German accessories firm Tourtech has branched out into the motorcycle clothing arena, with the Compañero adventure suit being the latest addition to its range.
Touratech says that its suit is the only textile suit manufactured in Europe to attain a AAA CE rating, thanks to the extensive use of Armacor overlays on the Cordura outer shell and the fitment of Level 2 armour at the shoulders, elbows, back, chest, hips and knees. A Gore-Tex Pro triple-layer laminate keeps out wind and rain, and ensures the suit doesn’t get saturated as water beads off rather than soaking through, while a total of 15 waterproof vents positioned in strategic areas keep things cool and dry on warmer days. A removable inner jacket made of Polartec Wind Pro fleece provides insulation, and can be worn separately for off-bike use.
As you would expect of a high-end suit, practical touches abound, including a double offset front zip, numerous pockets (including several waterproof ones), an integrated kidney belt for added back support, a removable Gore-Tex storm collar, and lots of reflective elements to improve visibility. Obviously German engineering and production doesn’t come cheap, and this top-of-the-range suit carries an SRP of €1999 for the jacket and €1199 for matching trousers.
