Keproshield Highly protective material made of Kevlar, Dynatec and cotton, bonded together with the c_change bionic membrane as a three-layer laminate, and treated with coldblack reflective technology. Keprotec A blend of Kevlar and PA fibers which enhances Kevlar’s already excellent stretchability and abrasion resistance. Used to reinforce those areas most at risk in a fall, such as the elbows, shoulders, knees and thumbs. Keratan The unique Keratan treatment maximizes abrasion resistance, while at the same time increasing flexibility. This is achieved by finishing robust premium leather with an etched diamond structure and adding a synthetic coating. Laminate A layered structure of various materials created by thermal adhesion (the adhesive is usually applied in spots), and particularly suited for use with all-weather membranes. Can also take the form of a lining laminate or three-ply laminate, and does not always need to be thermally attached to the outer material. Leather Because all leathers are not equal, we only use the very best. We select the finest leathers from cows reared in the EU for our jackets, boots and gloves, with a minimum thickness of at least 1.2 mm for our suits, and often much more. As a result, they offer exceptional abrasion resistance. 04 10 24 36 2 BMW C.A.R.E SUITS JACKETS / PANTS BOOTS Motorcycle-specific fit This cut takes account of the body’s contours in the riding position. The tops of the sleeves are further forwards, the sleeves and legs are angled, and there are numerous other special design details. Nappa leather The upper surface of the hide. Smooth and slightly shiny, worked to a soft leather with a fine grain. Nickel-free accessories All BMW Motorrad buttons and zips are nickel-free to protect the skin. Nomex A heat-resistant material made of fire-retardant aramid fibers. Nubuck leather A highly breathable leather with a slightly roughened surface, resulting in a velvety feel. PCP/CP Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is banned under the German prohibited chemicals order of October 14 1993, though it may be used in concentrations of up to 5 mg/kg in leather processing. 3-Perform Abrasion-resistant, three-layer elasticated laminate that is windproof, waterproof and breathable thanks to the BMW climate membrane. PITTARDS An English tannery that produces specially treated Cabretta leather, called WR-100/WR 100X. The leather absorbs very little water and is resistant to sweat, making it especially suitable for use in gloves. It is particularly soft to the touch, and remains so over the long term. 44 52 68 Schoeller PCM Derived from space research, this material features special paraffin capsules that allow it to store heat when warm and release it when the temperature drops. This means it can minimize fluctuations in body temperature, keeping the rider comfortable. The material is at its most effective between temperatures of 40 and 75°F. Serafil Highly tear-resistant safety yarn used in all BMW Motorrad motorcycle suits. Safety, active and passive Active safety measures are designed to prevent accidents, for example by using reflective material for good visibility. Passive safety features aim to minimize the effects of an accident, for instance by employing impact-resistant protectors and outer materials. Stormcuff A sleeve inlay that forms a waterproof closure around the wrist. TFL Cool System Cool technology is used in dark leather and fabric garments. Thanks to a special manufacturing process, sunlight is reflected from the dark surface of the leather or fabric in the same way as from a light surface, making the outer material much less likely to overheat. Z-liner Here, the membrane is like a lining “suspended” between the outer material and the lining itself.

It starts with total peace of mind. Because when you know your safety is taken care of, you’re free to enjoy the buzz of anticipation whenever you suit up for the next journey. That’s why BMW Motorrad created the C.A.R.E. stamp of approval. C.A.R.E. stands for Concept of Advanced Rider Equipment, and represents the unwavering commitment to safety, innovation, comfort and quality that goes into designing every item of BMW Motorrad rider equipment. Each product is years in the making. Whether we’re talking about the new, hard-wearing materials developed by a dedicated R&D team, the sophisticated design elements that increase both protection and comfort, or the testing methods devised and employed in-house, the highest standards are applied from start to finish. This relentless pursuit of perfection allows BMW Motorrad to ensure that its products meet standards far more stringent than CE and EU norms. Only then will they receive the C.A.R.E. stamp of approval. We want you to enjoy riding your motorcycle – and that doesn’t just mean meeting standards. It means surpassing them, in everything we do.

And this doesn’t just apply to the bike itself – it means having the right protective clothing, too. When riders take to the tarmac, they’re completely exposed, and there’s a lot going on around them. They need to be prepared for anything that comes their way. That’s why safety is one of our four C.A.R.E. criteria, and central to the development of our rider equipment. Every last detail is subject to intense scrutiny to ensure comprehensive protection. Innovation has been at the heart of BMW Motorrad since it was established in 1923. We’ve also led the way in the development of rider equipment since the mid-seventies. We’ve invested years of research, development and testing to create solutions that meet a wide-ranging set of requirements for motorcycling clothing – with the aim of making the best even better. Our two ground-breaking membrane technologies are prime examples of this. The c_changeTM membrane breathes in summer to keep riders cool, while locking in warmth on colder days. The BMW climate membrane is also highly breathable, while offering a waterproof rating of 10,000 mm. We take great care in ensuring that our products are compatible with one another. Whether you go for a BMW Motorrad jacket and pants, or combine several other products, each item must function as part of a single protective unit that leaves no part of the body vulnerable. Combining unprecedented damping properties with maximum comfort, our NP and NP2 protectors are prime examples of why BMW Motorrad rider equipment is at the forefront of innovation. On all of our pants, jackets and suits, those areas most at risk in the event of an accident are reinforced, double stitched and fitted with state-of-the-art CE protectors. This ensures the garments can withstand all the usual stresses and strains of day-to-day riding, and even the hardest impacts on asphalt and gravel, without sacrificing freedom of movement. C.A.R.E. is more than just a seal of approval – it’s a promise to our customers that we’re constantly breaking new ground to deliver safer, higher-quality and more comfortable products. The materials and treatments, the manufacturing techniques, and every test at every stage all reflect the pursuit of one goal: to provide riders with the highest level of active and passive safety and the most enjoyable ride possible. After all, at BMW Motorrad, safety is about providing total peace of mind. QUALITY COMFORT At BMW Motorrad, we know that raising the bar means going to great lengths. That’s why we put our products through mile after mile of testing to identify and eliminate any potential weaknesses. Every item in the BMW Motorrad rider equipment product line is designed and built to endure the countless miles riders cover. Just like safety, comfort is a crucial factor in the development of rider equipment. Ultimately, it’s about providing maximum passive protection while ensuring riders are unaware of and not distracted by any of the garments they are wearing. Whatever the weather conditions, and however hot or cold it may be, anything less than total comfort might diminish their ability to react. That’s why BMW Motorrad riders equipment includes the latest ventilation and membrane technologies. There are no legal requirements for quality and durability, so we decided to create our own standard with its own set of criteria. And this is something we’re taking very seriously. In our dedicated laboratory, every item of BMW Motorrad rider equipment is tested down to the last detail to ensure incomparable quality – and this includes the development processes and the materials used to make them. Not only do our products look and feel great, but they’re also supremely functional. We strive to set new standards in everything we do. Whether it’s the collar, the sleeves or the cuffs – we’re meticulous about every part of every garment, no matter how big or small. 6 We shake, scrape and smash practically everything within our reach in our test facilities. As a result, you’re unlikely to find the same level of quality anywhere else. 7 COMFORT C.A.R.E. STANDARDS – HOW THEY MEASURE UP CATEGORY INDUSTRY STANDARD C.A.R.E. STANDARD Fit and ergonomics In general, only standardized sizes are available. (DIN EN ISO 340*) The sizes we offer are based entirely on the dimensions measured and supplied to us by our customers. SAFETY Height-adjustable protectors There is no legislation that requires knee protectors to be height adjustable. Our protectors are height-adjustable as standard, ensuring the perfect fit for each rider. CATEGORY INDUSTRY STANDARD C.A.R.E. STANDARD Impact absorption There is no legal requirement for specially fitted left and right-hand protectors. BMW Motorrad offers left and right-hand protectors that can be adapted to the rider’s specific shape. It offers excellent impact absorption performance and has won countless consumer awards. Tear resistance Materials must be able to withstand a minimum force of 100 N/cm2 (DIN EN ISO 13937-2:2000; tear resistance*) The materials we use must be able to resist a force of at least 1000 N/cm2. Abrasion resistance In standard industry testing, materials are exposed solely to an abrasive belt running at approx. 18 mph. (DIN EN ISO 13595; abrasion resistance*) The BMW testing institute simulates the impact, fall and slide of a 165 lbs rider on motorway tarmac, at speeds of up to 75 mph. 8 CATEGORY INDUSTRY STANDARD C.A.R.E. STANDARD Water resistance According to DIN standards, fabric with a water head of 1,300 mm is considered waterproof. (DIN EN 20811:1992; water resistance*) The BMW climate membrane offers a 10,000-mm head of water, while also being incredibly breathable. Practicality Legal requirements do not call for motorcycle clothing to be tested in use at all. BMW Motorrad test riders assess the functionality of every item we produce over numerous rides (including endurance testing) in a range of weather conditions. * correct as of October 2013 INNOVATION QUALITY As there are no legal requirements for quality, we are using the appropriate DIN EN ISO standards as a basis. BMW Motorrad requirements dictate that at least 5 of the 7 criteria should be met. CATEGORY INDUSTRY STANDARD C.A.R.E. STANDARD Resistance to fading No industry standard. Garments are spread out under xenon light to test their resistance to fading. (Taken from DIN EN ISO 105-B02:2002; resistance to fading*) Rub fastness No industry standard. Each material is placed alongside a wet or dry testing fabric, then rubbed together. The rub fastness is assessed based on the coloring of the test fabric. (Taken from DIN EN ISO 105-X12:2002; rub fastness*) Color fastness to perspiration No industry standard. Textiles are placed alongside a testing fabric soaked in sweat, and then rubbed together. (Taken from DIN EN ISO 105-E04:2013; fastness to perspiration*) Oil repellency No industry standard. Materials are tested for their resistance to oil, in the same way as the color fastness analysis. (Taken from DIN EN ISO 105-X12:2002; rub fastness*) Fastener abrasion resistance No industry standard. Textiles are subjected to the Martindale abrasion test, at a force of 9kPa over 4,000 cycles, to assess their resistance to wearing. (VDA 230-210:2008, taken from DIN EN 530:2013; fastener abrasion resistance*) Abrasion resistance No industry standard. Each material is rubbed against a standardized piece of test fabric over 30,000 cycles. (Taken from DIN EN ISO 12947-2:2007; wear resistance*) Washing fastness No industry standard. Textiles are sewn into a piece of test fabric, then placed in a beaker full of detergent solution and agitated. The test fabric is then dried, and the coloring assessed. (Taken from DIN EN ISO 105-C06:2010; textile washing fastness*) 9 SUITS Suits 》 Textile StreetGuard suit NEW NEW • Professional-grade touring suit for year-round use • Short or /-length long jacket with adjustable waist • -Perform material: abrasion-resistant, elasticated three-layer laminate • Double-thickness ProtectionGuard material in vulnerable areas • Removable NP protectors at shoulders, elbows, back, hips and knees (adjustable to three different heights) • Coccyx protector retrofittable • Waterproof, windproof and incredibly breathable, thanks to the BMW climate membrane • Removable storm collar with integrated storm hood • Removable thermal insert for pants and windproof thermal inner jacket with excellent insulation; can also be worn separately • Variably adjustable trouser waist • Zip-up bib and adjustable braces on men’s pants • Zip-up raised waistband with anti-slip effect on women’s pants • Ventilation zippers on jacket and pants • Waterproof jacket and pant pockets, and sophisticated pocket for multimedia devices • Reflective print on front, back and pant legs • Connector zip:  cm (all-around) • Comfort fit • Colors: short jacket in Anthracite or Anthracite/Red, long jacket in Black, pants in Black • Sizes (women):  – ,  – ,  –  (Anthracite/Red  –  only) • Sizes (men):  – ,  – ,  –  (Anthracite/Red  –  only) Whatever your ride has in store, the new StreetGuard will be ready.

It is extremely light, yet offers all the safety you’d expect from a motorcycling jacket, and is ideal for hot-weather riding. Breathability Technically defined as resistance to evaporating heat transfer (RET). The lower the RET, the more permeable the material is to air. Azo dyes These may not be used in colored outer materials since they can break down into carcinogenic amines. BMW climate membrane A functional membrane that meets BMW standards and is breathable, waterproof and windproof. Carbon Heat-resistant chemical fiber, lighter than glass fiber. Characterized by high strength and rigidity. c_change Also used with the bionic c_change climate membrane as a three-layer laminate. The intelligent c_change membrane adapts the size of its pores according to the exterior temperature, thus allowing the skin to breathe in hot weather, and locking in heat on colder days. CE test mark The CE (Communauté Européenne) mark indicates that the product complies with European Union safety directives. coldblack Treatment for dark material that reflects the sunlight and protects against UV rays, keeping suits cooler for longer. 2 74 Cordura 500 Nylon yarn consisting of 100% polyamide. The manufacturing process involves respinning and weaving the cut polyamide fibers. Has a melting point of 410°F. Expanding pleats The upper material is sewn onto the stretch fabric in a corrugated form. This allows the compound to stretch, making the tear-resistant outer material even safer. Design The characteristics of BMW design include the use of classic shapes and colors. Our guiding principle is “Form follows function”. DuPont Coolmax DuPont Coolmax consists of hollow fibers which transport humidity to the outside very quickly by capillary action, making the material dry 50% faster than cotton. Dynafil A highly tear-resistant polyamide yarn that is even more robust than Cordura 500 and resistant to high temperatures. Dynatec Fabric made of Dynafil. Tear resistant and extremely robust, with a melting point of 554°F. Glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP)/carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) The individual fibers (aramid, carbon, glass fiber) can be mixed in varying proportions as required. By changing the orientation and position of the fibers, different characteristics can be achieved – for example low weight, high strength, high rigidity, low heat expansion and good insulating properties. GORE-TEX® A membrane made of Teflon (PTFE/polytetrafluorethylene). Countless microscopic pores prevent the penetration of large water droplets while allowing the much smaller water vapor molecules to pass through. The branch-like structure of the membrane means that it is also windproof. GORE-TEX® X-TRAFIT GORE-TEX® X-TRAFIT is a three-layer structure used in motorcycle gloves. It ensures they stay waterproof, windproof and breathable. The layers are attached to each other with adhesive or are laminated, with the lining affixed to the membrane, and the membrane to the leather. The result is an excellent grip, while the gloves are easy to pull on and off at all times, even when wet. Hydrophobic treatment A treatment which renders leather water-resistant. BMW uses the vat immersion technique. During this process, only the leather fibers are coated, to ensure the pores stay open and the leather remains breathable. Depending on use, dry cleaning ensures the garment maintains its waterproof performance over several years. HyperKewl system The HyperKewl water management system absorbs and stores moisture, then gradually releases it via evaporation. This has a cooling effect that reduces heat by 10 to 20°F, compared to the ambient temperature. It means the body stays cooler, and is better able to perform in challenging conditions. Kangaroo leather Finer, more closely woven fibers and a tighter structure make this leather even more durable than cowhide. Keproshield Highly protective material made of Kevlar, Dynatec and cotton, bonded together with the c_change bionic membrane as a three-layer laminate, and treated with coldblack reflective technology. Keprotec A blend of Kevlar and PA fibers which enhances Kevlar’s already excellent stretchability and abrasion resistance. Used to reinforce those areas most at risk in a fall, such as the elbows, shoulders, knees and thumbs. Keratan The unique Keratan treatment maximizes abrasion resistance, while at the same time increasing flexibility. This is achieved by finishing robust premium leather with an etched diamond structure and adding a synthetic coating. Laminate A layered structure of various materials created by thermal adhesion (the adhesive is usually applied in spots), and particularly suited for use with all-weather membranes. Can also take the form of a lining laminate or three-ply laminate, and does not always need to be thermally attached to the outer material. Leather Because all leathers are not equal, we only use the very best. We select the finest leathers from cows reared in the EU for our jackets, boots and gloves, with a minimum thickness of at least 1.2 mm for our suits, and often much more. As a result, they offer exceptional abrasion resistance. Motorcycle-specific fit This cut takes account of the body’s contours in the riding position. The tops of the sleeves are further forwards, the sleeves and legs are angled, and there are numerous other special design details. Nappa leather The upper surface of the hide. Smooth and slightly shiny, worked to a soft leather with a fine grain. Nickel-free accessories All BMW Motorrad buttons and zips are nickel-free to protect the skin. Nomex A heat-resistant material made of fire-retardant aramid fibers. Nubuck leather A highly breathable leather with a slightly roughened surface, resulting in a velvety feel. PCP/CP Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is banned under the German prohibited chemicals order of October 14 1993, though it may be used in concentrations of up to 5 mg/kg in leather processing. 3-Perform Abrasion-resistant, three-layer elasticated laminate that is windproof, waterproof and breathable thanks to the BMW climate membrane. PITTARDS An English tannery that produces specially treated Cabretta leather, called WR-100/WR 100X. The leather absorbs very little water and is resistant to sweat, making it especially suitable for use in gloves. It is particularly soft to the touch, and remains so over the long term. Schoeller PCM Derived from space research, this material features special paraffin capsules that allow it to store heat when warm and release it when the temperature drops. This means it can minimize fluctuations in body temperature, keeping the rider comfortable. The material is at its most effective between temperatures of 40 and 75°F. Serafil Highly tear-resistant safety yarn used in all BMW Motorrad motorcycle suits. Safety, active and passive Active safety measures are designed to prevent accidents, for example by using reflective material for good visibility. Passive safety features aim to minimize the effects of an accident, for instance by employing impact-resistant protectors and outer materials. Stormcuff A sleeve inlay that forms a waterproof closure around the wrist. TFL Cool System Cool technology is used in dark leather and fabric garments. Thanks to a special manufacturing process, sunlight is reflected from the dark surface of the leather or fabric in the same way as from a light surface, making the outer material much less likely to overheat. Z-liner Here, the membrane is like a lining “suspended” between the outer material and the lining itself. Symbols 》 Kangaroo leather Finer, more closely woven fibers and a tighter structure make this leather even more durable than cowhide. Keproshield Highly protective material made of Kevlar, Dynatec and cotton, bonded together with the c_change bionic membrane as a three-layer laminate, and treated with coldblack reflective technology.
