    BMW gear

    Anyone have any experience with BMW gear as opposed to say Spidi, REVIT, or dririder? For the textile stuff.

    Cheers

    Smile BMW Gortex

    Yes I have a very good BMW Gortex Jacket, damn expensive but has not failed in 3yrs. Light weight & stylish too.
    New Summer Rain gloves on order, here approx 1st May (before Cold Duck I hope). Need light gloves but must be water proof.

    Mrs Temp and I went down to the BMW store in Newmarket today to look at getting us some of their kit. I went specifically to look at their Bluetooth helmets, which they don't sell anymore, but have come away really really impressed with their gear. Enough so that I think I will get some gloves, a jacket and a ProRace helmet. Mrs Temp liked the helmet as well so will probably get one, just a shame they only have colored racey ones and no plain color models in that range.

    The helmet pricing was a lot less than I was led to believe (nothing over 1k), and although their jacket was very expensive it felt so much more comfortable than the Spidi Gran Turismo I looked at last week.

    Have BMW Kalahari jacket - been good for past 9 years. Expensive but good value for money if you are after touring gear.
