The 80's ruled on so many levels. Our latest moto jersey channels that cheesy aesthetic that we can't get enough of. These American-made racing jerseys are carefully hand-crafted by our friends at Hot Shoppe and feature 100% plated polyester construction with sublimated color blocking and graphics. Topped with a comfortable woven round collar and extra-narrow cuffs. Front and back shoulder/yoke panels feature micro-ventilated weave for maximum cooling. The back panels are left extra-plain so you can add your name and race number if you are that serious. These high-performance jerseys run tight for athletic builds. Go up one size from your standard t- shirt, or two sizes up to fit comfortably over protective gear like elbow guards and under-the-jersey body armor.

One of our favorite designs this year works great on this super-comfortable midweight crewneck sweatshirt. This happy-go-lucky creation was hand-drawn by the world renowned artist Jay Cruz @jcruzstudios. Super dark navy color is a great alternative to basic black. 8.5 oz (280 gm) cotton/polyester blend fleece is a standard fit and is detailed with hand-screened water-based inks, woven clip tag. Printed in the USA.

White might be an optimistic color for a motorcyclist, but we believe in you! This sweet unit was draw up by our long time friend Alan Close @apocdesign. 100% pre-shrunk 6oz cotton tee is detailed with hand-screened water-based inks, woven clip tags and the irritating collar tag has been replaced by a screen-printed label. We consider this the perfect long sleeve blank – it's got a buttery feel and is thick enough to be durable, but not a baggy old man shirt. It's a true regular-fit, not a super thin slim-fit. Printed in the USA.

Luis @monstercadet penned this one based on the ’57 Panhead Bill rode on the Operation Numbnuts trip through Alaska and Canada back in 2022. That old junk heap made it the whole way! 100% pre-shrunk 6oz cotton tee is detailed with hand-screened water-based inks, woven clip tags and the irritating collar tag has been replaced by a screen-printed label. We consider this the perfect T-shirt blank – it's got a buttery feel and is thick enough to be durable, but not a baggy old man shirt. It's a true regular-fit, not a super thin slim-fit. Printed in the USA.

Jade @jadehowdy has a unique illustration style that we just love. We thought it would be fun to go against the grain with this upbeat and whimsical design. 100% pre-shrunk 6oz cotton tee is detailed with hand-screened water-based inks, woven clip tags and the irritating collar tag has been replaced by a screen-printed label.

NOTE: these do NOT fit the new ECE 22.06 Gringo S helmets. These are for the ECE 22.05 helmets only.

Replacement shields for Gringo S helmets are injection molded with highly scratch- and impact-resistant polycarbonate thermoplastic. Our latest Gen-2 shields fit all Gringo S models because they ship with an all-new baseplate kit. These baseplates have an improved mechanism that results in firmer detents for three open positions. Anti-fog treatment included for maximum optical clarity.

Technical Details

• Injection-molded scratch- and impact-resistant polycarbonate thermoplastic construction
• Nickel-plated stainless-steel snap on shield fastens securely to snap on helmet shell
• Colored shields feature in-mold tint technology
• Mirrored shields feature reflective coating in a variety of surface finishes to reduce glare
• Every shield color and style provides 91% UV/A and 99% AV/B light resistance based on AATCC-138 test standard
• Anti-fog treatment on shield interior fights moisture build-up from breathing and humidity

Care and Maintenance

To clean your shield, use mild soapy water solution and a microfiber cloth to loosen bugs and road debris, then dry it with a second clean microfiber towel. Never use harsh household or petroleum-based chemicals to clean your shield, especially on the inside, as they can destroy the shield's special coatings. If the retainer snap on your Gringo S shield becomes tight or sticky, apply one drop of general-purpose light household oil to the inside. Apply one drop of medium-strength blue Loc-Tite to the threads of both hinge screws every time you install a shield.
