French motorcycle gear with cult status

The Helstons brand was created in Paris in 1990. Originally, Helstons was exclusively a leather fashion label, but it soon ventured into the production of protective clothing for motorcycle riders.
Even after 30 years, the brand's fashion legacy is still clear to see in every item in its stylishly designed collection. But what you only discover at a second look is the modern safety features, namely CE-certified protectors. So if you're a fan of an authentic retro look, whether in leather or textile, then Helstons is for you.

Most traditional, high-quality outer material with cult status for motorcycle clothing and accessories. Unmistakable in its natural, high-quality look, the strong image, ideally suited to both figure-hugging and highly functional designs. The biker's "second skin" still has the edge over any textile material when it comes to safety and resistance to abrasion and tearing. The way the material stretches as the clothing is worn means that leather clothing adapts to the body contours ideally, thus also guaranteeing that protectors fit optimally. Leather clothing should therefore always be bought with a close fit. Impregnation, leather oil and surface coatings guarantee good weather protection and a degree of rainproofing, but unfortunately also limit the breathability. Relatively heavy, but enthusiasts value this as a "quality feature". Looked after properly, it is very durable. Because leather does not itself offer much thermal insulation, the other features of the garment, or the base layers of clothing, must provide some help here.
