The latest two-piece textile suit from Teiz Motorsports (pronounced “taze”) is the Navigator.

Jacket $499, sizes S-XXXL
Pants $299, 36-52 waist sizes

This traditionally styled adventure-touring jacket and pant is manufactured in company owner Ghazi Farooq’s home country of Pakistan using reflective-striped, stretch-panel-equipped and fully vented 500-denier Cordura. Military-grade SuperFabric ballistic panels are used in high-impact zones, and shoulders, elbows, back, hips and knees are protected by CE-certified SAS-Tech armor. Multitudinous storage options include a large backpack-style pocket on the back of the jacket.

I own a Teiz Power Shell – the one piece version of the Navigator – and I’m really pleased with it. Compared to my old Roadcrafter, the fit is better, armor is superb, and ventilation is greatly improved. It’s also more flexible at lower temperatures with the optional liner. I’m in Dallas and I’ve worn it from 30 degrees up over 100. That’s tremendous versatility, especially considering that my suit is entirely black.

My main complaint is with the arm strap mechanisms. Teiz switched to a velcro strap, instead of the buttons pictured above, and it simply doesn’t work well. The upper arm strap can’t get tight enough without tailoring.

Beyond that, though, I’m happy. Teiz makes a great product and, with their recent pricing changes, a tremendous value in the market.
