great video, feeling sad for the passing of Cristian, may he RIP
RIP Christian. You are sorely missed.
Never thought you will pass away in that suit RIP, thanks for the adventures
Rip brother
Miss this guy
love how your mannequin " and look to the nowhere zone out" when he tried to understand wtf you talking about, great video as always and nice review, thank you, cheers V!
The mannequin looks so unhappy wearing the BMW gear...hilarious.
The BMW gear maybe expensive but it is good.Spend the extra and be happy.
Bruce Kendall I like Klim myself.
@@failranch9542 Same. I only buy from brands that specialize. Arai helmet, Klim Gear, Sidi Boots, Held Gloves, etc. The only BMW thing I would buy is a helmet since they are made by schuberth.
Have quite a lot of BMW riding gear and would agree with the author on many points. Helmet is very good (both Shuberth and Touratech don't fit my head as good as BMW), plenty of air inside with big jaw but very noisy on highway + swapping visors twice a day on long tips (and carrying the 2nd one all the time) is bad. Gravel boots - sole is too soft for standing up, I bought Sidi's Adventures instead, Rainlock Suit - perfect after few seasons and 1000's of kilometers in the rain, still like new.
I enjoy watching proper gear reviews like these since its the right way to review it through long trips with mixed conditions.
Great review you guys are just fantastic and doing a great job. But I would like to see a review about the best riding gear what you ever had because you are always wearing high quality adventure riding suits so if you can do like a personal top 10 riding suits or something like that that’s would be great .
Yeaah a great idea. Pls do that !!
Great review from a real test 👍 It's a shame we can't get that kit without the BMW branding, because it'll look silly on my KTM 🙁
There is a solution....
@@smarterthananatheist Would you mind pointing it out?
@@RedRupert64 😂
That’s funny - I’m the opposite. All my gear is BMW as are my bikes. I can’t look at other bikes because my gear would be wrong! 😁😳
@@RedRupert64 the solution is…. Sell the KTM and get a BMW! There you have it. 😜
I’ve got the Rallye Suit and pants as well. Love them as they have such a large dynamic temperature range and any weather. Also like the integrated water bladder. I’ve worn them in Europe, Asia and Australia with no problems and a washing machine clean after 👍🏻😁
A really good review, I like the interaction between you, you are like a married couple.
I think the rally suit is a very high quality (but expensive) product, however, for me, there is too much kit for one trip... adventure jacket, Adventure pants, waterproof jacket, waterproof pants, summer gloves, rain gloves not to mention the thermal liner ( top and bottom) for cold weather. Where is The ONE suit for all conditions? Why does it not exist?
Thanks for all your reviews, and I loved the Patagonia trip.... you are a lucky boy.

I have the exact same helmet. Very comfy. Also removing the chin vent is great for summer. The adventure summer gloves are also great.
Just too many layers to wear in order to be comfortable. For my part, I ride a KLIM Carlsbad jacket and pants with a T-shirt and when the temperature drops I add a Harley-Davidson electric jacket (unplugged) then when its very cold (from 16 to zero celcius), I plug it and I am very comfortable. And my suit is water proof as well. Always dry, always warm, enjoying riding. Boots are dry and warm too as they are Alpinestar Toucan.
Another great review! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great review, can you add a list of the gear? I wonder which brand/model is the orange rain jacket
Hello. They all come from the BMW Rider Equipment series. The Rain jacket is called Rainlock
Thank you, great job, on of the best channels related with motorcycles.
Thanks for the review/overview of the gear. I was hoping for a list of gear in the description so I can find it or something like it if discontinued myself. Can you add the list to the video description section?
“And it smells quite good!”
Great review!
Thanks guys! That's what I call a proper review! One question; does the intercom allow you to plug in a pair of earphones instead of the speakers? With love, Ken
How does the BMW outfit compare to your Rev it jacket/pants hanging on the wall?
As always, great vid! Where did you get the visor?
A lot of new gear wow. When are you going to come ride Scotland roads? 🏴 haha
Soon enough, I hope.
DriveMag Riders let us know when and we’ll help you out with local information 👍🏻
Thank you for full information about all the BMW-equipment.
So, you say, the boots are too soft. Which boots do you now want to buy: BMW Venture-Grip or other ?
Thanks again for the full advices.
Kind regards from germany, Georg
i am waiting for
2020 crf1100 africa twin adventure sports video
Coming soon.
it a tough call to decide which are important & which are regret to bring with on each journey
The front vent cover on the chin guard pops off and then you get a lot more ventilation.
Hi ! Thanks for the video. What is the blue jacket behind on the wall ? I like the design with the yellow part. Would it be possible to tell me please ? Thanks a lot
But can you wear it while riding a ktm? Or will the bike crash itself?
It won't even start. :))
Thks a lot for the interesting review. What is your opinion of the BMW Street AIR bike airbag vest with the Street AIR and StreetGuard AIR jackets?
very good video
Could you please suggest which one to choose and why
1. Likes of Revit Dominators GTX - big dollars
2. Jackets such as Hit-Air or Helite with integrated safety airbag
3. Mid range 200-400$ range coupled with separate airbag vests
Also a basic question, while riders these days are opting for big dollar jackets yet I don't see much interest in airbag jackets? Were airbag jackets a fad that died down already?
Into adventure touring so researching before I upgrade. TIA!
Great review, I have one question that I can't seem to find an answer for, is the outer/inner rain jacket breathable? Thanks
Please add a list of gear to the description of the video
I still think my D-Explorer is a way better four season suit. And I was too hot because I was an idiot and did not take the Gore-Tex liner out of the suit. Your helmet was a zillion times better for what we did than my shitty, yet expensive, AGV Sportmodular.
Rally Pro! For 21.
Hello from greece🇬🇷 very good job! Do u prefer this Bmw suit or revit ?
Σπυριδων Γκουτεβαινος
I have the same question.
Rev it does the job. Bmw is too expensive imo
Awesome video! Please review the Ducati Multistrada 1260 Enduro!
I'm in doubt, I don't know whether to buy the bmw rallye jacket or the Revit Offtrack. Have you tried the offtrack?
It is comfortable to use in hot areas riding..? Like in areas above 35-40 degrees Celsius temperatures..? Or it is just for cool areas..? Can we use it while riding in Africa and other hot areas..?
You should provide links for purchase.
I've always been a dainese man but if i buy a gs / gsa I'd be tempted to go with the bmw gear ! I wonder how it compares to the dainese goretex gear quality wise
The number of layers necessary with some like this makes no sense. Get a gore tex embedded shell, like a Klim Latitude, where the water proofing is bonded to the jacket. Then you never need to worry about stopping to put a rain jacket over (or under) the main suit. All you need are various layers for warmth...or no layers in hot weather.
Nice looking suit (if your a BMW fan boy) and good review as always, but for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would not go Gore tex. I would never go back to all that stopping and starting every time it rains putting this on and taking that off. Over suits cook you so you get wet from sweat as boil in the bag is not fun and liners keep you dry (ish) but everything over the top just soaks up the water and you have wet gear to deal with at the end of the day.
Tried the Dainese D-Explorer GTX and Revit Defender Pro GTX. Not so good after a couple of hours of rain. Maybe the laminated GTX is better - I have it on the Rev it! Ridge GTX. Feels better.
What size helmet were you using? How is the sizing compared to Shoei or Schuberth?
Bravo
Hi, what size is your rally suit, I am trying to get one but I didn't try this becoz showroom is very very far, my weight is 75 kg n hight is 5.9
Which bmw glove was that big one
Where can you get the Blue Tinted Visor from I can’t find one anywhere do you have a link?
Rain lock jacket has no any velcro adjustments??
We want to know the camera witch one you are using for the vlog thanks
i agree, BMW apparel is good quality but so expensive...
Does the beak create drag.. Or makes helmet move alot?
What make and model are the waterproof over trousers? They are just what I need.
Steve.
BMW Rainlock Trousers.
RIP
Yes I do have a question regarding the Bluetooth connection, how good is it? is it clear when you drove on highway?
Hello. Are you talking about the bike-to-bike intercom feature? Or is it about the volume? For me, the volume was a bit too low, or maybe I should have used the aditional pads to get the speakers right next to my ears.
@@DriveMagRiders thanks for your reply, yes I was talking about the volume especially when you are driving in high speed and bike-to-bike intercom feature. how many can you communicate at the same time and what is the range if you have any idea?
@@NomadOnGS I have to check the specs. I had only one intercom connection, and it worked well for 100-200 meters in straight lines. After that, the quality begins to drop. The volume think also depends on the helemet. I found the GS helmet to be a bit noisy, I had to put the ear plugs on. With the ear plugs, I couldn't understand what the other guy was saying after more than 100 kph. Had the sena smh10s and felt better. Still, I have to try those pads. But I'm afraid that the helmet would become uncomfortable. Get back to you soon.
everyzing loox very nice
Need your suggestion
how tall are you?, seeing you ride big ADV bikes
What is the size of the jacket that you used?
48
Can you get tinted visors for the BMW Helmet? If so where?
Yes. From the official shop.
Any ideas which one you went to as here in England it does not come up. 🙏🏻
Is the suit made with Gore-tex material?
No. It has it waterproof membrane that you should wear on the outside, but no Goretex.
Which is the red jacket?
BMW Rainlock. I have been thinking about buying one for years to wear over my Rallye Jacket and after seeing it in action on the Patagonia video I bought one straight away. Great quality and will work well over a leather bike jacket too if it starts raining.
I dont think this gear is better thank Klim / Spidi / Dainese / Revit , and its pricey
Hi. Băieți, haideți cu un review de genul pe “pemotoare.ro”(scuze de repetiție 🤭). V-am scris pe ambele canale cum că mi-aș dori un review la echipament(sigur nu sunt singurul doritor), mă bucur că ați ascultat. Nu că nu aș știi engleză, dar vreau să-mi aud limba, și sunt sigur că și voi v-ați simți mai confortabil și ați avea poate mai multe detalii de dat... așa că haideți, please! 😁
See
I had both GS helmet and Rallye jacket. Both are overpriced average gear.
The helmet neck strap snap button strap torn within 2 months.
The jacket is not bad but there is no adjustment for armors, all the zippers used are tiny not. At the same price you can get much robust jacket with better ventilation.
...for instance?

@@sukhoi3747 thank you!
45 degree in india
Nice vlog Sir i from Philippines
This a drem
Why do I think vampire when he talks?
How does the BMW outfit compare to your Rev it jacket/pants hanging on the wall?
The BMW outfit is better than the Rev'it Offtrack. Feels better, looks better, more quality fabric. But it also comes with a double price.
