100 % 10 % C.A.R.E. Weather protection and climate control The C.A.R.E. weather forecast. Did you know that GORE-TEX allows up to 8,200 g of moisture to escape in the form of water vapor over a period of 24 hours? BMW GORE-TEX boots remain dry from a walk through a 200-mile-long puddle? Water proofed BMW Motorrad nubuk leather absorbs 10 % water at most, meaning that it remains drier, and therefore also dries much more quickly than conventional leather? All outer materials used by BMW Motorrad are impregnated with a water repellent? Wet clothing with the GORE- TEX XCR membrane is best dried by simply hanging the item of clothing in a suitable location and allowing the air get to it. Be independent of the wind and the rain. Or better still, create your own personal climate, with C.A.R.E. Because C.A.R.E. maximizes the fact that there is a perfect climate between you and your BMW clothing. This in turn means better concentration and safety on the road. We have made great efforts in this respect and we suspect that as a result the competition will be breaking out into a cold sweat. We have applied a great deal of care to every last detail wind tight zipper fasteners, sealed seams and other water exclusion mechanisms. Materials that are permeable to water but allow perspiration to escape while excluding the formation of stale air. Intelligent textiles that are able to compensate for swings in temperature. Or variable inserts that allow you to show cold temperatures the cold shoulder. The results can be seen for themselves. And felt as well. It makes no difference whether you choose to wear leather or textile. Wherever you see the C.A.R.E. symbol, you can be sure of good weather. Warmly recommended in cold temperatures: BMW Motorrad rider wear. Water absorption 10 % Hydrophobic leather Untreated leather Water absorption 100 % GORE-TEX cross-section.
