canyon on the Washington side of the Columbia River.
Sweet to see Oregon freeride getting recognized on a global scale, even if it is just trail names for retro shorts...

nothing wrong with the 80's influence. then again i grew up in the 80's unlike most of the kids on this site! tight pants look a lot better than the big ass baggy look anyhow....on guys or girls. sombria should adjust their price the way dakine sells, but overall decent stuff at a pricepoint we can all afford..
