Did you know that We define a leather as being of
good quality only if it still shows
no sign of wear even after
50,000 bend movements?
We subject samples from every
delivery to stringent testing?
Suppliers first have to prove the
quality of their products over
a month-long trial period?
Almost all of our suits (including
leather) are machine washable?
In our efforts to attain even higher quality, we continually work to
create or develop new materials?
BMW Motorrad Riders Apparel must first of all prove its worth on countless miles of road and in extended laboratory tests.
This ensures that you receive only the very highest quality, perfectly formed, Riders Apparel.
The further you travel the
better it gets. And we try to
make it even better.
We cover innumerable test miles
on the road to put our products
through their paces and track
down any possible weaknesses.
We know that every item of BMW
Motorrad Riders Apparel will often
be a loyal partner for many years
and a reliable companion over
countless miles. The patina
acquired by the leather jacket, the
permanent creases in the trousers
and the crumpled sections on the
boots reflect the very personal
history of the motorcyclist from
countless trips over the years. This
unique history gives every item an
element of individuality, and one
that makes all the difference. Every
item is as individual as the rider
who wears it and the experiences

With us, the real service
begins after you have made
your purchase.
First class manufacturing and high
quality materials are the necessary
requirement for you to enjoy using
your motorcycle clothing for a long
time to come. To ensure that this
enjoyment does not come to an
abrupt end, we also want to be
there to assist you later, whenever
this may be necessary. This begins
with cleaning and care using coordinated care sets (p. 120) for the
various materials, the development
of which, by the way, also places
particular attention on the environment.
Another service we offer through
an authorized BMW Riders Apparel
repair company is alterations which
every dealer will be happy to assist
you with. This for example includes
moving protectors to exactly the
right place, lengthening or shortening arms and legs as well as
changing zippers or Velcro fasteners. And in the unlikely event of
a clasp, button or protector breaking or getting lost, you can be sure
that we will be able to provide you
with a suitable replacement.
Our service products are great
value for money, and they help
retain the high quality you would
expect from our clothing in the
long term.
rable longevity is the excellent
level of quality. This doesnt only
involve series of practical tests but
also thorough laboratory testing
and necessitates the use of select
materials of superior quality. Then
there is the continually monitored
workmanship at the highest level
and tests for washing ability, photostability and resistance to oil and
perspiration.
There is hardly anything that we
do not subject to shaking, chafing,
stretching, rubbing or pounding.
And this is quite apart from the
theoretical tests.
Only then are you able to rely on
obtaining a standard of quality that
you can look for elsewhere in vain.
A material really has to be thickskinned if it isnt going to be
weakened by the passage of time.
