Spring is here and the change in the weather signals a greater choice of protective rider equipment. With warmer temperatures comes a desire for lightweight motorcycle clothing but this doesn’t have to mean a compromise on safety. A combination of top quality protection and superior rider comfort is now attainable in the form of the new BMW Boulder jacket and City trousers.
Taken from the 2006 Rider Equipment collection, this fashionable two-piece textile suit has been designed with style and safety in mind, and is waterproof, windproof and washable. A combination of Cordura and denim materials also ensures that the suit looks as good off the bike as on it. The jacket and trousers can be fastened together or unfastened via a quick and easy interconnecting zipper, ensuring that the suit transfers seamlessly from motorcycle use to street wear. This makes it a perfect choice for city commuters and leisure-lovers.
New BMW-developed NP protectors (soft and flexible, but offering the best absorption figures on the market) ensure that the knees, back, elbows and shoulders are fully covered, as the protectors ‘mould’ themselves to vulnerable parts of the body. All are height adjustable and offer maximum energy absorbing facilities.
Velcro fastenings and zippers around the shin area of the trousers enable adjustment to the correct width of the rider’s legs. Adjustable cuff, sleeve and waist widths also add to the functionality of the suit, which is designed to be comfortable in temperatures more likely to be encountered on a southern European tour than in the UK.
In keeping with the unpredictable British weather however, the multi-functional Boulder jacket can be adjusted to suit the climate. For those rare warm summer days, the breathable jacket features ventilation zippers in the front and back, and removable sleeves transform it into a waistcoat to wear off the motorcycle. For cooler days, the removable Venturi insert provides protection from wind and rain.
Function and protection do not have to mean a compromise on practicality with Boulder jacket and City trousers featuring numerous easy-to-access pockets. With four pockets incorporated into the design of the trousers and five into the jacket (including an inside waterproof compartment) there is plenty of space for stowing those essential items.
Available in sizes S-XXXL for men and women, the stylish dark grey Boulder jacket and anthracite City trousers are the perfect solution for riders seeking a suit that looks great and works on and off the motorcycle. Versatile, practical, fashionable and safe are the keywords for this high-quality clothing.
The Boulder jacket is priced at £245 and the City trousers are £120. Both items are now available from BMW Motorrad dealerships nationwide. Customers can call BMW’s information line on 0800 777 155 or visit the link below.
