• Extra-stretch GORE-TEX PRO – +25% declared breathability compared to the standard membrane
• Removable PrimaLoft® insulation – can also be worn as a stand-alone jacket, so two garments in one
• YKK® Aquaseal zippers – declared 100% waterproof, not just covered by a flap
• Storm collar with hidden hood – the hood can be worn under the helmet when it's really raining
• GORE-TEX Storm Cuff labyrinth construction – seals the gap between glove and sleeve where water always enters

• Expansion zippers on the hips – extra space while riding, where it's needed
• Removable safety belt from the back panel – keeps the jacket in place at highway speeds

Who is it perfect for?

The Nimbus 3 is for those who make no compromises and ride thousands of kilometers a year in all conditions. It's designed for the adventure traveler who sets off regardless of the forecast and wants a single jacket that covers everything from the cold of an alpine pass to the heat of the plains, by removing or reinserting the PrimaLoft insulation. The included Level 2 back protector and the Armacor shell place it in the highest protection category, and the details — forearm pocket, hood under helmet, expansion zippers on the hips — are those that you notice on the third day of a trip, not in the store. It's a significant jacket, also in terms of price: those looking for a garment for their daily commute will be paying for technology they won't use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between GORE-TEX PRO and regular GORE-TEX?
Dane uses GORE-TEX PRO in the extra-stretch version on the Nimbus 3, with larger pores that the manufacturer claims provide +25% breathability compared to the standard membrane. The shell is made of Armacor®, a GORE-TEX fabric reinforced with aramid fibers and Cordura, with SuperFabric inserts in abrasion areas.

Is the back protector included?
Yes, and this is an important difference from many jackets: the Nimbus 3 comes with the R.I.S.C. CE Level 2 back protector already fitted, in a highly ventilated version. The R.I.S.C. chest protector remains optional; the jacket is prepared for it, but it must be purchased separately.

What is PrimaLoft® lining and can it be removed?
PrimaLoft® is a synthetic insulation made of ultra-fine microfibers. On the Nimbus 3, it is removable and Dane describes it as usable on its own, as a stand-alone jacket. There is also a 3D mesh layer between the back and the back protector, to allow air circulation.

How does it perform in the rain?
The Armacor® shell with GORE-TEX PRO laminate is waterproof across its entire surface. The zippers are YKK® Aquaseal, declared 100% waterproof, the cuffs feature the labyrinth-constructed GORE-TEX Storm Cuff, and the detachable storm collar hides a hood to wear under the helmet.
