There’s a lot of jokes made about BMW’s Rallye suits. They’re compared to everything from Power Ranger outfits to circus attire. But are they any good? BMW Motorrad challenged Adventure Rider Magazine’s editor to put a suit to the test.

I’m a big fan of good riding apparel,and I’ve been lucky enough to own and try some of the best. I like Klim gear, lately I’ve been hugely impressed with a Macna suit, and while I’ve never owned or used a Touratech Companero rig, the boss has one and loves it. I’ve ridden with importer Robin Box often enough to know if he gives the nod to something it must be good.
