The climate of Ireland can be summed up as being moist and changeable with abundant rainfall. Riders are a hardy breed, it takes a certain type of crazy to have the mindset to keep pedaling all year round in the face of howling winds, driving rain, and crank deep puddles - but we all do it with a grimacing smile. This year we welcome a game changer, the Blackline Dirt Suit. Inspired by snow sports, the Blackline Dirt Suit offers protection from the harshest elements of a one-piece suit, but combines the versatility of a two-piece; jacket and pant combo.
The Dirt Suit is designed to protect riders in the most challenging riding conditions. Designed and developed by our in-house team, the Blackline Dirt Suit has been in creative development for 18 months and thoroughly tested through two winters against its competition to ensure it meets our high standards. Now there are now no excuses not to go ride, even in the filthiest conditions.
Constructed from tough and durable fabric, the Dirt suit is 10,000mm waterproof/breathable thanks to a high-performance 3-layer bonded fabric. The key feature is that the jacket and pant can be connected via a “dirt-skirt” to create a one-piece ultra-protective suit via a waterproof seal. The connection between the jacket and pant is via high-quality waterproof YKK Aquaguard zippers. Riders have the versatility of running the jacket and pants separate in fair weather or the full Dirt Suit when it’s torrential out there.
To regulate temperature, the Blackline Dirt Suit is 10k breathable and features underarm Pit-Zips to vent (again using a YKK Waterproof Zip). The Blackline Dirt suit Jacket hood is large enough to fit over a trail helmet with a chin guard with a soft back internal storm guard. Dual directional zips are also fitted to the pockets to make access easy, no matter how numb your fingers get.
To ensure a dialed fit, the Dirt Suit pants can be cinched by adjustable waist tabs with extra security coming via banded braces for a tailored fit. We know accidents happen especially when navigating wet roots and rocks, To keep you watertight the Blackline Dirt suit comes with a repair kit, just in case.
