124 125 BMW Motorrad Riders Apparel is characterized by high abrasion resistance, durability and an ideal fit. Only materials of the very highest quality are used. Leather Not all leathers are the same and we therefore ensure that we always use the very best quality. Only cowhides from the European Alpine regions, and the very best of these, are the material we use in our jackets and trousers. The minimum thickness is 1.2 mm, but this is often exceeded. The abrasion values are therefore excellent. Dynatec the safety plus factor Active breathing textile, extremely tear- and stretch-resistant (at speeds up to approx. 50 higher than Cordura 500 1) and extraordinarily comfortable to wear. With part-integral wear protected and reflective threads. GORE-TEX Armacor New, air-permeable, windproof and permanently waterproof material, which displays excellent abrasion characteristics thanks to Kevlar (approx. 100 improved crash resistance compared to Cordura 500 1). For the first time, the GORE- TEX membrane is not integrated as an inner layer, but is directly attached to the upper material. This reduces the effect of the upper material soaking up moisture and the consequent penetration of cold and increased weight of the jacket. InoTex A great looker and a strong performer. Elastic cotton, impregnated against water absorption, creates a jeans appearance in the upper material, and copious use of Kevlar and Dynafil in the lower section results in unusually good abrasion characteristics. The final product is that InoTex combines safety of a high-tech textile with the casual look and active breathing properties of jeans. Cordura 500/700 A specially developed nylon fabric with highly active breathing properties. Achieves very good values for tear and abrasion resistance and has a high melting point of 410 F. We always apply a double layer in areas most at risk in a fall. Cordura 700 is able to withstand crashes at road speeds about 20 % higher than Cordura 500. 1 1The fall values for the upper materials are tested in BMWs own fall simulation laboratory.
