WHAT EQUIPMENT TO BRAVE COLD, RAIN, AND WIND ON A MOTORCYCLE?
Have you planned a road trip to Lapland, want to enjoy the most beautiful passes of the Alps in the cold season, or continue to enjoy your two-wheeler in the city during winter?
Whatever the situation, to enjoy your motorcycle trips in all weather, the important thing is to equip yourself as best as possible. Navigating between showers, fog, and low temperatures can become, with the right equipment, a simpler challenge to tackle.
BERING offers you an overview of the equipment and accessories dedicated to the conditions of extreme cold, rain, and wind, typical of the winter season and certain regions of the globe.
OUR EXPERTISE: THERMAL LININGS AND WATERPROOF MEMBRANES
Before discovering the products, let's review what they are made of. Whether on a motorcycle, scooter, or any other motorized two or three-wheeled vehicle, rain, cold, and wind are far from pleasant, but thanks to its technical expertise and sense of innovation, BERING, as a motorcycle equipment brand, is able to make them more tolerable.
Against the lowest temperatures, the thermal linings developed by BERING, represented by the 4 levels of the SHELLTECH concept, are essential.
Very present within the universes Touring and Adventure, the thermal linings integrated into the blouson and jackets winter motorcycle and technical pants allow adventurers and everyday motorcyclists to benefit from enhanced protection against the cold.
Depending on the products, they can be fixed or removable, or even in the form of separable under-jackets. Products with removable thermal lining are characterized by their versatility, for use in the middle of winter but also in other climatic conditions, such as mid-season, on a motorcycle or on foot.
On the other hand, to face the rain and wind, it is the waterproof membrane that comes into play. At the very heart of product design, this element has one goal: to contribute to the comfort of all motorcyclists in all weather.
Different membranes are part of the technologies used by BERING to design motorcycle equipment such as the blouson and jackets, technical pants, waterproof and breathable gloves, and shoes. Some blouson motorcycle, jackets motorcycle, and matching technical pants use a concept developed by BERING: the waterproof inserts BWTECH, available in 4 versions according to their level of waterproofness and breathability.
Other products are designed in laminate, a material imagined to optimize the weight of the product while maintaining effective protection against rain and wind by combining it with a membrane, like the motorcycle sets Zephyr and Lady Zephyr.
PROTECTION AGAINST WIND, RAIN, AND COLD: IN THE CITY AND BEYOND
To select the appropriate equipment and technologies, the first step is to identify your needs as a motorcyclist. You will then only have to choose your favorite style among the adapted motorcycle equipment!
Does your daily life allow you to ride a motorcycle or scooter for your various activities, and do you need stylish, elegant yet protective equipment? That's the whole idea of the parka Wembley : offering a jacket inspired by ready-to-wear, with its hood lined with artificial fur and its large pockets.
This long jacket available for men or women is particularly suited to cold weather, thanks to its integrated thermal lining and its BWTECH Classic membrane. It's the ideal combination to protect you from wind and rain in your daily travels, whether by motorcycle, scooter, or on foot.
If you rather plan to venture out of the city for:
- crossing snowy mountain passes, more or less passable even by motorcycle,
- attending winter gatherings to meet with other motorcyclists as cold-resistant as you and enjoy a good bonfire on a frozen plain,
- going on a road trip on two wheels, heading - at random - to Nordkapp in Norway,
You have every chance of finding happiness among the Adventure or Touring universes of BERING. Equipment designed for adventure at the end of the road, on paths as well as on the road, always designed for maximum comfort and protection for the motorcyclist.
And what could be better than the most "extreme" motorcycle set Adventure by BERING? Let yourself be tempted by the men's motorcycle set Freeway : a motorcycle jacket and its matching technical pants, both including a waterproof membrane BWTECH Extrem. The motorcycle jacket Freeway is completed by a removable SHELLTECH Extrem thermal lining for better resistance to the coldest temperatures.
The motorcycle jacket Freeway focuses, in its design, on designs providing increased comfort: removable collar, zipper with Magnetozip technology, numerous internal and external pockets. The materials are not left out: the motorcycle jacket and the technical pants Freeway are made of recycled Serica Twill and softshell, for optimal freedom of movement on the road and on the ground.
RESISTING COLD AND RAIN DOWN TO THE TOES
Let's not underestimate the crucial importance of choosing, in the shoe department, equipment that matches the weather conditions to be faced. For motorcyclists, moisture that easily seeps into the feet can be a real problem, especially due to the feeling of numbness that can occur during long journeys.
To remedy this problem, the ideal solution is to equip yourself with motorcycle boots like the X-Tourer from the Touring range by BERING. With their adapted reinforcements and external microfiber, these men's motorcycle boots are designed to provide the necessary protection for riders while remaining comfortable thanks to their side zip and gusset. In bad weather, the integrated waterproof membrane will keep you dry. An optimal combo for long journeys, whether it's windy, raining, or snowing!
Still in the footwear department, BERING has developed women's boots Lady Opale, combining cowhide leather with a water-repellent treatment that prevents rain and moisture infiltration. The side zip and integrated reinforcements enhance the protection of female riders on the road. With a style suitable for both everyday use and long outings, the Lady Storia motorcycle boots are a practical choice for female riders who ride all year round or almost.
HEATED EQUIPMENT TO GO EVEN FURTHER
You don't have heated grips on your two-wheeler, and even the warmest jacket lining isn't enough to keep you from feeling frozen in winter?
The solution for you might lie in a specific category of items. Why not take the plunge and discover equipment such as heated motorcycle gloves or even a heated under-jacket?
Heated items mostly consist of an internal heating system adapted to the product, powered by a rechargeable battery. Often equipped with different intensity levels, the duration of product use depends on the type of equipment and the level chosen.
Powered by 2 rechargeable batteries in 3 hours and 30 minutes, the B-Warm system developed by BERING equips the heated motorcycle gloves Breva and Lady Breva. These softshell gloves for men and women integrate protective shells and palm reinforcements, not to mention the waterproof membrane that insulates from external moisture.
Thanks to the 4 adjustable intensity levels for a maximum duration of 8 hours of use, the Breva and Lady Breva heated motorcycle gloves are an asset for riders concerned about their comfort in cold weather.
For riders looking for additional equipment to combat the cold, the heated under-jacket Warmor is ideal as a complement to a waterproof membrane jacket. Its softshell material, waist tightening, and 3 pockets make the Warmor under-jacket comfortable and practical for everyday use. Designed as a long-sleeved heated vest, the Warmor integrates the B-Warm system and its 4 intensity settings to offer up to 10 hours of heat, with a full recharge in 3 hours.
Well-being and comfort make your motorcycle experiences always more enjoyable, and riding in winter or bad weather should never diminish this pleasure. From motorcycle jackets and technical pants with waterproof membranes to shoes, including heated equipment, the BERING range offers a variety of products designed to enhance your riding experience. This equipment provides motorcyclists with the necessary protection against rain, cold, and wind, allowing for more freedom regardless of the weather.
