What does Danny Davis ride?
The shift from contest kid to backcountry explorer brought a natural shift in his gear. The oversized, often accessorized kits of his park rat days have given way to fully-featured 3L GORE-TEX®, prioritizing utility features like venting, pocket access, and all the cinches to seal out the elements.
Of course, Danny’s never been one to let technical function come at the expense of overall vibe. Watch a clip of him climbing up a skintrack, airing out of a pipe, or carving down a snow-covered wave and it’ll be the first thing you see. Whatever Danny’s up to, he makes it look good.
