Best Adventure Stylish Motorcycle Touring Suit?
BMW Streetguard suit, Is this a good-looking top-notch motorcycle outfit?
A closer look reveals that every inch of the StreetGuard jacket and pant is done to perfection
The history and development of BMW Streetguard suit began a decade ago. Breathable, windproof and waterproof, this jacket is a genuine all-rounder that comes with a thermal inner jacket and removable thermal trouser liners.
We just got our suits a few days ago. We’re on the right track if women like it. :). Yes, it’s expensive and yes, as you’d expect from BMW it’s made from all manner of high tech materials that keep you warm in winter and cool in summer with a bamboozling spec that means little to any of us, other than posting the question… does it work? To which the simple answer is yes.

Here’s my unboxing and first impressions. We had a bitterly cold day yesterday. So I took a ride to see what it was like.
Conclusion
Is it a comfortable suit? Yeah, it’s very comfortable and light. Is it watertight? a forum member’s response (So the test…..my Son and I went on a week long trip down the Blue Ridge Parkway from Michigan in mid-Oct. It rained everyday and couple times right at the edge of where I wanted to pull off for a bit. Never once got cold or had any leaking ZERO. So as far as water proof forget about that it 100%.). For me a textile suit has to do several important things. Warm, obviously, waterproof, absolutely – 100% or it’s crap.
Armour and crash protection should be good enough for me to be confident I’ll stand up and walk away from a typical wet weather or slippery spill. But it also has to have at least two fully waterproof pockets and be easy to get on and off. Plus, there have to be no gaps between jacket and trousers, zips that survive winter after winter with no maintenance and never break and enough room at the collar, cuffs and ankles to get over whatever jumpers, fleeces, gloves or boots I might be wearing with it. ‘ll be wearing the Streetguard suit for some big trips this year. Check back for more on how we get on…
