GORE-TEX, THE ULTIMATE ALLY FOR BERING PREMIUM MOTORCYCLING EQUIPMENT

Developed since the 1980s by the Gore company, GORE-TEX, a material made from expanded synthetic polymers, continues to revolutionise the world of technical and outdoor clothing. Both waterproof and breathable, these materials are great assets for motorbike equipment, guaranteeing protection against wind and rain while ensuring rider comfort.

At BERING, GORE-TEX materials such as laminates and high-performance membranes have been an integral part of our range of essentials for over 20 years. In our products, GORE-TEX materials are combined with linings to combine waterproofing, breathability and thermal insulation.

From Touring to Adventure, BERING relies on GORE-TEX to provide the ideal textiles and technical materials to design the most comfortable equipment, capable of withstanding all the conditions that motorcyclists may encounter, whether they are adventurers and backpackers, travel enthusiasts, or in search of everyday motorcycling comfort.

To find out more about GORE-TEX laminates, head to the world of Touring with the Lakefield GORE-TEX set, which embodies BERING's technical expertise for motorbike touring and road trip enthusiasts.

To further enhance the quality of its products, BERING has selected a material renowned for its technical features and comfort. Thanks to a specific production process, the outer material of the GORE-TEX laminate is bonded to the waterproof and breathable membrane, offering motorcyclists optimum protection against rain and wind.

The Lakefield GORE-TEX jacket combines protection with comfort, thanks to features such as a removable high collar, magnetic flaps and adjustments and tightenings, not to mention numerous pockets. This motorbike jacket from the Touring universe is particularly well-suited to road trips and other long-distance journeys, so that bikers can enjoy the open road without having to worry about their equipment's resistance to the weather.

With its original design, the Lakefield GORE-TEX overalls complement the motorbike jacket. Waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX laminate, detachable braces and a covering shape to avoid the discomfort of bad weather: these motorbike dungarees are designed to offer protection and comfort to motorcyclists. With its side zip and pockets, it's practical for everyday use. With the Lakefield GORE-TEX set, demanding weather conditions are no longer a problem!

Following on from our Touring range, we're going for an original style with an Adventure set! With the Austral motorbike jacket in waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX laminate, technical trousers and matching gloves, adventure is just around the corner.

With its two-tone look, reflective element complying with the EN 17353 standard and offset front zip, the Austral jacket reflects the essence of BERING's Adventure equipment design. Featuring a removable SHELLTECH Mega lining in down jacket format, it's the perfect companion for all motorbike outings, whatever the weather.

Combined with the Austral technical trousers in GORE-TEX laminate and the Austral motorbike gloves, featuring a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane, the Austral jacket displays all the quality of its premium details and finishes.

Whether you're heading out for a long ride or caught in a sudden downpour, equipment such as the Lakefield outfit, the Ottawa jacket or the Austral outfit in GORE-TEX laminate will keep you comfortable, so you can face the road better and still enjoy riding.

Let's continue our exploration of technical materials with the GORE-TEX membrane, the ideal choice for motorbike outings in changing weather conditions. Waterproof and breathable, the GORE-TEX membrane offers effective protection against rain and wind, while allowing perspiration to evaporate.

This membrane is used, for example, in the design of the Antartica motorbike jacket and its associated technical trousers, a Touring ensemble.

The Antartica jacket has a SHELLTECH Mega lining, while the trousers have a SHELLTECH Classic lining. Versatility is a key objective for this set, so the linings are removable so that the equipment can be used in any season, while remaining waterproof and breathable thanks to the integrated membrane.

With reflective elements that comply with the EN 17353 standard, adjustable adjustments and numerous internal and external pockets, the Antartica set, available in two colours, offers optimum comfort for the biker, who can enjoy the road with high-quality technical equipment.

Thanks to the waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane, you can set off on a motorbike road trip with peace of mind, or plan long rides in winter or mid-season, depending on what you fancy. There's no risk of coming home soaking wet from a downpour: on a motorbike, you always want to get through the drops, but you might as well be prepared when they catch up with you!

Who has never felt the bite of the cold on their fingertips while riding, or even an icy dampness when it rains? Many motorcyclists are confronted with this, whatever their bike and whatever their use.

Some people prefer to fit muffs to their scooters or motorbikes, while others enjoy the comfort of heated grips... but for those who can only rely on their motorbike gloves, it remains to choose the best compromise between riding sensations and resistance to the cold!

In some parts of the world, during the cold season, weather conditions can make motorcyclists uncomfortable. Thanks to the technical nature of GORE-TEX materials, the same performance philosophy applies to this category of BERING equipment.

To get to grips with this range of essential products for bikers, let's start with the gloves in the Austral outfit, which feature a GORE-TEX membrane combined with a Primaloft thermal lining made from recycled fibres. It's the ideal combination for keeping your hands warm and preventing persistent wetness.

Thanks to features such as double cuff tightening, a long cuff lined with an inner cuff, and the Sensor System for use with touch screens, Austral gloves provide optimum comfort for bikers, whatever the weather.

Some BERING glove models are available in men's and women's versions, such as the Hercule and Lady Hercule gloves. Featuring a long cuff, a dense thermal lining (110g) and a GORE-TEX membrane, these motorbike gloves are particularly suited to the cold season.

They're easy to adjust thanks to the double cuff tightening, and they're both supple and comfortable thanks to their gusseted articulations and their mix of softshell and goatskin leather.

Boogie and Lady Boogie make perfect mid-season motorbike gloves, with their lightweight (60g) thermal lining and GORE-TEX membrane for waterproofing and breathability in milder weather.

Mid-length cuff, Sensor System, mix of textile and leather: ideal for practical, comfortable everyday wear with Boogie motorbike gloves for men and Lady Boogie for women.

GORE-TEX technical materials are also used in accessories for bikers, with Windstopper technology (GORE-TEX Infinium™ Windstopper®) and its four variations. A choker, a maxi tube, a balaclava and a chest protector are just some of the accessories you can choose from to accompany you on the roads in winter.

GORE-TEX's Infinium™ Windstopper® technology and its windproof effect will be on hand, allowing you to ride without feeling the icy chill along the back of your neck, just between the helmet and the collar of your jacket.

You'll also be protected from the wind - you know, those gusts that play with the screen of your helmet that you've lifted to try and defog it a little...

The Windstopper balaclava or maxi tube helps keep the wind out of your cheeks, keeping you as comfortable as possible whatever the conditions.
