Engineered Clothing for the Road Ahead

Altouris began where most great rides do—in the garage.

I’ve always built things from the ground up — hot rods, classics and bikes. But when I discovered adventure motorcycling in 2004, everything changed. The freedom and raw beauty of the outback hooked me — but the gear didn’t.

From freezing mornings to blazing afternoons, no base layer could keep up. I was either cold, drenched or constantly adjusting.

So I built something better.

After plenty of research, prototyping, and field testing across Australia’s toughest terrain, the Altouris Technical Base Layer was born — engineered for riders who demand comfort, adaptability, and endurance in any condition.

Engineered for Riders, by Riders

Altouris isn’t just a brand—it’s a response to a problem most riders have learned to live with. Our mission is simple: create high-performance gear that adapts to the rider, not the other way around.

Our hero product, the Technical Base Layer, is made from a Merino-synthetic blend that regulates body temperature, resists odours, and manages moisture without adding bulk. But we didn’t stop there. From removable sleeves and vented underarms to an integrated hood and neck gaiter, every detail is engineered for function, comfort, and long-haul reliability.

We call it engineered clothing—designed not just to endure the ride, but to enhance it.
