PRO GuIDe Compañero Boreal riding suit TOURATECH’S latest version of its Compañero technical riding suit, which follows on from the Worldwide and Black Editions, is the Boreal. Made with a high-quality, triple layered laminate with a climate membrane, it is designed for all those who rarely travel under the tropical sun, and for whom the double suit system of the present Compañero is too cumbersome. The waterproof suit includes an innovative ventilation system, trousers fitted with detachable thermo-lining, a Polartec fleece inner jacket, which can be worn separately, and a generously cut triple-layer laminate by Gore-Tex. Additional features are various reflective surfaces, a practical backpack, adjustable arm, hip and waist lengths, as well as a selection of pockets. The trouser legs are fitted with zippers to make them easy to get on over boots, and the boot section is additionally reinforced with Cordura to provide maximum durability. The latest generation SAS-TEC soft protectors provide safety and comply with the highest motorcycle standards. "Riders often asked us for a classic combination with the same high quality and comfort standards as the Worldwide Compañero. This is the group we are addressing," said Tilo Jentzsch, the product manager responsible for the Compañero Boreal. Development was oriented more towards classical bike travellers than globetrotting adventurers, and was created in collaboration with German clothing outfitter Stadler and is manufactured in the EU. It consists of black trousers and a jacket which is available in black or black-grey-yellow. The Compañero Boreal is available in the men's sizes standard, short and long, as well as in a ladies’ cut.

Thanks to a rear protector sleeve, the jacket can also be upgraded with a central back protector. The collar of the AiRide
