Equipment to protect motorcyclists from the cold and rain - Bering

WHAT GEAR CAN YOU WEAR TO FACE THE COLD, RAIN AND WIND ON YOUR MOTORBIKE?

Are you planning a road trip to Lapland? Would you like to enjoy the most beautiful passes in the Alps during the cold season, or continue to enjoy riding your two-wheeler in town during the winter?

 

Whatever the situation, to enjoy your motorbike journeys in all weathers, the most important thing is to be as well equipped as possible. With the right equipment, navigating through showers, fog and low temperatures can become an easier challenge.

 

Follow along as BERING offers you an overview of equipment and accessories designed to cope with the extreme cold, rain and wind that are typical of the winter season and certain regions of the world.

OUR EXPERTISE: THERMAL LINERS AND WATERPROOF MEMBRANES

 

Before discovering the products, let's take a look at their components. Whether on a motorbike, scooter or any other two- or three-wheeled motorised vehicle, rain, cold and wind are far from pleasant, but thanks to its technical expertise and sense of innovation, BERING, as a motorbike equipment brand, is able to make them more tolerable.

 

SHELLTECH thermal liners - Bering

 

For the lowest temperatures, the thermal liners developed by BERING, represented by the 4 levels of the SHELLTECH concept, are essential.

 

Widely used in the Touring and Adventure ranges, the thermal liners built into winter motorbike jackets and jackets and technical trousers give both adventurers and everyday motorcyclists extra protection against the cold.

 

Depending on the product, they can be fixed or removable, or even in the form of separable under-jackets. Products with a removable thermal lining are characterised by their versatility, for use in the middle of winter but also in other weather conditions, such as mid-season, on a motorbike or on foot.

 

BWTECH waterproof membranes - Bering

 

For rain and wind, however, the waterproof membrane comes into play. At the very heart of the product's design, this element has a single objective: to contribute to the comfort of all motorcyclists, whatever the weather.

 

Various membranes are among the technologies used by BERING to design waterproof and breathable motorbike equipment such as jackets, technical trousers, gloves and footwear. Some motorbike jackets, motorbike vests and matching technical trousers use a concept developed by BERING: BWTECH waterproof inserts, available in 4 versions depending on their level of waterproofness and breathability.

 

Other products, such as the Zephyr and Lady Zephyr motorbike outfits, are made from laminate, a material designed to optimise the weight of the product while maintaining effective protection against rain and wind by combining it with a membrane.

 

 

PROTECTION AGAINST WIND, RAIN AND COLD: IN AND OUT OF TOWN

Men's and women's Wembley and Lady Wembley motorbike jacket - Bering

 

To select the right equipment and technologies, the first step is to identify your needs as a motorcyclist. All that's left for you to do is choose your favourite style from a range of suitable motorbike equipment!

 

You're always on your motorbike or scooter, doing whatever you need to do, and you need something stylish and elegant, but no less protective? That's the idea behind the Wembley parka: a jacket inspired by ready-to-wear clothing, with a hood trimmed with artificial fur and large pockets.

 

This long jacket, available for men or women, is particularly suited to cold weather, thanks to its integrated thermal lining and BWTECH Classic membrane. It's the ideal combination to protect you from the wind and rain on your daily commute, whether on a motorbike or scooter, or on foot.

 

Freeway adventure motorbike kit - Bering

 

If you're thinking of venturing out of town to :

 

  • ride over snow-covered mountain passes, which are more or less passable even on a motorbike,
  • take part in winter events where you can get together with other bikers who are just as resistant to the cold as you are and enjoy a good fire on a frozen plain,
  • go on a road trip on a two-wheeler, heading - let's guess - for Nordkapp in Norway,

 

you're sure to find what you're looking for in BERING's Adventure or Touring ranges. Equipment designed for adventure at the end of the wheel, on roads and tracks, and always designed to maximise comfort and protection for the biker.

 

And what could be better than BERING's most "extreme" Adventure motorbike set? Let yourself be tempted by the Freeway men's motorbike set: a motorbike jacket and matching technical trousers, both including a BWTECH Extrem waterproof membrane. The Freeway motorbike jacket is completed by a removable SHELLTECH Extrem thermal lining, for greater resistance to the coldest temperatures.

 

The Freeway motorbike jacket is designed with comfort in mind: removable collar, zip with Magnetozip technology, numerous internal and external pockets. And the materials are no slouch either: the Freeway motorbike jacket and technical pants are made from recycled Serica Twill and softshell, for optimum freedom of movement both on and off the road.

COLD- AND RAIN-RESISTANT RIGHT DOWN TO THE TIPS OF YOUR TOES

X-Tourer men's motorbike boots - Bering

 

Let's not underestimate the vital importance of choosing the right footwear for the weather. For motorcyclists, the dampness that can easily creep up on the feet can be a real problem, particularly because of the numbness that can occur on long journeys.

 

The ideal solution to this problem is to equip yourself with motorbike boots like the X-Tourer from BERING's Touring range. With their specially adapted reinforcements and external microfibre, these men's motorbike boots are designed to provide the protection bikers need, while remaining comfortable thanks to their side zip and gusset. In case of bad weather, the integrated waterproof membrane will keep you dry. The perfect combo for long journeys, come wind, rain or snow!

 

 

 

 

Also in the footwear department, BERING has developed Lady Opale boots for women, combining cowhide leather with a water-repellent treatment that prevents rain and moisture from seeping through. The side zip and integrated reinforcements provide added protection for women bikers on the road. Lady Storia motorbike boots are a practical choice for bikers who ride all year round, or almost all year round, with a style that's perfect for everyday wear and long-distance riding.

HEATED EQUIPMENT TO GO EVEN FURTHER

Breva and Lady Breva heated motorbike gloves for men and women - Bering

 

You don't have heated grips on your bike, and even the warmest jacket lining isn't enough to keep you warm in winter?

 

The solution for you may lie in a specific category of items. Why not take the plunge and discover equipment such as heated motorbike gloves or even a heated under-jacket?

 

Most heaters have an internal heating system adapted to the product, powered by a rechargeable battery. Often with different intensity levels, the length of time the product is used depends on the type of equipment and the level chosen.

 

Powered by 2 batteries that can be recharged in 3 and a half hours, the B-Warm system developed by BERING equips the Breva and Lady Breva heated motorbike gloves with an adjustable internal heating system. These softshell gloves for men and women incorporate protective shells and palm reinforcements, not forgetting the waterproof membrane to insulate against external moisture.

 

With 4 adjustable intensity levels for up to 8 hours of use, Breva and Lady Breva heated motorbike gloves are a must-have for bikers who want to stay comfortable in cold weather.

 

For bikers looking for additional equipment to combat the cold, the Warmor under-jacket is ideal as a complement to a waterproof membrane jacket. Its softshell fabric, waist tightening and 3 pockets make the Warmor under-jacket comfortable and practical for everyday use. Designed as a long-sleeved heated waistcoat, the Warmor features the B-Warm system with its 4 intensity settings for up to 10 hours of heating, with a full recharge in 3 hours.

 

 

Well-being and comfort make your motorcycling experiences ever more enjoyable, and riding in winter or bad weather should never diminish that pleasure. From motorbike jackets and technical trousers with waterproof membranes to footwear and heated equipment, the BERING range offers a variety of products designed to enhance your riding experience. This equipment provides bikers with the protection they need against rain, cold and wind, allowing them to ride with greater freedom whatever the weather.
