A strong partner
Schwarz embarked on a mission to develop the perfect motorcycle suit. He already had extensive
experience along with plenty of ideas. But a state-of-the-art suit with active materials calls for high-tech
textiles. You can’t just run one up on your granny‘s sewing machine. It’s not just that materials such as
membranes require complex processing technologies. Well-known suppliers such as W. L. Gore also
require precisely defined certification processes before
you are even allowed to use their products. This called
for a competent partner with in-depth experience in textile
engineering – and the Bavarian manufacturer
Stadler fit the bill exactly.

The concept
The renowned clothing manufacturer’s vast wealth
of experience was just what Herbert Schwarz needed to
implement his ideas. The requirements for the Touratech
suit were jointly defined. It was vitally important that the
suit allowed maximum ventilation for physical exertion at
high temperatures. On the other hand, it needed to be
completely wind and waterproof in adverse conditions.
The rider’s passive safety was high up on the list too, of
course. Features such as variable widths for the perfect fit,
adjustable cuffs and zips etc. could be taken for granted
in a joint development like this by two expert partners
such as Touratech and Stadler.
If you wanted to sum up the basic concept of the
Touratech suit in a nutshell, it would be „3 in
1“. In other words, with the Touratech
Compañero you get three suits in one.
