RECCO, the advanced rescue technology manufacturer, has partnered with Dakine as the brand launches its new outerwear collection. RECCO rescue reflectors will be integrated into key Dakine outerwear products, like winter jackets and snow pants.
The inclusion of RECCO technology into the brand’s line is a natural development fueled by the global expansion of the RECCO rescue network, particularly the deployment of the RECCO SAR Helicopter Rescue System.
“Dakine is all about accessibility. We make hardcore products to ride all parts of the mountain,” said Christian Regester, design director, Dakine Apparel. “As product creators there is a responsibility that comes with encouraging people to search out that next pow stash or send that big drop. In addition to the long-lasting materials and construction, extra attention to comfort, and staying at the forefront of sustainable design practices, we find RECCO to be a requirement of intelligent design. Any outerwear that gets used around the resort and even many backcountry areas can use this simple technology to save lives. So, why wouldn’t we integrate RECCO into our products?”
With the addition of Dakine to the RECCO family, RECCO’s portfolio of partner brands now exceeds 150, including companies like Patagonia, Helly Hansen and Jack Wolfskin. All these brands are committed to the safety of their consumers as well as integrating cutting-edge technologies into their products.
