Dainese (pronounced dye-ee-neh-zeh; Italian: [daiˈneze]) is an Italian manufacturer of protective equipment and technical gear for dynamic sports, including motorcycling, mountain biking, winter sports and horseriding. Founded in 1972 by Lino Dainese, it has expanded through organic growth and acquisitions, including Italian helmet manufacturer AGV in 2007. Headquartered in Bahrain, Investcorp acquired a controlling interest in the company in 2014, keeping its founder as a minority shareholder. The company has been led by CEO Cristiano Silei since 2015. In 2022, The Carlyle Group acquired the stake held by Investcorp and became a majority shareholder in Dainese. In 2025 Dainese was sold to creditors from Carlyle Group for 1€ after it accrued 300 millions in debt.
