Santa Cruz Skateboards is one of those brands we have looked up to since Biltwell’s founding in 2006. Their mission statement sums it up perfectly “To inspire fans of skateboarding and art by drawing from our past, in the present, for the future…” Created in 1985 by Jim Phillips, the Screaming Hand is one of the most recognizable skate logos of all time and we thought it was the perfect fit for a collaboration on this limited edition Gringo helmet.
The Gringo has been a top choice among modern motorbike riders since we introduced it a decade ago. The latest iteration of our classic full-face helmet now meets the European Union’s more robust ECE R22.06 safety standards to provide a higher level of rider protection.

Helmet Fitment
Please follow the instructions in our sizing chart before ordering a new helmet in the same size as your current model. To meet Europe's new, more robust standards for impact attenuation and rider safety, ECE R22.06-certified helmets may fit you more snugly than similar US DOT-compliant models.
NOTE: Biltwell offers accessory cheek pads so you can fine-tune the comfort of your helmet against your cheeks and face for a perfect fit.
