The most remarkable innovation is the watertight insert zipping into the jacket and the pants included in the set. The insert comes in a new membrane structure with comfort mapping, a special concept taking the fact into account that the human body is made up of different climate zones and therefore offering the ideal membrane for each zone.

The new C.A.R.E. climate membrane from BMW Motorrad ensures good resistance to water, an active breathing effect and windproof protection. Additionally, its insulation qualities are weighted differently in the various zones and sections. Exposed body parts, for example, are protected against cold temperatures by an inner lining additionally roughened on the surface.

Comfort mapping distinguishes between three zones: Zone 1 (e.g. the rider’s back and upper pelvic area), comes with the designation “Flow” and has a high active breathing effect. Zone 2 (e.g. the knees, lower pelvic area, shoulders and neck) is referred to as “Comfort” and features light fleece warming up the body. Zone 3 used, inter alia, across the entire front section, comes with the name “Shield” and offers the highest standard of waterproof protection when riding.

The Rallye 3 suit is equipped with removable NP protectors developed by BMW and offering the highest standard of damping qualities. These protectors are provided wherever required, that is on the back, round the shoulders, on the elbows, the hips and knees (adjustable to three different levels).

For off-road use, the jacket may be combined with a protector vest or jacket. Applied reflector material around the sleeves and on the pant legs ensure good visibility in both bad weather and in the dark. A connection zipper between the jacket and the pants, finally, prevents the jacket from sliding up.

The rider out on a long trip demands the utmost in terms of comfort and equipment. The Rallye 3 suit meets these demands through its unparalleled versatility.

When going for a walk in town or on a short hike, the rider may wear the jacket as a vest after conveniently removing the sleeves. The collar top finished in soft leatherette ensures a pleasant feeling at all times when wearing the jacket while numerous hook-and-loop fasteners (on the elbows, the cuffs and the collar) allow individual adjustment. A tunnel cord around the bottom of the jacket ensures simple adjustment of jacket width for all kinds of sizes.

The pants likewise offer maximum comfort using hook-and-loop fasteners on the waist and around the bottom to ensure individual adjustment for both length and width. Leather inserts inside the knees give the rider good grip on the fuel tank even while standing on the footrests. Kevlar™ stretch zones above the knees and pelvis, together with stretch material on the lower legs, provide optimum freedom of movement. Pre-shaped sleeves and knees on the suit and insert help the rider maintain the perfect seat position at all times when riding on-road.

The physical effort when riding off-road as well as high temperatures during motorcycle tours in summer call for optimum climate management. Air flow is handled by removal zippers at the front of the sleeves, at the side around the waist and on the upper legs, with additional ventilation provided by vent surfaces on the chest opening and closing with hook-and-loop fasteners and a generous vent for extracting air at the back.

The Rallye 3 suit includes practical utility with a large number of individual pockets including two watertight hip pockets with hook-and-loop fasteners provided in the jacket itself. There are also two small pockets for odds and ends, one of which is secured by a zipper.

The right sleeve comes with a zippered pocket incorporating a sight window at the outside, while a large pocket in the lower back section split up into two halves and feature both a hook-and-loop fastener flap as well as an additional zipper pocket at the rear.

An outside back pocket serves to carry a Hydra TrinkPak, available as an accessory.

The pants come with two push-in pockets with a zipper on top and the pocket complete with a flap on the left upper leg is easy to open and close by hand thanks to its hook-and-loop fasteners.

The BMW logo is presented as a plastic emblem on both sleeves and as a metal rivet on the pant top. The name “BMW”, in turn, is embroidered on the rear pant pocket, embossed on the leather inserts around the knees, and presented additionally on the rubber-coated studs.
