RidingGearApparel KLiM's New Africa Twin Suit
Eric Hall posted a topic in Gear, Farkles and Equipment
How cool are you going to look at Starbucks in this?! I saw Mike's KTM KLiM suit last summer and thought to myself "self, that's a great idea!" KLiM makes really good stuff. However, I hear BMW will have none of that. They think they already make the best suit Article from ADVPulse's Annette Peterson (read the whole thing) The jacket and pants are from KLiM's Latitude line. This link says "Africa Twin" but it doesn't look like they have current photos up yet. -
BMW Motorrad is launching the BMW Motorrad Street Air by Alpinestars, an advanced airbag system offering comprehensive upper body protection and the freedom to ride a motorbike in both on- and offroad situations. MUNICH/ASOLO – September 29, 2016 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – BMW Motorrad is launching the BMW Motorrad Street Air by Alpinestars, an advanced airbag system offering comprehensive upper body protection and the freedom to ride a motorbike in both on- and offroad situations. The technology adopted from the current Alpinestars Tech-Air® street airbag system – a system requiring no motorbike-mounted sensors. The airbag system of Alpinestars utilizes a sophisticated algorithm that detects imminent danger with the greatest precision and inflates the full upper body airbag to provide a highly effective crash protection system, ahead of the first impact. The BMW Motorrad Street Air Dry by Alpinestars textile riding jacket is designed to interconnect with the Alpinestars airbag system vest and is an essential component for the system to be fully operational. It offers instantaneous inflatable upper body protection to the back, kidneys, chest and shoulders – the most exposed areas in a crash. It is also fully independent, incorporating its sensors close to the rider’s or passenger’s body means the airbag activates without the need for a triggering wireless signal to be sent from the bike. This jacket is the first safety product to be launched under an exclusive agreement, between BMW Motorrad and Alpinestars and is available for both female and male customers in different colorways from October 2016. Key features of BMW Motorrad Street Air by Alpinestars: Full airbag inflation in 25 milliseconds for protection during crash impacts and loss-of-control situations when riding but also in stand-still situation – for example a rear impact while waiting at traffic lights. Function is independently of the need for sensors to be installed on the bike and the subsequent need to link a specific motorcycle to the airbag system. Immediately ready for use and no time is wasted in setting up electronic pairing between rider and/or passenger and motorcycle. Rider can easily switch between motorbikes without reconfiguring or reinitializing. Placing sensors near to the body means the airbag system can be used on road or for off-road adventure-touring. No need to deactivate the system if leaving the road for off-road trails or to stop in between to change settings. Changing surfaces while adventure-touring therefore presents no problem. System is protected by a durable and water-resistant casing which, when worn under a compatible outer jacket, means the airbag system is fully weatherproof. BMW Motorrad and Alpinestars offer the freedom to ride any bike on any surface at any time and can be used for on-road riding and off-road riding with any type of BMW motorcycle and also with all BMW scooters. BMW Motorrad is the only motorcycle manufacturer to have developed the complete range of rider equipment ever since the 1970s – from motorcycle helmets to rider suits, boots and gloves. In doing so, high priority is attached to maximum comfort for the rider and passenger as well as minimizing the potential consequences of accidents. BMW Motorrad has always regarded motorcycling and safety as being inseparably linked and anchored in the “Safety 360°” principle. “Safety 360°” breaks down the overall concept of safe motorcycling into three facets: safety technology in the vehicle, safety deriving from rider equipment and safety through rider training. Alpinestars has been innovating motorcycle riding technology for rider protection, performance and comfort for over 50 years. The Tech- Air™ airbag system, which forms the basis of their active safety cooperation with BMW Motorrad, is the result of Alpinestars’ intensive research and development which commenced in 2001. For decades, both companies have maintained a leading role in active and passive motorcycling safety. This new cooperation, between BMW Motorrad and Alpinestars, is now extending their position further through this joint development agreement.- 1 reply

I have always loved learning about new things (auto-didactic) and for a long time I was trying to think of one of the most neglected pieces of riding gear that we think is completely undifferentiated and then find something new about that topic. I think I have found a new topic with socks for adventure riding. The only thing I know about socks is that when I did the IDBDR last year probably the one thing that smelled the worst was my socks! I figured maybe the best way was just to buy a pack of them at a Wal-Mart or something, wear them for a day and then throw them away. I also have noticed that I tend to get leg cramps in my tent at night as well as find that sometimes my lower legs itch like crazy after a ride. So maybe there could be something to a sock made specifically for motorcycle riders? I did reach out to KLiM ($10-$96) for this article but got no response. I did, however, get the chance to speak with Moto-Skiveez' Shawn Lupcho and he gave me the 411 on their Compression Riding Sock with Aloe ($24.95; sizes S, L, XL). I have not tried these socks myself yet and Moto-Skiveez is not paying for this article in any way but I am motivated to go buy a pair myself now. I had also heard of Ugly Socks but found they support groups who shut down riding areas. Compression Riding Sock from Moto-Skiveez (image from ADVPulse's Rob Dabney) Rev'It's Socks Tour Summer The first pair of motorcycle-specific socks I got was RevIt's Socks Tour Summer ($39.99). They are positioned as helping deal better with heat and moisture but since they don't address odor and cost so much, I was reluctant to go back down that road. I found they lose their soft feel pretty quickly too and are really hard to pull onto your feet unless your skin is bone-dry. Icon Raiden's sock I've also worn these from Icon Raiden ($30) as well as SOKz ($20). Sokz These Compression Riding Socks from Moto-Skiveez have three main points of differentiation: compression, feel & odor control Compression Shawn (Moto-Skiveez) found a particular study from the UK while researching problems motorcyclists have with their legs that indicates a higher incidence of venous lower leg issues among motorcyclists than the general population. Their sock provides a low amount compression to help deal with that swelling (edema). The itching and cramps I experience are also related to lower limb venous issues associated with riding that compression can address. Feel Many compression socks out there work to reduce swelling but are poorly tolerated by the wearer because they are too tight and made from synthetic materials that don't feel very good on the skin. These socks are made with 40% natural Aloe Vera fiber that has a very good feel (better feel & wicking than cotton) that will address chafing. Odor Control This Aloe Vera fiber also serves an anti-microbial and anti-odor function. Aloe Vera fiber is also found in gauzes and bandages for this reason. Rider Testimonials I first heard of these socks from Dennis Godwin (GS Trophy '16) and he raves about them. He even let me sniff his socks after wearing them all day (yes, I went there) and to my surprise they did not stink. Rob Dabney of ADVPulse was challenged to wear one of these socks on one leg and another sock on the other leg and judge for himself... he decided the one from Moto-Skiveez was much better. Dusty Wessels reported he wore these socks while on a ride with RawHyde for three days straight and even though they got soaking wet, they didn't stink. Conclusion So I hope we've all learned something here? There are solutions out there for various lower leg issues like swelling, cramps, itching as well as odor. I thought a sock was just a sock but figured out there are a number of reasons you may want to pass on that 8-pack of tube socks the next time you're in the Wal-Marts. I will be sure to report back once I get myself a pair of these and can do a more complete product review. If you do have experience with these socks or any other gear, feel free to leave us your review so other riders can learn from your experience. -

The Arakis Pant was initially developed for the rigors of Baja rally competition. High speeds, scorching heat, and physically-demanding terrain were the challenges laid before the Arakis collection. We answered with a fully-vented Fighter Mesh™ chassis, tailored for over-the-boot fit. Nylon crash zone overlays, D3O® knee impact protectors, and leather inner leg paneling provide necessary reinforcement. The Arakis is the preferred warm weather kit of TEAM RAIDEN. SM-4XL -

We were talking about ADV Addicts new line of shirts that wick, provide spf and don't smell and merino wool was also mentioned. A few people mentioned Icebreaker but they contribute to groups that shut down riding areas.

I know it's such a small niche what we do (ride big adventure bikes) but my XLADV wardrobe aside from a few t-shirts I picked up at a trade show is not that imaginative. I saw this t-shirt Tolga Basol was wearing and asked him where he got it. He said "ADV Addicts." This is the one he had that I though was cool Of course, who would want one of these? They have more shirts as well as hats and surely more to come...

River Crossings. Knee-deep mud. Eleven days of solid rain. The Yukon is designed for adventure. Developed for anything Mother Nature can throw at you, the waterproof/breathable Exo-Dry™ laminated membrane has been carefully seam sealed to make this garment waterproof and windproof on the outside…no additional interior liner needed. Made to handle droves of abuse, the exterior of the jacket is a rugged combination of 500-denier nylon in the main body and heavy-duty 1680-denier nylon on the forearms, elbows, and shoulders. Whatever you throw at it, the Yukon shrugs off harsh conditions and begs for more. But when the weather turns nice and the sun starts beating down, the Yukon transforms into an air-pumping, heat-evacuating, climate-controlling beast. Massive vents on the forearms, biceps, lats, upper back, and kidneys can be cranked open for extreme ventilation. Nine external pockets and four internal mesh pockets take care of your storage needs. And what would an adventure be without the need for impact protection? Premium Sas-Tec® viscoelastic armor in the shoulders, elbows, back and torso provide comfortable protection exactly where you want it. This is maximum protection and versatility, the Yukon sets a new bar for what adventurous motorcyclists should expect from their gear. Exo-Dry™ main chassis is a 3 layer laminate constructed of a 100% 500-denier nylon that is seam sealed and waterproof/breathable Heavy duty nylon 1680 denier nylon abrasion zones Exo-Stitch® Safety Seams with heavy bar tacking at high stress/critical areas Nine external pockets, four of which are waterproof. Two internal mesh pockets, one internal mesh map pocket, and one hidden passport pocket Four enormous arm vents, two side-lat vents, one large rear shoulder vent, and two back torso vents All zippers are YKK® urethane coated with Black Oxide treatment to resist corrosion Sas-Tec® CE certified armor is used in elbows, shoulders, chest and back Compression molded vertically adjustable Kidney Belt is integrated and included NightViz® retro reflective material on shoulders, front and rear of torso, and back of neck 8” Jacket to Pant #5 YKK® zipper -

Some new gear announced today from Alpinestars. Do you know what an alpine star is? Do you know how Alpinestars got their start in the world of motorcycles? Bonus points to whomever can answer those questions (I'll come up with something). Sweet video. Yes it's very dirt-bike-y but these are still items many of us big bike riders wear.

Featuring a host of award-winning design innovations, such as a quick release locking system and a rear stabilizer offering critical protection to the spine, the BNS Tech affords a highly customizable, secure and comfortable fit for all forms of off-road riding. front rear And for the ladies...

The RAIDEN DKR Jacket has been purposely designed for the rigors of hardcore dual sport riding with both pattern design and material evolutions. The HYCOR waterproof/breathable chassis is Dupont Teflon® coated with all seams sealed – a touch many neglect. After a series of trail testing, ventilation zippers have been relocated to avoid moisture buildup, but still provide maximum ventilation. The main zipper features a gusset and a magnetic storm flap, and the Hydrolock front zipper is a premium touch only found on RAIDEN Jackets. Use in the Alcan 5000 saw us revise the Thermolite liner to be thicker, but with TechMesh panels built in for more efficient core regulation and more athletic fit. Half as heavy as its predecessor, the RAIDEN DKR Jacket’s HYCOR chassis provides all the waterproofness, and crashability but with less fatigue during extended rides. Removal of excess snaps, zippers and pulls further decreases the weight of the garment and enables a much improved fit. Competition use in the Baja 1000 led us to slim the profile of the body and arms to not bunch when standing up. The DKR Jacket works with you, instead of against you. Modularity is key to the RAIDEN DKR Jacket so that you may modify as the ride and conditions change. Twelve pockets, and even a seat pocket, add trail carrying capability. D3O® impact protector suite, water pack routing, and three exhaust vents create a chassis that is of the utmost preparedness for whatever your ride may hold. - See more at: http://www.iconraiden.com/collection/icon-raiden-dkr-jacket-glory/#sthash.YUpA3CU4.dpuf -

A demanding field-testing process has produced our most adventure-ready pant to date. The RAIDEN™ DKR Waterproof Pant is the premier accompaniment to the DKR Jacket. Sharing the same HYCOR chassis as the jacket, further lengths have been taken with full seam sealing, and full-leg waterproof YKK® zippers. Housed within the chassis is a full complement of D3O® impact protectors – both hip and knee. Removable boot stirrups and suspenders are also standard. Unmatched capability, leading wearability.

ICON Raiden is out with a new line called "Raiden UX." At first glance it appears to perhaps be slightly lighter and more stretchy than their DKR line yet still water-proof. What I hear is that it's constructed of 4-way stretch fabric commonly seen in high end outdoor apparel. The UX jacket is more of a lightweight "shell," similar to those worn by competitors in the Dakar rally than it is a do-it-all ADV jacket such as the DKR line. There are enough pockets to hold your phone and wallet, a removable full quilted liner (nice!), and a few vents when you need them. Icon Raiden is again using their proprietary Hycor™ waterproof and breathable membrane. It comes in four color options for the jacket (Black, Orange, HiViz and Battlescar-tan) two for the pant (black and denim) and two for the gloves (orange and black)

I have frozen for the last time and need to get some good heated gear. I rode with a heated vest once and it was heaven. I've heard of Gerbings but don't know much about them or other brands. Zach uses Tour Master Synergy 2.0 vest and likes it. Any other recommendations? I ride in SoCal where it's only cold in the winter and by cold I mean between about freezing and 50.

RidingGearApparel Keeping sand out of eyes?
Bryan Bosch posted a topic in Gear, Farkles and Equipment
Where I ride most of the time, it's sugar sand... everywhere! Not sure if this is a Triumph Tiger deal or no, but the sand that gets kicked off the front tire ends up in the vortex of wind coming up through the space where the forks run, channeling sand into my face. Now, I can close the face shield on my Aria XD4 helmet, but the sand still comes up through the opening at the bottom and swirles around/into my eyes. I really don't want to wear goggles, so I'm going to give these Bobber "Fat Boy" glasses a shot. Not only are the lenses light sensitive (photocromatic), I'm hoping that the foam around the eye sockets will enough to keep the vast majority of sand particles out of my helmet. Time will tell! I might have to fill in the small gaps in the foam though. Any other ideas outside of wearing goggles?
