GO THE DISTANCE WITH BMW MOTORRAD’S ALL-SEASON TOURSHELL SUIT.

23/07/2012

The new BMW TourShell is the protective suit of choice for motorcycle riders – whatever the weather, season or destination.  

With two separate versions, designed to offer the perfect fit for both men and women, the stylish TourShell is made from a highly elastic three-layer laminate which makes it light, flexible and protective. The C.A.R.E. climate membrane incorporated in this great-looking sporty suit, makes it breathable in hot conditions, as well as wind and waterproof when the weather turns. It also has fully adjustable Velcro straps on the collar and ankles to ensure the weather-proof technology is supported by a perfect fit.  

In warm weather, the integrated thermal jacket can be buttoned out and stowed compactly inside its own inner pocket. This lightly padded standalone quilted jacket, which comes in two colour options for both men and women, also looks great when worn separately.  

The TourShell suit really comes into its own when it comes to safety: a material mix of polyamide, polyester and elastane is used for maximum flexibility and resistance to abrasion. The TourShell suit utilises three-layer laminate, usually reserved for premium cost garments, which is reinforced with highly abrasion-resistant Cordura at the most vulnerable points (knees, hips, elbows, shoulders). The front and back of the jacket have ventilating zips to further add all-year-round practicality.  

The NP protectors on the back, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees were developed by BMW Motorrad and feature maximum impact absorption (EN-1612-certified). These can be positioned at three different heights to suit riders of all sizes, or can even be removed.  

The TourShell jacket is available in Black and Mineral Grey for men, while the quilted liner is available in Mineral Grey and Deep Sea. The women’s version is available in Black and Deep Sea, while the quilted liner is available in Plum and Black.

Trousers for both men and women are in Black.
