Touratech Campanero Suit

[Deleted account 230818001]

Hi all,

Does anyone out there have a Campanero suit ? If so, what do you think of it ? Is it worth the money ? Does it work well in different weather conditions ? Is it comfortable ?

I've noticed that with the euro being a bit crappy at the moment, I can save about £260 buying the jacket, trousers and neck tube, in the new all black design, from a German supplier rather than from a UK one and may be tempted if the gear's any good.

Staedler make the suit for TT. See if you can find a price for their suit it may be even cheaper.

Completely impartial review..? Or was it a freebie from TT

nothing to do with getting lots of freebie stuff from TT at all!

wasnt there some postings a while back and some controversy about all the freebies they got in malaysia and borneo?

I don't blame them, but if nothing else it was a reference to someone else using the suit. Even if it was free... if it was shit I wouldn't be using it... so maybe ask them if they are still using theirs

All interesting and useful but does anyone on this forum have one ? And are they any good ?

As a comparison, take a look at the Klim suit- I have the Badlands jacket and traverse pants. Cracking suit!

Maybe people are embarrassed to admit they paid so much for their kit ?

At least, if I do buy one, I'll be the only tosser wearing one

Companero

Hi all,

Does anyone out there have a Campanero suit ? If so, what do you think of it ? Is it worth the money ? Does it work well in different weather conditions ? Is it comfortable ?

I've noticed that with the euro being a bit crappy at the moment, I can save about £260 buying the jacket, trousers and neck tube, in the new all black design, from a German supplier rather than from a UK one and may be tempted if the gear's any good.

What I can say after using it for two weeks now: this suite is extremely good when it's really warm. It's still comfortable with 95 F (35 C). The pants are even lighter than the KLIM Mojave (which I also like).

At the moment I think it's a very good solution for a temperature range from about 58 F (14 C) to over 100 F (40 C).

The quality is great, it's fitting perfectly and there are a lot of useful details.

One disadvantage (beside the price...): the goretex layer need much more space than a normal rain suite if you store it in your boxes . The advantage is that you can easily reach the pockets in the basic pants.

If you wear the complete suite you can use a lot of pockets. At least two of them are really waterproof. My two KLIM adventure suites did not have a single pocket in the jacket that is waterproof.

So up to now I can say that I would buy it again. I really enjoy travelling with it in summer weather more than with any other suite that I had before (BMW Savannah, BMW street guard, BMW Rallye 2 and 3, KLIM adventure).

Of course you can have a similar result if you buy a cheaper mesh suit plus a goretex/sympatex...rain suite. But if your budget allows it the Companero imho is a very good looking and perfectly fitting suit.

That's all for now. More about it in three or four weeks when I'm back from France, England and Denmark.
