Vest - BMW AirVantage Vest

With BMW's AirVantage Vest, it doesn't matter how cold the weather because air may always be added to enhance its insulation properties. You might choose the AirVantage to wear under a light jacket that isn't insulated. The "bearable" temperature range can be expanded considerably by wearing the AirVantage.

The AirVantage is an adjustable insulating vest for all motorcyclists who want to be able to regulate their personal "climatic comfort." The wearer can regulate the thermal insulation value according to his / her personal taste by either blowing in or releasing air into/from the vest. Its material is a completely new development. Impermeable to air and still capable of breathing. In case of increased physical activities or higher ambient temperatures, evacuating air from the vest may reduce the insulation properties and so the resistance to the permeation of water vapor - this means perspiration can escape through the garment faster.

AirVantage technology offers many possibilities: When fully blown up, its insulation value is comparable to that of a Polartec 200 fleece jacket. With the air fully evacuated, this insulation value is near zero, allowing for a faster heat transfer - without having to remove or zip in / out any additional garments.
