BMW Motorrad is pleased to introduce the new Rider Equipment ranger for 2009.

Focused on innovation, style and functionality the new range of products caters for the most discerning motorcycle rider. From complete suits, consisting of a jacket and trouser to a new one piece suit, new gloves, functional wear, luggage and safety gear the 2009 collection has something for everyone.

New to the programme for 2009 is the CoverAll suit that is waterproof, windproof, breathable and has built in protection and designed to wear over clothing.

Other suits featured in the range, replace their highly successful predecessor models: the Streetguard 3 suit as the comfortable all-rounder, the Trailguard suit as the all-rounder for on-road and off-road use and the ventilated AirFlow suit for hot days. In each case, the new models reflect a significant increase in functionality.

Like all BMW Rider Equipment only high-quality materials are used with a first-class finish to guarantee optimum wear comfort and utility value.

The same applies to the new Allround 2 gloves suitable for riding throughout the year, the sporty Windbreaker jacket, the PCM functional undersuit 2 with membrane technology from aerospace research and the shirts and T-Shirts of the Silver Function product line.

Even greater safety and comfort is offered by the new Protector jacket 2 and the new Protector vest. The new items HipBag 2, Stuffbag 2 and Function 2 Rucksack are practical items for use on the road.

New items in the range also include a more economical version of the innovative BMW Motorrad safety system Neck Brace System Function, the practical MessengerBag for day tours and trips into town and a number of smart T-Shirts and jackets.

The new balaclavas Silk, Summer and Windbreaker 2 ensure a pleasant climate under the helmet, depending on the season. Along with these there are new matching neck warmers, which keep the cold away from the neck. Other items are presented for the 2009 season in new colours but in familiar top-class quality and maximum functionality, including the fabric ComfortShell suit, the light AirFlow 2 gloves for the summer, the sporty T-Shirt Jump 2 and the sweatshirt jacket Sport 2.
